First and foremost, I want to extend our deepest condolences to all of the families of victims in the most recent school shooting in Texas and all of the families who have lost loved ones in tragedy. We simply cannot imagine losing a child in any scenario and are praying for healing and understanding during this difficult time. We hope this post offers some hope and ignites action and change.

Do you have that one special place that you love so much, that when you’re there, you get ALL the FEELS that stay with you until the next time you’re able to go again? Or you get those same feelings even when you just think about it? That place for me (and for so many others) is BOONE, NC.
We’ve seen them, we’ve envied them. We’ve tried to recreate them and failed. There’s this weird self-imposed pressure to have the picture-perfect nursery, because let’s be honest, you want to give your sweet little newborn a sanctuary.
