I'm back today with a fun Five on Friday to help us ring in the New Year -- some festive champagne drinks for your celebration! I've been on the couch most of the week with my *annual* holiday head cold, but I'm looking forward to sipping one of these tomorrow evening during our own little New Years Eve celebration. So because I know you probably have a healthy to-do list for today I'll get right to it... 1. Christmas Champagne Cocktail. … [Read more...]
Country Living Fair Bound!
October 21, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
Happy Friday, friends... it's been a busy week and I'm headed to the fair today -- the Country Living Fair, that is! I'm so excited to get some inspiration and hopefully get a head start on some holiday shopping! Last year I scored quite a few unique things so I have high hopes for this year as well. I've made some more progress on my porch, so hopefully will be ready to share that soon. I've taken the pressure off though because I know the … [Read more...]
Helllloooooo, Summer!
June 2, 2016 by · 1 Comment
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...]
Five on Friday: Favorite Super Bowl Eats
February 5, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Remember the days when the Super Bowl was played in January? Not sure why that crossed my mind recently, but it did! In our house the Super Bowl is sort of the last hurrah of football season and marks the beginning of a dearth of sports viewing pleasure... until Opening Day for baseball. Unless you count some exciting March Madness games. You can see where our priorities lay around here #housefullofboys. So Super Bowl 50 is upon us and … [Read more...]

It's almost here! We're on the road today, headed for my in-laws' to celebrate a quick Thanksgiving... it's no small feat to gather 4 20-somethings and a teenager with work/school schedules but we managed! I think we'll all be together for about 3 hours before some have to head out (and others are arriving last minute) but we'll take it. My mother-in-law hosts Thanksgiving every year... it's kind of her "thing" and so we make the drive … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (November)
December 1, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]

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...]
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...]
Feed A Crowd: Taco Night
September 10, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Hey, y'all -- hope you're having a great week so far! We're deep into the school schedule and routine... and guess what comes our way next week??? Fall Break. I know. It's beyond ridiculous! But I'll take that time "off" (are moms ever really "off"?) to hit the beach for a few days with my youngest and some of his friends (yikes!)... And that started me thinking about what to FEED all those boys while we're on vacay? I know I can't … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
