Shout out to Flora, Mississippi! Flora is genuinel Shout out to Flora, Mississippi! Flora is genuinely the cutest, sweetest small southern town!

I went to visit my friend Sarah at her gallery @mctaggartfineart (and loooved the vibe in there!) then wound up just walking up and down Main Street popping into shops. I ended with a visit to @thecornerpharmacyandmarket where I got a delicious iced coffee (may I recommend The Flora? It’s white chocolate and caramel!) and enjoyed browsing the merch. 

We already love all the Flora restaurants, but I did just find out there is a little speakeasy of sorts on Main Street! Has anyone been?!

I really do love when I get a chance to spend a little time here. It’s almost like a step back in time, into slower, simpler days, and I love it!

Needed this sweetness to have a longstanding spot Needed this sweetness to have a longstanding spot in my feed 🥹

I can’t remember how old my bigger two were when they started riding longer distances on their bikes by themselves, but with this being my baby, it seems different. Like a bigger deal maybe. Hard to put words to it!

Isn’t it strange how contrasting the multiple childhoods we are blessed to foster can be? Motivation, discipline, and growth look so different in my three. This particular step towards independence felt so big for my little caboose. Proud of him and so grateful to get to be his mama! 

Now go enjoy that play-based childhood, buddy!
Happy FALL!! I actually look forward to getting up Happy FALL!! I actually look forward to getting up in the mornings right now because it’s been feeling soooo good outside! 🥰🍁
