Greetings, friends! Thanks so much for your kinds words of encouragement on my personal goals post last week. I'm always a little skiddish about putting them out there, but -- accountability, folks! The last couple of weeks got busy with prepping for and opening registration for next school year (can you believe it??). I spent MLK Day purging kitchen cabinets and my cookbooks -- does anybody hold onto cookbooks anymore? While I only … [Read more...]
Personal Goals for 2017: Let’s Do This!
January 9, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Greetings, friends! Anyone else limping back into reality last week?? I had a college kiddo still home until yesterday so even though I'm back at work, I'm having a hard time finding routine. Oh well, it will come, I'm sure! I spent some time over the break thinking about my personal goals for the coming year. It's going to be another year of big changes so any hopes of status quo or coasting have gone out the window. While I could … [Read more...]

January 7, 2017 by · 1 Comment
TGIF, friends! It's been a challenge getting back into the swing this week and now SNOW is on the way! Of course, here in ATL, it could end up being nothing, but I hit the grocery store yesterday afternoon for a few staples (and extras!) yesterday, just in case. Anyhoo, I know we're six days into 2017 now, but I thought for our first Five on Friday for the year it would be fun to share my favorites from 2016... 1. Favorite project. 2016 … [Read more...]

Happy New Year and Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a festive and fun New Years, even if it involved yoga pants and cups of tea. I managed to make it til midnight and then spent all day on the couch yesterday. It was a cold and rainy day, perfect for enjoying the fire in comfort. :) Today is the last day of the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, and so I felt I'd be remiss if I didn't share some of the great deals they've got for the … [Read more...]
2016: Highlights and Lowlights
December 31, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Where to begin? Now that I'm finally catching my breath a bit, it seemed like a good time to reflect on 2016 before turning the page to the new year... and I'm READY to turn the page! 2016 was the year of change around here... One of the biggest was opening our preschool after quite the journey. This time last year I was in the midst of sharing our Legacy Story here on the blog. But within a month or so, when Legacy was registering … [Read more...]

Holiday Bits and Pieces

Greetings, friends! I hope you're enjoying this Christmas week... it is always one of my favorite times. The hub bub has died down and I can regroup, rest up, watch football and get organized for the new year. How about you? I need it more this year than ever. 2016 just about plowed me under -- so. much. happening. And while I make a point of choosing joy on a regular basis -- and there was plenty of that! -- there have also been some … [Read more...]

I had every intention of posting all kinds of things Christmas and holiday this month, but life and Legacy got in the way. As it is, I am skidding into this weekend with my "to do's" barely finished but determined to slow it down and soak in the real reason for the season with my peeps. So since I shortchanged you on Christmas posts, I decided to pop in today with heartfelt Christmas wishes and some snapshots of Christmas around my … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! We're up at the lake celebrating the hubs' birthday with a crowd of friends this weekend, so a good chunk of my week was spent meal-planning and coordinating. Alas, my holiday decorating has suffered because of it, but first things first! During all these preparations, I thought a fun Five on Friday would be recipes -- because you know we're all cooking over the holidays! So this is a small collection of recipes I have either … [Read more...]

Howdy! We're in the midst of my favorite time of year -- all Christmas preparations. Am I nuts?? Maybe... but I love the process of decorating, finishing up shopping, addressing cards, wrapping gifts, making treats to share. I spent the weekend cleaning, organizing, and decorating, so I'm close to sharing some of my holiday decor with you. :) But I've also been BLOWN AWAY by some of the most gorgeous inspiration I've found online this year … [Read more...]
