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...]
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...]
In Case You Missed it: October
November 3, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Oh my goodness. November, y'all. Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway. The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season. So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week! I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October. Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]
#Wordsmatter: HOPE
October 20, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Ah finally -- a weekend that, in spite of being somewhat busy, was refreshing. And I needed refreshment. And some time to reflect on the week and this journey that I'm on -- getting healthy and re-evaluating. As I've raised my children and taught many others, one of the things I have said over and over is that words matter. Words can lift up and encourage and validate another. And words can also tear down, poison, and crush another. In … [Read more...]
DIY Wood Pallet Projects {Inspiration Galore!}
October 1, 2014 by · 6 Comments
OCTOBER!! I can't even ... what the heck happened to September?! Oh my... We're still having 80+ degree days here, but the mornings are cooler and the humidity not quite so high, so I know fall is creeping in. I'm ready! I've got a list of projects I want to do a mile long and not enough hours in the day, but it's fun to gather inspiration for when I DO have time to immerse in a good DIY. I'm so fortunate to know so many talented DIY … [Read more...]
Thoughts for 9/12

Hello, friends... Tomorrow I'll be beach-bound with a bunch of teenagers for a few days (Fall Break), so today is a flurry of wrapping up the week and getting my act together. If that's possible. :) Yesterday we all remembered the attacks of September 11th and honored those who lost their lives. Hopefully we all remembered the days AFTER the attack, too -- those days of pulling together, helping our neighbor, digging deep for comfort and … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {August}
September 8, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Well, the weekend flew by, didn't it?! I enjoyed some furniture painting and a little bit of crafting, but mostly got a few things ticked off my to-do list. And added some more to it! I realize it's already 8 days into September, but I thought I'd go ahead and recap August here before I got too much further behind. :) It seemed August was a month of updates, like my back deck... and my guest room. I also shared a couple of … [Read more...]
Weekend Recap {Good Stuff}
September 2, 2014 by · 2 Comments
I had no idea what to expect on our trip to Jacksonville. I think my husband and I both had some anxiety, having not seen our son in many months. But what I took away was far more than I ever dreamed. I wasn't prepared for his clear-eyed grounded presence. Or for his glow of good health and sober living. Or for the words we heard from others about him... words like we heard from his boss: I have a little boy and I hope he turns out half … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Wednesday (and a Personal Note)
August 27, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Hi gang! Hope your week is going well! I just wanted to pop in and share a few things... I was working on an article for Mohawk Homescapes blog and ran across this image... source I mean -- y'all. I don't normally fall for black framed mirrors, but holy smokes!! And I love the way it's hung on all that beautiful molding. And those gray chevron ottomans with nailhead trim don't look terrible either. :) Do you ever find an image that … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist… Black Frame Windows
August 6, 2014 by · 6 Comments
One of the "perks" of being laid up with a foot injury for the past weeks is watching endless hours of HGTV. I mean, ask me what marathon is on today and I promise I can tell ya. :) Anyhoo, I was so excited for the new show "Genevieve's Renovation", where she (Genevieve Gorder) renovates her NYC apartment. I was NOT excited that it aired at 11 pm, though, so I now have all the episodes on my DVR. #winning As I was watching my own … [Read more...]
