Good Friday morning, friends. First of all, I am once again heartbroken by a terrorist massacre... how many of these must we see? My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France today. I can't even begin to comment further, but I know you share my grief over this latest attack. I intended to finish up my porch this week among other things, but alas Legacy projects and meetings took precedence. There is soooo much cooking right now to … [Read more...]

Howdy! I hope you all had great Fourth of July weekend! I did a little bit of Legacy work and a whole lotta relaxing poolside with the hubs. I even managed to sleep in a bit! #holidayweekendforthewin Today I thought I'd share a little of this 'n that from the last several days. First of all, my BFF, my Girl, and I took in Emily Giffin's launch party for her new book First Comes Love. I'm a huge fan of her stories and she is so funny and … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday, y'all! This week has already gotten away from me... I knew I'd be busy this summer, but MAN! We had a minor flood in our basement storage room over the weekend so I've been sorting through that mess on top of what I already had on tap for the week. #Boo. Anyway, I'm popping in today to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now... A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I'd strayed from my bookish ways and had … [Read more...]

I'm ready to get rocking on that bad boy. Today's Five on Friday is another dose of randomness but all good stuff... 1. What Should I Read Next podcast. Yes, another podcast, but it's another good one! Anne Bogel from the blog The Modern … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! Thank you for all your sweet comments about Legacy yesterday... it's been amazing to watch God work and I look forward to the day I can share fully my testimony!

Hey there! I hope your week is off to a great start! I'm still trying to figure out where the weekend went... I spent some time relaxing, watching TV and reading, whipped up a couple of chalkboard projects for the booth, and enjoyed a FUN girls' night out/sleep over with some dear old friends. I intended to spend time shredding paperwork in my home office, but that seemed like no fun... and didn't get done. :) And this morning it's rainy … [Read more...]
Book Review: Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World
February 9, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
I had hoped to get this review up a week ago, but at last here it is... I have lingered in this book. I posted this photo a few weeks back when I was first digging into the reading and it got quite the reaction on Facebook. Apparently there are many of us parents struggling with the sense of entitlement that seems to reign in our current culture. You all know my kids are older -- millenials, most of them. And that word "entitlement" is … [Read more...]

Whew, TGIF! Busy times around here and I'm looking forward to a football weekend with our Auburn peeps. The sun is FINALLY out today so I'll be working on a paint project (see below!) and finishing up food for our early tailgate tomorrow morning. I thought it was good time to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now before my to-do list gets the best of me! What I'm reading... these two books. I'm usually not that great at … [Read more...]

Hi friends... Well, I checked out again for a bit, but I'm back! I spent 10 days in Texas with my family at the beginning of October, taking in some Texas Aggie football and then trekking to Amarillo to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. It was such sweet family time... And so then, when I got back, I had to hit the ground running for Legacy (more on that this week). And so while I intended to post last week, life got in … [Read more...]

Well, here we are! The last day of August... how did that happen??

May be time to call in a professional! #ugh Today I'm going to recap my posts from July and August... just in case you missed something!
