Thank you to those that entered my Country Living Fair giveaway! I've put the lucky winner at the bottom of this post... October is already flying by, isn't it? I feel like I'm already running from one thing to another, don't you? I have to say, though, October is one of my favorite months of the year with so many festive events, the gorgeous shift to fall weather and that teensy window of time to just enjoy before the madness of the … [Read more...]
Five on Friday: Beach Trip Edition
September 30, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hi friends! I hope you've had an amazing week! Our schools have been on Fall Break all week, so I took advantage and scooted to the beach with my BFF for some R&R. I was pretty run down from work and that pesky cold-turned-cough, so it was a great time to catch up on my sleep and totally veg out in a beach chair for a few days! We totally lucked out on the weather -- it was sunny and breezy every day! Total win... This week's Five on … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
Five on Friday: Palm Print Fun

TGIF!! What a tragic week in the news, y'all. My heart just aches for the Orlando community -- first the Pulse shootings and then the Graves family tragedy at Disney. What has stood out to me is the reactions... sadly lacking in grace and compassion. I just keep praying for our country and the state of our hearts, y'all. Will you join me? In other news, it's been a week of meetings, phone calls, and other Legacy business -- so fun to see … [Read more...]

Howdy, friends! The hubs and I have escaped to one of our favorite spots for the weekend -- Lake Rabun... we're celebrating 10 years of marriage/blended family today! So of course, that tops the list for today's Five on Friday. :) 1. The plunge... if you didn't already know, we got married at his aunt's home on Lake Rabun and jumped off the boathouse after saying our vows. Lots of wonderful memories from that special day!

T.G.I.F. And I MEAN that! I'm ready to wind down this week, but not quite sure I'm ready to say goodbye to April! #yikes Thanks for sharing your thoughts on yesterday's porch plans post... 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.

This ‘n That Monday

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...]
In Case You Missed It: January

Well, a few days got away from me and here we are into February! Yikes! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I broke away for a girls' weekend at the beach and got the bonus fun of celebrating a dear old friend's 50th birthday at the same time. It was a good time and now it's back to cold/rainy/busy days here at home. :) I've got a list of posts for y'all coming in the next few weeks, but thought I'd flash back to January today, just … [Read more...]
