You probably already noticed it by now because it has been half a year, but Oak + Oats got a face-lift over the holidays before Millie arrived! It was a crazy season with moving and Christmas and baby and covid but now I am here to share all about it! There was so much about Oak + Oats I loved and wanted to keep the same but there were things about it that no longer felt like me. Specifically the colors. I loved blues and teals but I felt like they didn't match my photography and style as ... continue reading...
First pool day of the summer
Well this year is shaping out to be a year like no other! So many things have been closed for so long and now that things are starting to open up a bit, they are far from normal.

Fair Warning: This post took me forever to put together becasuse I had too much fun finding photos of outfits from each store/ category to feature! I included as many links as I ... continue reading...
Our First Fire Pit
Well it is not the most photogenic but I felt like documenting it non-the-less! We built our own fire pit in our new backyard with the rocks we dug out of it! The backyard needed some serious work and once spring & quarentine hit, we took to the backyard to make it more livable for us all. We have big dreams for this space and we're tackling once project at a time. The first step was cleaning up the yard, then adding fill dirt to help prevent our house from flooding, then some ... continue reading...
