Weekend Project: Get Holiday-Ready
November 19, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
I don't usually post on Saturdays, but I thought this would be helpful for the onset of the holiday week. I feel like we've either been out-of-town or hosting guests the last several weekends (not entirely true but it feels that way!). And this year, I managed to be a bit proactive as far as getting my home ready for the holidays. #wondersnevercease So with Thanksgiving looming less than a week away, I thought I share a few quick things I did … [Read more...]

Inspiring Thanksgiving Table Decor
November 25, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
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...]

Howdy! The 4th of July sneaked up on me this year! Today I'm refreshing my front porch and enjoying some Wimbeldon and then will head to the pool if these thunderstorms let up. And plan our eats for tomorrow's celebration. :) But I thought I'd round up some patriotic posts to share with y'all today, just in case you're in need of some inspiration. I'll be making these cookie bites tomorrow morning... they're our favorite sweet treat … [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...]

*Update: this post was set to go out yesterday, but my server went down unexpectedly... so now we're all the way to Thursday! Oh well... :) Wednesday already and Easter is almost upon us. In our home that means BRUNCH! You probably already know this, but I have experience feeding crowds and Easter has become one of my favorite holiday brunch occasions. Maybe it's that spring has *usually* sprung (don't ask me about that cold front that … [Read more...]
Set the Table for a Christmas Coffee (and a Rug Giveaway!)
December 5, 2013 by · 5 Comments
Much as I enjoy a festive evening party, one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season with close friends is a Christmas Coffee. I used to do this in conjunction with my Willow House business, but the simple formula works even better for a cozy get-together with a close pal or two. And ever since I spotted some adorable Christmas plates and mugs at Tuesday Morning, I've been itching to pull together a Christmas Coffee tablescape to share with … [Read more...]
