Happy New Year, friends and readers! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are entering this new year -- and decade -- with a clear vision and focus on your goals! I spent some time mulling over my Word of the Year, considering last year's WOTY and how it applied, and thinking through some goals I'd like to articulate. Truth be told, progress on all of that was a little stilted due to some unexpected family things, so I'm still … [Read more...]
A Very Merry Christmas to You
December 23, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Greetings to you, dear friends! I am wrapping up what has been one my busiest work seasons yet... and am SO looking forward to a bit of downtime over the next couple of weeks. All the gifts are finally wrapped and ready, the Christmas cards will get posted today, and after a meeting this afternoon, I will be in full blown holiday mode with family. I had grand plans to do more writing here this fall, but a precious little school called Legacy … [Read more...]
What I Learned This Month: June
July 5, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Hi friends! I'm enjoying some out-of-town time with the hubs and some dear friends this week, celebrating the 4th. It's HOT HOT HOT, but we're immersing ourselves in a spring-fed "creek"... if you follow me on Instagram you know of what I speak! I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull this post together, as I wasn't particularly intentional about taking note of things I learned last month. But after mulling it over, some things swam to the … [Read more...]
Five on Friday

Happy Friday, everyone! We had such a great week at Legacy summer camp -- lots of great crafts and activities built around our favorite books. We'll do this theme again, as everyone (kids and teachers!) seemed to LOVE it! We're keeping it light for Five on Friday this week -- just some fun things that have come on my radar in the past week! I'm in need of a new travel cosmetics case, now that I'm at the age of numerous skin care/hair … [Read more...]

Happy First (Official) Day of Summer! Seems only appropriate that it would fall on a Friday, right? I see lots of late night swimming, grilling, and lightning bug catching for many of you this evening. :) I, personally, am celebrating that I managed to get three posts up this week! Let's hope it's a trend... Today I'm resurrecting the Five on Friday posts - a random collection of things that have caught my attention over the past week. … [Read more...]
Hello, Summer!
June 18, 2019 by · 1 Comment
Once again, I didn't mean to be gone so long! The end of the school year got totally away from me, which led to me being brain-dead for a couple of weeks. Then my site needed some server updates so here we are -- halfway through June and a month into my summer "break." So far, it feels a little like a break, but I'm still working every day. The administrative part of running the school and Board of Directors is never ending, actually. … [Read more...]
What I Learned This Month… March
April 1, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
I seem to have lost the month of March somewhere... anybody else?? We are finally enjoying some spring-like weather here in ATL (though today will be chilly and cloudy), and the days upon days of rain are hopefully behind us! Since I last posted a lot has gone on -- some good, some not so good, but isn't that the way? We find ourselves once again in a season of change - some good, some not so good. But we persevere and try to be present and … [Read more...]
Currently… January 2019
January 27, 2019 by · 3 Comments
Hello? Is this thing on? :) I had no intention of being away so long... but life happened and so here we are. I've been itching to dust off this space for a while, but was fearful the words wouldn't come. But wouldn't you know that with January came some thoughts and ideas. January is "that month" for me -- a cozy time of reflection and dreaming, resting and re-energizing. There's been a lot of life lived in the last year. I'm quite sure … [Read more...]
Checking In!
June 7, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Greetings, friends! The school year is finished, my house is under contract, and I find myself in this very strange "in between" place. This home-selling thing is not for the faint of heart. We still have to get through the due diligence period (we're close!), so I'm working on that, as well as continuing to pack and think through what is coming with us. Getting the house ready to list was a whirlwind and I have discovered I'm not sure where … [Read more...]
Five on Friday: Turning 50
April 7, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Hi there, friends! I had no intention of being gone so long! But I was hijacked by a surprise 50th birthday celebration AND getaway for several days and have been digging out from under ever since. :) I've had my nose to the grindstone for the last several months and have been reluctant to get away -- I didn't want to spend the money OR take the time away from what's been all-consuming. But apparently my husband and BFF had other ideas. … [Read more...]
