Five on Friday

Holy smokes, y'all... tomorrow is November!    Yowza!  If you follow me on Instagram, you know I had a busy week with the Little Ones -- Halloween is so much fun for them I always feel like I'm along for their ride, at least for a couple of days. :) Anyway, I enjoyed sharing a little randomness last Friday, so I'm thinking every so often I'll offer up a Five on Friday post, just for fun.   I've been back on my painting and DIY'ing horse this … [Read more...]

Country Living Fair 2014

Y'all.  What a beautiful fall weekend we had for the Country Living Fair!   It was just a fabulous and fun time all the way around.   I had a sweet friend from out of town that joined me and I also got to meet up with local blogging friends and Country Living folks!  I tried to snap pics of what was fun and catching my eye... Of course, our first stop was Cari's booth... that's her husband painting a piece with her new line of paints!  I … [Read more...]

Five on Friday

Howdy hoo, y'all... and TGIF!  I've had a super busy week and am really looking forward to some downtime and fun this weekend.  I've had a few things mulling around my brain this week, so thought I'd just smoosh them all into one random post.  Hope you don't mind! 1  A Whole30 update.  Okay, here's the deal.  Eating clean, whole foods and eliminating all the sugars and preservatives really hasn't been that hard.  In fact, the hubs and I … [Read more...]

DIY Go Dawgs Burlap Banner

Well, what do you know?  A new DIY project?  Say it ain't so... If you've followed this blog long enough, you know that we are a big SEC football household.  The hubs played football for Auburn, I was born and raised a Texas Aggie fan, and my daughter is a die-hard Georgia Bulldog.  You can imagine what Saturdays in the fall are like for us -- so many games to watch, so many loyalties to be divided at times.  But we do love our college … [Read more...]

Neutral Fall Mantel

I'm a little late to the fall mantel party, but I wanted to do one nonetheless;  we spent a huge amount of time in our family room when we're home and with the leaves just starting to turn outside my windows I wanted the mantel to reflect the change of season too.    This year I wanted it to be neutral with lots of texture and I think I'm there... Sorry if the photos are a little dark;  we had massive storms that blew through yesterday … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It {September}

Well, shoot, if you blinked you missed September!  Or so it seemed... I had a really busy month, but was a little light on posts around here.  I hope you don't mind;  I have a couple more crazy weeks and then a bit of a lull for a few weeks, so I'm planning to get some major projects around my house wrapped up.  Woo hoo! But here's what I DID share during September, just in case you missed it... My Director's Office makeover Feed a Crowd Taco … [Read more...]

Easy Harvest Centerpiece

Well, while spending most of the weekend on and off the couch, I managed to photograph my simple harvest centerpiece to share with y'all.  In the nick of time for this rapidly approaching Thanksgiving holiday! We spend every Thanksgiving at my mother-in-law's,  so I don't do a big tablescape in my home.   But these sweet pheasants were beckoning this year, so I decided a simple kitchen table centerpiece was in order. :) I used things I … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Table Inspiration

Howdy-hoo, y'all... SO thankful that I made it to the end of the week!  I got major fun stuff happening this weekend, so I hope I can muster up the energy to be fully in each moment! After confessing my desire to create a harvest tablescape, thanks to my new feathered friends, I decided to gather up some inspiration.  I don't do a lot of tablescapes, so it was fun to see what was catching my eye on the old world wide web. :)  Enjoy the eye … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It {October}

Holy Cow.  October flew by in a hurry, didn't it? My pause did not last nearly as long as I'd hoped, but I'm thankful there was a bit of one in there.  Here we are in November and the slide into the holidays is on its way! I think I'm actually ready to get some Christmas crafting going soon... is that scary or what? ;-)  Unfortunately when I look at our calendar for the month, I'm not seeing much time to spare!  Guess I'll have to get clever, … [Read more...]

My Fall Front Porch (Finally!)

Hello, friends!  It's practically Halloween and I haven't shared my porch yet!  Actually, I'm not a Halloween girl... so the most that might get added to this would be a fuzzy felt spider and a plug-in jack o'lantern. My peeps are no longer interested in carving pumpkins... in fact, they'll all be "hanging out" with friends and not trick-or-treating tomorrow night.  The hubs will be out as well, so it looks like me, my bowl of candy, and my … [Read more...]
