Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)

Hello there!!  Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday?  Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-)   And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!).    We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days.  Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Fluff (Tasty Treat Recipe)

Happy Monday, folks!  I am on Thanksgiving break this week and am LOVING the chance to do some holiday baking, crafting, and decorating!  Last week just got crazy so the chance to breathe a bit is so very welcome. Today I'm sharing a super easy recipe for your holiday gathering (or just because!).  I got this a few years back from a sweet little shop so I can't properly credit whomever came up with this, but we've enjoyed it many times over … [Read more...]

Gift Ideas: Bourbon & Boots (and a GIVEAWAY!)

Hi friends!  Back today with some more awesome gift ideas from one of my favorite online boutiques, Bourbon & Boots.  I can't even remember how I discovered them a couple of years ago, but I've scored many a unique item from this collection of Southern-inspired vendors.  Remember this? This quirky wall decor creates so many fun conversations in my family room!  The tagline for Bourbon & Boots is "authentic Southern stories, gifts, … [Read more...]

New Discovery: Marietta Reclamation

Hi friends!  Whew, I'm still recovering from a fun fun time in NOLA with my BFF and other assorted dear old friends.  Don't you love it when you can pick up where you left off many years ago?  And that may just have been the last of pretty fall weather I'll see for a while -- it's way too frigid today for November in Atlanta!  And I'm fighting the urge to just crawl under my covers and call in sick. ;-) Anyway, thanks for all the sweet … [Read more...]

A Whole30 Update and a Little Christmas Eye Candy

Hey there and TGIF!!!  Whew.  I had quite the week in my classroom, but I'll save all those thoughts for another time.  Today I'm jetting off to The Big Easy with my BFF for my 25 year reunion at Tulane!  Woo hoo!!  I haven't been to New Orleans since Katrina, so I'm anxious to see how it's changed.  AND Tulane has a brand new football stadium so we've got some fun in store this weekend.  You may or may not see some shenanigans on Instagram. … [Read more...]

DIY Chevron Deer Head Wall Decor

Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!?  Happy Friday, y'all!  Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta.  What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor.  Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company.  If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website.  … [Read more...]

A Peek at My Booth…

Hi everyone!  I hope you all took the time to get out and VOTE yesterday!  Here in ATL, our schools were closed for the day so I got a bonus day at home to get some things done after voting... and if you follow me on Instagram, you saw I ended up shoe shopping, too.  Oops. ;-) #sorrynotsorry I ended up with some to. die. for. smokey taupe wedges.  Thank goodness for a BFF that was available by text to seal the deal. :) And how did we ever shop … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed it: October

Oh my goodness.  November, y'all.   Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway.  The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season.  So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week!  I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October.  Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]
