Out to eat…Grace & Grit
Several months ago, I noticed a beautiful building being constructed in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. As I drove past it, staring at the beautiful details in the architecture, I noticed the name, Grace and Grit. I was thrilled to discover that Charleston, whom has an amazing culinary scene, was adding a new option for dining out. Walking up to the restaurant, I was drawn to the dark wood, the metal and most importantly the outdoor dining area. The restaurant is fresh, cozy and sophisticated. It was a crowded night, the lights were glowing giving off this great ambience and the weather

Summer Dresses
Morning friends! I hope the weekend treated you well! Ours was full of family time, a little date night and just simply wonderful. I am counting down the days until summer. I'm ready for my boys to sleep in, have fun days, go to the pool, the beach and just to have fun and relax. And, speaking of summer, it gets insanely hot here. And to tolerate the heat and to be comfortable, I wear a lot of dresses. I've put together some dresses that I absolutely love, have in a cart, or are
Jord Watches Giveaway
I have been crushing on Jord Watches for some time. I have several friends who own them and have always wanted one for myself. So, when my watch arrived at my door I was extremely excited! My boys loved the packaging and presentation of the watch. It is a beautiful gift! I wanted a darker watch and fell in love with this one with the dark face and gold. When I opened the box, I was not disappointed. It really is a beautiful and unique watch. It's lightweight, sustainable and just so different from other watches. The watches are made of
Is it spring yet?
I'm not sure about all of you, but Charleston has been having some pretty great weather, until lately. And, when you get a taste of the warm weather it's hard to go back to the cold. When we moved back in October, I did a drastic closet purge and had little to no spring and summer clothing. I sold a good amount and the rest I donated. With a fresh start, I wanted to find some fun pieces for the upcoming warm weather. I like a fun preppy look, I like the edgy look, I like it all and I

Getting ready for the holidays
Hi friends! How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I wanted to take the boys somewhere fun during their week off and we decided on the Biltmore. It was so lovely! I will have to take time to write a post and share our experience. After our visit to Asheville, we spent time with my in-laws and enjoyed our Thanksgiving festivities. But, before we left I sent out our Christmas cards! I'm sorry I got so excited over that, but I was so proud of FINALLY being on top of it. I feel that
A fun night of shopping with Roberta Roller Rabbit
Happy Wednesday night! I wanted to drop in and invite y'all to a fun event tomorrow night here in Charleston. I'm co-hosting an event at Roberta Roller Rabbit. There will be shopping, discounts, how d'oeuvres, drinks and fun! I was curious to learn how this store began and it's name. "Roberta Roller Rabbit was inspired by a fable of a magical rabbit that Roberta found on a piece of discarded fabric in India. Launched in 2003, with a collection of colorful hand block printed kurtas, the resort-inspired line has evolved into a lifestyle brand offering a plethora of products
Father’s Day Gift Guide
Hi friends! Hoping this post finds you well! First, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU for the overwhelming support, comments and love about our HGTV pilot Move In Ready! That was fun, exciting and it was really a proud moment for us! And, I apologize that the blog has received so little love. I feel that the last few months have been crazy, but a good crazy! The show, lots of real estate listings, real estate buyers and renovation projects have kept me super busy. Oh, and my most important job, being a mom, of course! So,
