Happy long weekend, friends... happy to say we're hunkered down at home just catching up on life (and sleep) a bit. We both had super busy weeks last week so we're thankful for an extra day "off". :) I've been thinking about my reading goals for this year and how my reading in 2019 was somewhat disappointing. I didn't read nearly as many books as I'd hoped and planned on and actually abandoned more books than ever. I spent more time … [Read more...]
2020 Vision
January 13, 2020 by · Leave a Comment
Happy New Year, friends and readers! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are entering this new year -- and decade -- with a clear vision and focus on your goals! I spent some time mulling over my Word of the Year, considering last year's WOTY and how it applied, and thinking through some goals I'd like to articulate. Truth be told, progress on all of that was a little stilted due to some unexpected family things, so I'm still … [Read more...]
A Very Merry Christmas to You

Greetings to you, dear friends! I am wrapping up what has been one my busiest work seasons yet... and am SO looking forward to a bit of downtime over the next couple of weeks. All the gifts are finally wrapped and ready, the Christmas cards will get posted today, and after a meeting this afternoon, I will be in full blown holiday mode with family. I had grand plans to do more writing here this fall, but a precious little school called Legacy … [Read more...]
Do You Prime?

What did we ever do before Amazon Prime? I'm sure you're aware that Monday and Tuesday are Prime Days at Amazon -- SO many good deals to score! Here's my one tip for shopping this sale: Be focused on what you're looking for. Otherwise, you'll end up going down a rabbit hole and trust me - you can't get that time (or that money!) back! I will be scoping out a handful of things, but today I wanted to share a few of my favorite Amazon purchases … [Read more...]

Hi there, friends! I had an interesting week last week and didn't accomplish everything I'd hoped, but such is life, right? We're headed into another week of Summer Camp at Legacy, so I'm getting organized for that and trying to rest up a bit today. :) I did want to pop in and share a new summer recipe that we're obsessed with these days -- courtesy of my friend Sandy! She served this over the 4th of July and we loved the crisp freshness and … [Read more...]
What I Learned This Month: June
July 5, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Hi friends! I'm enjoying some out-of-town time with the hubs and some dear friends this week, celebrating the 4th. It's HOT HOT HOT, but we're immersing ourselves in a spring-fed "creek"... if you follow me on Instagram you know of what I speak! I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull this post together, as I wasn't particularly intentional about taking note of things I learned last month. But after mulling it over, some things swam to the … [Read more...]

Greetings, friends, and Happy Independence Week! I am headed out of town for the rest of the week and can't wait to put my feet in some COLD water and enjoy a fun time with our friends. It's been a hot minute since I've shared any recipes here, but I thought I'd collect my 4th of July favorites to share with you today! A fave fresh little dessert. The 4th of July cookie bites are SO YUMMY! Super easy to make and just the right mix of … [Read more...]
Five on Friday
June 28, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Happy Friday, everyone! We had such a great week at Legacy summer camp -- lots of great crafts and activities built around our favorite books. We'll do this theme again, as everyone (kids and teachers!) seemed to LOVE it! We're keeping it light for Five on Friday this week -- just some fun things that have come on my radar in the past week! I'm in need of a new travel cosmetics case, now that I'm at the age of numerous skin care/hair … [Read more...]
Summer Read: The Thirteenth Tale
June 26, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Hi there, friends! Legacy summer camp is in full swing this week and we are all having SO much fun! I sure do love these kiddos and it's a treat to spend a little time with them this summer. Today I wanted to share a few thoughts about The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It's been around for a while (published in 2007) but this was my book club's May pick, so it made the cut for summer reading! I began this in early May, and was … [Read more...]
Five on Friday

Happy First (Official) Day of Summer! Seems only appropriate that it would fall on a Friday, right? I see lots of late night swimming, grilling, and lightning bug catching for many of you this evening. :) I, personally, am celebrating that I managed to get three posts up this week! Let's hope it's a trend... Today I'm resurrecting the Five on Friday posts - a random collection of things that have caught my attention over the past week. … [Read more...]
