Five on Friday: Anniversary Edition!

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!  In ten … [Read more...]

Five on Friday: Random Thoughts

T.G.I.F.  Y'all.  The past few weeks have about done me in and I'm so excited to see the weekend, I can't even stand it.   I'm a little brain-dead these days, so I thought we'd do a fun Five on Friday of random thoughts and things that I'm enjoying lately.  Ready?? 1.  Deep South Details.  I feel like I've mentioned these gals before, but if so blame on menopausal forgetfulness!  I found this podcast last fall and fell in love with these … [Read more...]

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...]

Five on Friday: Favorite Super Bowl Eats

Remember the days when the Super Bowl was played in January?   Not sure why that crossed my mind recently, but it did!  In our house the Super Bowl is sort of the last hurrah of football season and marks the beginning of a dearth of sports viewing pleasure... until Opening Day for baseball.  Unless you count some exciting March Madness games.  You can see where our priorities lay around here #housefullofboys. So Super Bowl 50 is upon us and … [Read more...]

Five on Friday: Things I Love About January

TGIF, friends!  I have been non-stop this week working on Legacy but did squeeze in some cool stuff I'll share soon, too.  It's pouring down a COLD rain this morning, but I thought it would fun to do a Five on Friday post... with five things I love about January.  January is such an under-appreciated month!  Over the past several years, I have come to LOVE it ... and here's why. 1.  Post-holiday down time. I love the slower pace of January … [Read more...]

This ‘n That Monday

Happy Cyber Monday, friends!  Have you got your holiday shopping on yet?  I have a few things I'll be ordering today, but for the most part I try to shop all year so the financial hit isn't so hard this time of year. :)  The blogosphere is loaded with Gift Guides the past few days, and though I was tempted to put one together myself, I thought I'd just share a little randomness with you today. All 7 of us were together (briefly!) on … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving…

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...]

Country Living Fair 2015

Well, that weekend flew by, but we had such a great time with our out-of-town friends!  Sandy and I took in the Country Living Fair on Saturday and made a day of it.  The weather was perfect -- overcast and mild -- for strolling between the vendors, enjoying some music and good food, and shopping like crazy. One of things I love about the CL Fair is that I always come away inspired!  The Country Living folks and all of the vendors do such an … [Read more...]
