About Addi
hello there, friend! thanks for being here.
welcome to a snapshot of my daily life and all of my favorite things. cozy clothes, pretty home goods, nontoxic diys, and honest (& funny) moments as a mom and wife.
this website is probably the most PUT-TOGETHER part of my life…
and I really want you to know that. I have no goals of trying to make you believe that all of these pretty photos and neutral colors don’t come with a lot of mess because they most certainly do.
ninety percent of the time, my hair is in a greasy ponytail and our kitchen floor is sprinkled with pieces of dried-up scrambled eggs. my clothes are constantly covered in stains from snotty noses and sourdough starter, and my car is a perpetual mess. sometimes we still almost run out of money a few days before our next paycheck (but not as often as we used, praise the Lord!), and laundry piles up faster than I can blink.
but there is beauty in it all…
in the sink full of dishes,
in the sleepless nights,
in the silly fights,
and the loving apologies,
and I want you to see it too.
as an army brat, i moved 12 times before i graduated high school. i swore up and down i’d never marry a man in the military, and i DIDn’t.
I married a poet. a journalism major with a minor in creative writing. no chance he’d end up joining the army a few years after we got married and we’d move eight times in seven years….right? wrong. that’s exactly what happened. and to both my and your surprise, I wouldn’t change a thing.
my husband, Adam, and I got married in 2015 after I hard-core stalked him in our 300 person lecture hall my senior year of college. once I convinced him that I wasn’t a stalker, I was just in love with him, he finally agreed to date me. we were engaged nine months later and got married just seven months after that. he is my best friend, and building a life and family with him is a blessing I don’t deserve.
we currently live in Georgia with our two daughters, Margot + Harper — but don’t get too comfy cuz…we’re moving soon ;)

My fave things
my hope in sharing things I love with you here is not to encourage you to make unnecessary purchases or long for material items you don’t really need.
when I decide to share something, I make sure it falls into one of these categories:
1) it is improving my family’s health + wellness
2) it makes my life easier as a mom
3) it’s beautiful and purposeful
4) it brings me so much joy, I can’t help but share — aka, basically all of my aerie purchases ;)
when you make a purchase using a link I’ve shared, you are directly supporting my family. I make a small amount of commission (at no cost to you, of course), and I don’t take that for granted. that’s why I want to make sure that the products I share with you are ones that I truly love and stand behind.
