Monday already? Oh did I have a fun and full weekend decking my halls... the inside of my home is still in process, but the porch? Done! I'm not sure why I wanted to put more creativity into it this year. Maybe because we'll be traveling some over Christmas and I'm simplifying my inside decorations? Anyway, after gathering some inspiration, here's where I landed... Come on up! I usually have small trees in these urns, but decided … [Read more...]
DIY Joy Banner
December 5, 2014 by · 2 Comments
There's just something about the word "joy", don't you think? Three simple letters that can flood your heart and soul with the warm fuzzies. I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities. Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]
Christmas on the Front Porch {Inspiration}
December 3, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Hey there! Hope y'all are having a good week and getting your ho-ho-ho in tip top shape! The blogosphere is full of holiday home tours this week (tons of inspiration out there!!) and I'm still working on decking my halls. True confession -- when you're gone for Thanksgiving every year (which we are) it's hard to get a head start on full blown Christmas decorating. So I always feel a little behind, but I honestly don't stress. My halls will … [Read more...]

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...]

Hey there and TGIF!!! Whew. I had quite the week in my classroom, but I'll save all those thoughts for another time. Today I'm jetting off to The Big Easy with my BFF for my 25 year reunion at Tulane! Woo hoo!! I haven't been to New Orleans since Katrina, so I'm anxious to see how it's changed. AND Tulane has a brand new football stadium so we've got some fun in store this weekend. You may or may not see some shenanigans on Instagram. … [Read more...]

Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!? Happy Friday, y'all! Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta. What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor. Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company. If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website. … [Read more...]
A Peek at My Booth…

Hi everyone! I hope you all took the time to get out and VOTE yesterday! Here in ATL, our schools were closed for the day so I got a bonus day at home to get some things done after voting... and if you follow me on Instagram, you saw I ended up shoe shopping, too. Oops. ;-) #sorrynotsorry I ended up with some to. die. for. smokey taupe wedges. Thank goodness for a BFF that was available by text to seal the deal. :) And how did we ever shop … [Read more...]
An Easy {Free!} Patriotic Watercolor
July 3, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Somehow I've misplaced my adorable Burlap Flag banner that I made last year, so I needed to come up with a quick 4th of July touch for my mantel. Waterlogue to the rescue! Surely you've heard of Waterlogue by now... I haven't used it in a while, but this was the perfect easy peasy solution to my needs. A few weeks ago, I snapped this photo while we were up at the lake... Since it was on my phone, I ran it through the Waterlogue app … [Read more...]
January Recap {In Case You Missed It}
February 3, 2014 by · 3 Comments
February?? Wow... not sure how that happened. For a month that's supposed be of the "slowing down" sort that I love, January sure sped by. We had such an enjoyable weekend and I cooked up a storm for our little Super Bowl party yesterday. Got a new crock pot recipe to share soon, so stay tuned! I was looking back at my posts last month and while there were definitely projects, there was lots of "other"... thoughts, goals, reads. That's my … [Read more...]
Christmas Home Tour 2013
December 23, 2013 by · 5 Comments
Greetings, friends! I'm here to share (at long last) my home tour of Christmas decor. I had every intention of sharing this with you much sooner, along with a couple of easy projects, but God had other plans for me. He found numerous ways to remind me that the season is not about the perfectly decorated front porch or the home that's completely pulled together for the holidays. I shared a little of this over on Fancy Little Things on … [Read more...]
