So sorry for the radio silence. Oh my, y'all. If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you might know I was at the beach last weekend for a girls' trip... where I was brought down by a nasty stomach bug inflicted upon me by my preschoolers. Ugh. I want a DO OVER! Anyway, I'm back in the land of the living and the petri dish I call a work place... just a tad behind on anything and everything. Sound familiar? :) Our spring schedule is … [Read more...]
Changes in the Family Room
November 22, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Did you think I'd disappeared? Me, too... Y'all. Sick. as. a. dog. Too much travel, not enough sleep, and surrounded by runny noses and coughs equals bad news. But I did want to pop in today and show you something that makes me (and my family of sensitive bare-footers) quite happy... I went for it. A new rug for the family room to replace that scratchy uncomfortable uncooperative faux sisal disaster. And ... a bold … [Read more...]
October Thoughts and September in Review
October 2, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Ah, at last... October! Cooler days, chilly evenings, the ever-so-slow turning of the leaves here in the South... I am so ready for the pause that is October. August and September are the hectic back-to-school scurry and adjustments. November is the steady uptick in the schedule and way-too-soon holiday prep. But October? Maybe because August and September have left me wrung out and a bit broken, but October feels like a chance to … [Read more...]
DIY Monogram Photo Collage

I had one of those fun "mom" moments over the weekend when my college girl Erin sent me a pic of her latest craft project for her apartment. I guess that apple didn't fall far from the tree! I loved it so much, I thought I'd share it with you all (with her permission, of course!). It all started with this... We were so lucky to attend a book signing by Mary Kay Andrews in June and it was held at Kudzu Antiques, a fun spot to shop, … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (July)

This is just shameful. Past the mid-point of August and I'm just now reviewing July??? Welcome to my chaos, friends! :-) I have to confess, though, that the past weeks of back-to-school nuttiness has me pondering a new project here on the blog. Details to come soon! Thank you for all the kind comments about my daughter's "new" furniture, too -- always love a good furniture redemption! Anyway, I looked back at July and it was full of good … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! Whew, what a week! I know I promised a giveaway today, but I've decided to wait a bit to announce it... you see, Decor & More is getting a little work done. :-D Can you see how big I'm smiling?? I'm so excited about the fresh new look coming our way! So because the site might be down a bit here and there for the next few days, it's not the best time to do a giveaway. It's coming soon, I promise, though. … [Read more...]
It’s the Little Things (and NYC Recap)
July 20, 2013 by · 3 Comments
The weekend already? Jeez, time flies in the summertime... Thursday I journeyed down IKEA with my daughter to do some apartment shopping for her. That place never ceases to amaze me, and I shopped IKEA in Northern Virginia back in 1989 for MY first apartment! It was pretty cool then and it's even more so now... so of course I picked up a few little things for me, too. :) Like this $4 pillow cover for an insert I already … [Read more...]

Well, I survived the send-off... Even big brother took his lunch hour to say bon voyage... And big sister got extra tight squeezes... Hope Spain and Portugal are ready for this group!! Only a few tears on my end and extra tight hugs on his end. Thank you so much for your prayers as he embarks on this amazing journey to grow his faith. As for me, I'm headed to one of my favorite places... to hang with … [Read more...]
Ten Things Tuesday…
June 18, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Y'all I am scattered, smothered, and covered. Maybe it's all the short trips out of town on the heels of a crazy month of May. Maybe it's just summertime with a houseful. Maybe I just can't get my act together. When I sat down to write a post for y'all, my brain was all over the place. So I decided to take you down the rabbit hole of my thoughts... 1. I want a vegetable garden. Not sure I want all the work that comes with one, … [Read more...]
DIY Burlap Flag Bunting

Good morning, friends! I actually had a fairly relaxing weekend and am ready to enjoy another busy week -- how about you? I spent time with my kids and a sweet neighbor poolside, got workouts in both days, enjoyed catching up on some reading and blogs, and worked on finishing up the console table. Last night we took in two kids for the night while their parents finished up moving out of their house and into an executive apartment while they … [Read more...]
