The Give Joy Project

Last weekend Sam and I went to Home Depot as a family of 5 looking for a new edition for our outdoor Christmas decor. While shopping we were told twice that we had our “hands full”. Later that day at the beach while wrangling 5 boys (Waylon and Zeke + my nephews) and carrying Ruby […]

A new look with Coast To Coast

About a month ago I did something I had put off for wayyyy to long…changing the look of my blog and brand. Brand, that sounds so funny to say since so much of what I write about is my family and the things I learn and love. I typed “brand” into my browser to see what Google […]

San Onofre Beach Photoshoot

Summer is in full swing! So much so that I actually have started to think about Fall and chunky sweaters and pumpkin lattes and…okay okay I’ll stop and enjoy the sun more. I can’t tell you how much I love photographing children. Children are easy to capture when you let them be themselves. I just […]

Malibu “Mini Market” Photoshoot

I am a lover of Nancy Meyers’ movies. Nancy Meyers has a way of making you want to live in her movies. I have nothing but love for her elegant yet whimsical aesthetic. I mention all this because the Malibu Zuma Barn home (which you can rent on Kid + Coe)…is very much Nancy Meyers and very much my dream […]

Good Mornings

Mornings have become my favorite time of day. That wasn’t always the case though; I used to wake up feeling sluggish and my first thought would be how and when I could get both my kids to nap today. It’s amazed me how adding a few things and deleting a few things from my daily routine […]

Sight To Be Seen

I’ve worn glasses (now contacts) since I was 3 years old. Exhibit A below…my first day of preschool with my best friend (we’re still best friends today).When EyeBuyDirect asked Waylon and I to pick out some of our favorite spectacles I was thrilled. I also had a flash back to my days in Kindergarten when I […]

The garments are fashioned using a mix of new and […]

Tink & Key

A morning with Waylon and Tink & Key… This “Train em Up” pullover is one of my favorites; every time I pull it over my son’s head and feed his arms through the proper holes it reminds me of the great task I have to teach him and guide him in the right way. Sometimes this […]

Modern Moses

I have had the privilege of working with a new brand called Modern Moses Clothing Company. The creators of Modern Moses are a great little family from Portland Oregon who were inspired by their little boy to create a brand of fun, hip, and sustainable clothing for children that model their favorite Bible stories, verses, and songs. They founded […]
