Hard to believe it but the month of May is history and we're in summer mode here in ATL. The irony is that during my teaching years I found myself in leisurely hog-heaven on June 2. This year however I think leisure will be hard to come by as we get Legacy ready to rock on August 10th. So I'm navigating new waters of having a hefty to-do list, no set schedule, and lots of summer time activities that may have to fall by the wayside. However, … [Read more...]
Easy DIY Graduation Gift
May 26, 2016 by · 2 Comments
It's that time of year -- that May Madness! We've been on a string of graduation parties and getting the house prepped for our own celebration later today and tomorrow. And now I'm in the throes of a TON of Legacy business (woo hoo!) so it's a nice juggling routine we've got working around here. I can't believe this guy is graduating! And along with that comes all those other graduation announcements... and before you know it … [Read more...]
Front Porch Progress
May 13, 2016 by · 3 Comments
Hello, friends! I hope you all had an awesome Mother's Day last weekend... this week totally got away from me with Legacy "to dos", but I have managed to eek out a little progress on the front porch. I have a breather this weekend so I'm hoping to get some more done out there, on the back deck, too, and tackle a couple of furniture projects for the booth. Good intentions, folks! ;-) Let's revisit our inspiration photo for my … [Read more...]
The Meaning of Legacy

Hi gang ~ I hope your weekend was wonderful! I had a great time at Lake Rabun with my in laws and a bunch of other "girls"... we had a such fun catching up and celebrating my SIL's career as an educator. Here was my view each morning when I woke up... It was a good time for me to unplug for a couple of days, too. I've spent some time over the last week or so thinking a lot about Legacy, so I thought I'd share a little of that brain … [Read more...]

The Front Porch Plan
April 28, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
This has been a busy week and I want to thank you all for your prayers... I have surely felt God's presence and His grace as I've moved through a few situations! I'm so thankful I serve a big God who walks with me, guides me, and shows His grace every day.

Hello, friends and happy Monday to you! I hope y'all had a great weekend. If you follow me on Instagram or we're friends on Facebook, you probably saw the fun time we had at the Kenny Chesney concert in Auburn AL!

I needed this little 'getaway' for many reasons and it didn't … [Read more...]
Front Porch for Spring
April 21, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hello, Thursday! This week is flying right by, isn't it? We've been blessed with some great weather this week, but unfortunately the pollen is still a factor so I haven't made much progress on outdoor projects. I DID get some weeding and cleaning up of the flower beds done though. :) And we've set out our hummingbird feeder -- it's early for them, but who knows? What I REALLY want to tackle though is our front porch and back deck... we … [Read more...]

But today I wanted to share my booth refresh that I … [Read more...]

April 15, 2016 by · 1 Comment
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...]
