Can you believe April has come and almost gone? Time just keeps ticking away... I confess I'm looking forward to the end of school for myself and my kids (though I will miss my Little Ones terribly!). We're ready for some down time around here! It's been a difficult month for us, but I spent some time over the weekend thinking about all the things I loved about April. A great exercise during hard times... 1. My … [Read more...]
March’s Favorite Things
March 30, 2012 by · 11 Comments
It's so hard for me to believe we're at the end of March (do I sound like a broken record?)! We're entering that crazy time of year that reeks of madness... the fun kind of course. If you're a mom with kids in school, you might as well tether your calendar to your waist and fire up the checkbook. It's year-end this and year-end that headed your way before you know it. :) I've got some AWESOME favorites from March, so rather than wait until … [Read more...]
February Favorites

Well, gang, my laptop has decided to crash and burn this week, so my posts won't be quite what I'd hoped! But never fear, I've got my faves today and then a special Happy Blogiversary to me post on Friday! Yep, March is my two year anniversary of blogging AND my five year anniversary with Willow House (formerly Southern Living at HOME) AND my 45th birthday. It's a month to party for sure, and I have a thing or two up my sleeve for you, my … [Read more...]
This ‘n That and January Favorites
February 1, 2012 by · 4 Comments
Confession: I'm a little sad to see January go. No, I'm not crazy, I promise! I know many struggle with post-holiday let-down, gray days, cold weather, etc. But as my family has grown and gotten busier, I've come to relish the down time that January represents. It's a time to regroup, clean out your files and closets, eat a little better, sleep a little more, spend a little more quiet time with loved ones and a good book. January is fresh … [Read more...]
2011… And a Look Ahead!
December 31, 2011 by · 6 Comments
Ever find yourself ready to move on by the end of the year? After some extensive travelling this holiday week, I find myself ready to BRING it in 2012! I'm spending today digging through mail (and email), watching some football, and cooking up a storm for my houseful and our celebration tonight. I'm also hoping for some quiet moments to reflect on all I've learned this past year, where I want to go in 2012, both personally and here in this … [Read more...]
November’s Favorites {on December 1}
December 1, 2011 by ·
So this is how it goes, gang! I had grandiose notions of sharing my holiday decorating progress and projects this week, but 8th grade Advanced Content Science and Math and AP US History have taken over my household, my time, and a fair amount of energy, too. Geez-- the push for the end of semester grades is brutal, complete with pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth. I'm kidding of course, but that's not terribly far from the truth! So, … [Read more...]
October’s Favorite Things
October 31, 2011 by · 2 Comments
October is one of my favorite months of the year. It's hard to believe it's already behind us... or it will be once the Halloween candy is distributed to the little ghosts and goblins and the lights in the jack o'lanterns are snuffed out. I've had a busy month here at Decor & More and I'm ever so appreciative of you, my readers, for coming along for the ride! And before I launch into my Favorite Things for one of my favorite months, … [Read more...]
September’s Favorite Things
September 30, 2011 by · 1 Comment
I can't believe today is the last day of September. Seems like I was just taking off for Labor Day weekend a couple of days ago. Daylight Savings Time, fall festivals, and Halloween are right around the corner. Do you know that my preschool team has already had our meeting for November projects? Yikes!October will be a big month here at Show Some Decor. I'll share more along the way, but suffice to say, my creative … [Read more...]
A Few Favorite Things {August}
August 31, 2011 by · 2 Comments
Can you believe today's the last day of August? I am still in a bit of a fog from getting my daughter off to school, getting the boys back into their routines, and getting myself back into the teaching groove... and here is September upon us! I have to confess, I am now ready for some cooler weather, breezy days, and changing colors-- or at least I will be after this Labor Day trip to the beach. :)Thanks for sticking with me … [Read more...]
July’s Favorite Things {Day Late and Dollar Short}
August 5, 2011 by · 3 Comments
Good grief, friends, I am STILL catching up after our "mac daddy" road trip to Texas! We travelled 2700 miles in 10 days, squeezing in visiting and some fun among 46 hours in the car and not a lot of sleep. Once we got home, I was immediately immersed in shopping and packing my daughter for college, shuttling to football practices, doctor's appointments, summer reading, and prepping to get back to teaching. Ok, so those are my … [Read more...]
