I started a tradition last year in sharing a year in review post with images that Matt shot on film (You can read last years post here) and I decided to continue this year! It’s a great way to share some of the more behind-the-scenes pictures that never make the blog or instagram, and also a way to show you that we are indeed just…
The first snow ALWAYS makes me pretty giddy – in fact, every snow thereafter makes me giddy too. I will never forget my first real winter living here. I worked at a supply house, and I came into work screaming SNOOWWWWW and all of the seasoned NY veterans were rolling their eyes at me. I made snow angels, and went the extra mile to realllly…
Happy Holidays! We love you all, and are so thankful for your continued support! Hope you have an incredible Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanza!! Love, The Degreffs…
We have a few holiday traditions every year – we attend the drive-thru light show, we help my family decorate the Christmas village and we spend every single Christmas Eve at my Aunt Elisa’s house. Some of you who have followed for a while may have heard me mention Elisa once or twice, but she lives up the street from me + I am very…
We’re down to crunch time, people! It’s time to pickup those last minute gifts & stocking stuffers, and what better place to run into than your local Target?!? Don’t even get me started on how many times I’ve visited Target this past month (it’s more than the number you probably have in your head) because tbh if Hudson is having a grumpy day or we’re…
For the first time in our lives, we have a guest bedroom! It felt really important to have, especially since both of our parents live in Florida, and want to spend time with Hudson. Every time they would visit, they would have to find an Airbnb, a hotel, or a family members house to stay in and we started to feel pretty bad about…
Sponsored by Zappos Luxury Shooting photos of your outfits does become VERY difficult during the winter months when the sun sets by 4PM and the days are freeezing cold. I am going to let you in on a few tips and tricks that I follow while shooting in 40 degree temperatures (yup, it was 40 degrees F this day!) – I’ve picked up a few…
If there’s one family member that sometimes gets forgotten over the holidays, its the pup. Claude was our original baby, but since having Hudson she has taken a bit of a back seat. We feel sooo bad about it sometimes, and to make up for the past year filled with the attention on Hudson, we wanted to spoil her this holiday season. We picked up a…
After talking about this with SO many other bloggers, I finally had to write a post about something that I am so internally torn about in this profession. So many of you message me and ask me “How do you afford all of these things all of the time??” and I know that the big question mark is how do bloggers do…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 Yup, I am that person who is already thinking of New Years options before Christmas, but to be honest I love to purchase them now, get it out of the way, and also get more use out of them during the holiday season! Here’s a few of my favorites that…
Sponsored by Zappos The holiday season is the PERFECT time to splurge & invest in amazing outwear for your kids, right before the heart of winter hits. I know one of my biggest concerns during the winter months are whether Hudson is staying warm and cozy when we’re out and about. It stinks to stay holed up inside the house, and we absolutely love going…
OMG, am I now one of those moms who refers to their baby in months until they’re 50 months old? I guess it sounds weird to say 1 year + 1 month old update, and I want to keep the updates coming, at least until Hudson is walking, just for my own memories’ sake! Plus, I love reading other mamas monthly updates. Let me know…
One of the biggest things that everyone has asked us over the past month is “How Are You Liking Living In a House???” They keep mentioning to us how much better it probably is than apartment living, and it definitely does have it’s pros. But that is the thing, it has it’s pros AND it has it’s cons, just like everything else in the universe, and…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 P.S. The rainbow pillow is glow in the dark. Seriously the coolest gift maybe ever!!!! 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9…
It’s THE MONTH OF RED, and you know I’m over prepared with way too many red sweaters & blouses. This is just the first of many 🙂 But I wanted to share some of my favorites with you if you’re in a time crunch, and looking to find some holiday tops of your own. The red is such a great way to “festive” up a look,…
Both my parents and Matt’s parents live in South Florida, so we flew down for the Thanksgiving holiday. It felt good to be home, because we hadn’t visited since Hudson was 2 months old (although our parents have visited us here tons and tons of time, which is awesome). We caught up with family, friends and ate sooo much food. Too much food! It feels…
One of my go-to Fall looks includes high waisted jeans, over the knee boots and a cozy sweater. Basic? Yes. But it always gets the job done and is both cozy and stylish at the same time! I love these boots, and they were only $30! Insane! The jeans are the 10 inch high-rise from Madewell, which are one of my all-time favorite pairs of…
From fear to fun – the first year starts out with that oh sh*t feeling of coming home with this tiny, scary, delicate little person who somehow CAME OUT OF YOU ?!?! and slowly turns into a whole lot of fun. It’s hard for me to think back on how scared I once was, because his head is basically the size of mine now, and…
Can you believe this little fox is 1? Me either. He is the cutest, silliest most brilliant tiny person I’ve ever known, and it amazes me daily that he is mine. As I mentioned in the preparations post, I knew we had to celebrate him in a big way. Even though it was quite stressful having 40 people in our home right after moving, I…
This crazy time of the year is here, and while I know the point is not to shop, and to be thankful for what we already have, I am also amazed at some of the deals out there. It’s crazy guys. Don’t spend TOO MUCH time in front of the screen shopping, but maybe pop in for a few and pick up the things you’ve…
