Since the holidays, we have been cleaning, purging and organizing in our house! It feels GREAT! I truly cannot blame the wild toddler in the house for the extra clutter… it’s all me! We have (thankfully) lived in this house for about 6 years, and man, have we accumulated some stuff. It feels good to get rid of unnecessary things and deep clean for Spring. My friend Jane with Southern Calligraphy and I have made a little pact to hold each other accountable with our minimalist goals this year. It’s not a “one day fix” but we are mapping out the whole year so we can stay on top of this goal and start the transition to minimizing our belongings and decluttering our spaces and lives!
With all that to be said, Thomas’s toys seem to silently SCREAM at me in every room. If you know me, you know I was hell bent on not letting kids toy’s take over the home we’ve worked so hard for. So as we donated great toys and kept some classics that we adore, I noticed how many are from Etsy and wanted to share them with y’all. Thomas isn’t in Montessori school (or any school yet) but I do lean toward that style of play/learn when given the choice (so you may notice a theme). Otherwise, some are just cute and fun and I hope to keep forever!

Okay, that last one is strictly for me and not a toy. So cute though, right? I just ordered T one for his room!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see some of the toys in action! I try to post great finds there as well. Have any favorites I should add to my list? Let me know! xoxo

Another long break from blogging has me excited to share Kaylee and Nat's sweet Summer wedding at Little River Farms! Kaylee was referred to me from a friend and another sweet Summer wedding client. Her and her now husband are so fun and I was happy to be apart of their fabulous vendor list.
They had a full Catholic Mass at St. Peter's Catholic Church before their lovely reception. Kaylee wanted subtle Summer vibes and asked for some pops of color after she received a fun and festive commissioned painting from Britt Bass. We accented her dusty blue hues with pops of pink and blush. The wedding party had the luxury of staying at the venue... Little River Farms is complete with guest suites, an awesome man-cave in the basement, plenty of restrooms and vanities for hair and makeup, a full kitchen and more! The owners, Jennifer and Joe Ivey, are welcoming and gracious. They have poured their hearts into this venue and it shows in every corner! I feel honored to have worked there, and hope to again in the future! I can't say enough about this venue.
Kaylee and Nat utilized many LRF "perks", like their gorgeous in-house rentals (custom farm tables, gold chiavari chairs, wood bars, and more). We completed their reception design with loose garlands and full table settings for their guests! A spring of lavender with their menu's was one of my favorite VAD touches.

They had a ball, can't you tell? Their crowd danced the night away and enjoyed specialty cocktails from Little River Farms and late night pops from King of Pops in Atlanta! Check out their wedding video and vendor details below!
