Y'all. What a great - busy fun - weekend we had! Some long time friends came in town and the girls spent Saturday taking in the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain! Let me just say, if you ever get the chance to take this in... DO IT! We were blessed with a beautiful day and were amazed at the scope of this event! If this tower of pumpkins and gourds doesn't put you in the fall spirit, I don't know what will! If you … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Tuesday
I have re-entry issues. :) When I travel on the weekends, Mondays are always a challenge -- laundry, grocery shopping, mail, email, and... oh yeah -- work! Yikes! Last weekend was totally worth it, though. If you follow me on Instagram, you got some peeks at our fun at the Auburn v. Texas A&M game and time with my family. I'll be sharing some more photos later this week when I get them off my camera (!), but suffice to say it was an … [Read more...]
Tasty Tailgate Treat: Baked Artichoke Dip
First of all, Y'ALL ROCK. SERIOUSLY. Our (in)Mercy Classroom Addition was fully funded by 3:30 yesterday afternoon. God is good and His mercy showed through each and every one of you that contributed in some way to this project. Look at these faces... these girls who will have opportunities anew now. I'm seriously in awe and so humbled to have shared the need and the story! There is more work to do for Mercy House … [Read more...]
(in)Mercy Phase 2 {And My Kenyan Connection}
Happy Monday and what a blessed way to start the week! I enjoyed time with friends and my kids this weekend -- and even squeezed in a much-needed nap. :) And there's a spring in my step and in my fingers as I type this because....Phase 2 of (in)Mercy is officially underway, as of today! Did you watch the video about the beginnings of Mercy House? We, in our comfortable homes behind our computer screens, probably have a hard time wrapping … [Read more...]
Making it Count
The beauty of having a blog -- and especially a blog as small as mine -- is that it's my space and I can write whatever I want. Granted, you might not read it if you're looking for something else that day. But I can still write it. And when I named my blog "Decor & More" I deliberately left myself that option. To write about "more" sometimes. Today is one of those days. I've made no secret of the fact that I've been … [Read more...]
Diamond Candles {A Girl’s Best Friend} & a GIVEAWAY!
The past few months have been conflict-ridden and tough tests driven. I'm really not so great at taking time to pamper myself in little ways when things are crazy and stressful. But I'm trying to get better about that... and I'm learning that sometimes it's exactly the little things that make me feel better. So when I was contacted by Katelynn at Diamond Candles about doing a product review and giveaway, I was immediately drawn to the idea. … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (July)
This is just shameful. Past the mid-point of August and I'm just now reviewing July??? Welcome to my chaos, friends! :-) I have to confess, though, that the past weeks of back-to-school nuttiness has me pondering a new project here on the blog. Details to come soon! Thank you for all the kind comments about my daughter's "new" furniture, too -- always love a good furniture redemption! Anyway, I looked back at July and it was full of good … [Read more...]
