Happy Friday, y'all! The hubs and I are headed to Pensacola for the Blue Angels this weekend and I can't wait. I've been itching to get to the coast and this particular weekend is always a great time. I had a busy week this week -- busy in a good way with projects and planning projects and just kinda catching up around the house. Nice, right? And it's time for 5 fun and random things... 1. Summer sales. Y'all. Those 4th of July sales … [Read more...]
Five on Friday (and my Winter Mantel)
January 16, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Friday, y'all... and I am so thankful. This was another week of meetings and prayer as my precious school is being put through the ringer. I can't go into all the details yet, but let me just say: Satan is alive and well. I have never experienced spiritual warfare before, but I'm enduring it now. So if my posts are a bit scarce for a while it is because I am drained. BUT, I am optimistic and continue praying and seeking joy in my … [Read more...]
It Was an Insta-Christmas!

Whew!! What an amazing week we had with my family in Texas! Our travel out there was rocky (to say the least), but once we got there it was a lovely relaxing time with some of my favorite people. If you followed along on Instagram, I apologize for the duplicate pics, but there's a few new ones in here, too! And there are a few photos I've saved for our New Years cards so I'll share those soon. Yes, I decided to send NY cards this year, … [Read more...]
Five on Friday {Teacher Gift Edition}
December 12, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Hi y'all! Woo hoo and TGIF! The hubs and I are headed to the lake to celebrate his birthday with friends this weekend and not a moment too soon. While my to-do list still looms (wrapping, shipping, last minute shopping), God knew he and I needed time in a serene place this weekend. Lots of non-holiday stress has been creeping in and I think a little time in front of a roaring fire with good friends and good food is just what the doctor … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (November)
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...]
Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)
November 28, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hello there!! Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday? Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-) And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!). We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]
A Whole30 Update and a Little Christmas Eye Candy
November 14, 2014 by · 5 Comments
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...]
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...]
This ‘n That Wednesday (and a Personal Note)

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...]
Smile! It’s a Guest Room Update
August 15, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hello, friends and TGIF! I'm soooo ready to end this week... it's been a challenging one in every way. So to give you(and me!) a little Friday "happy" I'm sharing a teensy little guest room update... one that brings a smile to my face every time I walk by this space! I was in HomeGoods a few weeks ago and spotted not one, but TWO of these adorable "smile" pillows! I knew right away I had to have them for my guest room beds... and the … [Read more...]
