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...]

Hump day, friends! I don't know about you, but I'm already looking forward to the weekend! Anyway, now that I've been at home for a couple of weekends, there are all kinds of things happening around here... feels good to finish up some things and change out some other things in the old home space. Today let's look at a couple of new additions to my family room gallery wall! Let's take a peek at what it looked like when I first finished it … [Read more...]

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...]
Feed A Crowd: Roasted Chicken & Potatoes
October 22, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Wednesday already? This week is flying by! We're enjoying the most beautiful weather here and I'm enjoying a productive week so far. How about you? Today I'm sharing another of my go-to dishes for feeding the masses that seem to land in my home at dinner time. There's often the last minute "hey Mom, can so-and-so stay for dinner so we can finish our project/watch the game" so I've hit on a few strategies that feed a lot without breaking … [Read more...]
#Wordsmatter: HOPE
October 20, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Ah finally -- a weekend that, in spite of being somewhat busy, was refreshing. And I needed refreshment. And some time to reflect on the week and this journey that I'm on -- getting healthy and re-evaluating. As I've raised my children and taught many others, one of the things I have said over and over is that words matter. Words can lift up and encourage and validate another. And words can also tear down, poison, and crush another. In … [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
October 15, 2014 by · 7 Comments
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...]
Me

Hi everyone and Happy Monday to you! The leaves are already coming down here in ATL but we don't have much color yet. I'm wondering if our harsh winter and wet summer have anything to do with it, but I'm holding out hope for some good fall foliage here in the next few weeks. I'm ready to get my "fall" on, y'all! Today marks something of a fresh start for me. Last week I took some time away with my husband and spent some time thinking and … [Read more...]
Catalog Finds: Anthropologie
October 7, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Hey there... I hope your week is off to a great start! We got our first blast of fall weather over the weekend and it got me so revved up to embrace the season at last! A couple of weeks ago the new Anthropologie Home catalog turned up in my mailbox and I spent a good hour going through it... their photographs are so richly staged with their home products I kept finding new and intriguing pieces every time I went back through. And it also … [Read more...]
