We had a soggy weekend here... Not a total washout, but my hopes of getting poolside were dashed by the to do list and off and on storms and showers. The upside? I got my DIY back on and finished a book. Among other productive things like back to school stuff and getting the college kids somewhat situated. So today's a great day to share some snippets of what's going on... I just finished Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews. She's become one … [Read more...]
Haven Interrupted

Well THAT didn't go the way I wanted it to! If you follow me on Instagram, you already know the story... Thursday night I enjoyed the Haven Welcome reception and picked up my SWAG! Y'all... I'll show you a pic of all the goodies once I unpack it. But just know the Haven team does a stellar job of finding the best sponsors that make sure we all have fantastic "party favors". Stuffed with goodies was this bag! Friday was the first … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Thursday

Well, I unintentionally went MIA for a week! There was lots of doings but I couldn't quite sit down to share until now... hope you don't mind! Last week, I was consumed with doing something I have never ever done. At least not for myself. I bought a car. My 14 year old Expedition is on it's last legs, and after about two years of knowing this day was coming, it was time to make a change. And I agonized. Y'all. I did research and drove … [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...]

A Little Happy for Your Friday
May 9, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Confession: This week has kicked me in the booty. Lots of good mixed in with the not-so-good/stressful, but just A-LOT. I know you know how I feel... it's May, afterall. And as a mom AND a teacher, I get it going and coming. On Monday, I'll share some pics of what my house looks like right now. I have to put the blinders on to walk out the door and so I will, and I will try not to think about the disarray until I walk back in the door. … [Read more...]

My school year is rapidly drawing to a close (how did THAT happen??!) and soon I'll be welcoming both the college one and our oldest back into the fold -- busy times afoot around here! And I lost a little ground battling that nasty head cold last week and through much of my weekend. Hence, this post. :) During my latest thrifting adventure, I stumbled on these old alphabet flash cards. A couple of the cards were missing, but I thought … [Read more...]

April 22, 2014 by · 6 Comments
Howdy - hoo, Tuesday! I'm battling another (hopefully LAST) head cold of the school year, so I didn't get this up yesterday. Boo. Oh well... I hope you all had a blessed Easter Sunday! I spent the weekend with friends and my peeps and while I'm sick again, my soul got recharged in a big way. #loveitwhenthathappens I just love discovering new sites, especially of the decor variety. :) A few weeks ago I stumbled upon Dot and Bo and decided … [Read more...]
