Happy Friday, friends! I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :) So today I'm sharing some "happies" -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night! What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]
Endings

Hello, gang! I'm so chock full of emotions these days, I can't even find words right now. Those of you that have had crazy times of endings know what I'm saying... My guests have begun arriving, the party prep is ongoing, and tomorrow, this handsome guy will close out a chapter in his life (where did the time go???). I also said "goodbye" to my Little Ones yesterday, after a crazy gratifying emotional roller coaster of a day with … [Read more...]
Celebrating our Moms {Preschool Moms’ Tea}
May 10, 2013 by · 9 Comments
I'm still alive, with a nasty head cold to show for my crazy week. But yesterday was a sweet and special day at the preschool, when we hosted our moms for our annual Moms' Tea. It was simple fare of cupcakes, tea, and coffee, but they enjoyed taking it all in. The brown books are scrapbooks of art projects from the school year -- one for each month -- plus a couple of sweet little Q & As … [Read more...]
Lake Living {Friday Eye Candy}
May 3, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Last weekend, we were so fortunate to head to the lake and our aunt's cozy home for a quick getaway. I think we were only gone a little more than 24 hours, but it was just the little break in the action we needed. On our way up, we stopped at a farmer's market called Jaemor Farms. I love stopping here during the different seasons and loading up on what's fresh! They've got the most awesome fresh baked breads (we picked up blueberry … [Read more...]

Hey there, friends... I had every intention of posting more guest room progress this week, but... Ah the joys of high school sports! Your weekday evenings are not your own. :) Truthfully, though, it's been a blast watching him work so hard, improve his skills, have some fun and finish their season undefeated (My boy scored the final goal!). And not only do we have a team of good players (REALLY good players), we also have a … [Read more...]

Guest Room Update and a Spring Break Recap
April 12, 2013 by · 7 Comments
I always underestimate the amount of time it takes to paint a room! I tend to conveniently forget how much time it takes to spackle holes, sand rough places, touch up and/or tape off trim... you know -- the prep work. Ugh. And let's just say that prepping what was a formerly teenage space for painting is no picnic. I won't get into details, but let's just say evidence of pocket knife abuse was discovered, along with an overloaded wall shelf … [Read more...]
Thoughts: Mary on the Day After
March 30, 2013 by · 8 Comments
An unusual post, since I don't normally post on the weekends, but this weekend is special... tomorrow is the beginning of the story with the discovery of the empty tomb. But what about the day in between? In between that awful day when He was hung upon the cross and the day He rose? Two years ago I penned a post on my personal and family blog about just that, and I thought I would share those thoughts with you today... That was her … [Read more...]
2013…The Word?
January 4, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Hello everyone and Happy 2013! We're back from the beach and I'm digging out from under Christmas decorations, new calendars, bills awaiting, and laundry. Ah, re-entry. I'll be catching up on my email and blog reading this weekend, so if I've neglected your comments or recent posts, I apologize. I was under-the-weather a good part of our trip and didn't read as much as I'd thought I would -- lots of sleeping in, chillin' in Gulf breezes, and … [Read more...]
NYC at Christmastime
December 31, 2012 by · 7 Comments
Hi there! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love! My family has scattered and the hubs and I are enjoying some (much needed) R & R at the beach for New Year's. I can't wait to share some photos of our adventurous Christmas soon! But as we head into the New Year, I thought I would share some from my trip to NYC with my daughter. The trip started as a reward for all her hard work, but turned into a rockin' … [Read more...]
