We've been embracing our deck-sitting season as the weather has permitted and I'm so glad I refreshed it before graduation! I spent an entire day pressure washing... it was in dire need! And I'd hoped to get a fresh coat of stain/sealer down, but we haven't had enough days without rain yet to tackle that. Anyhoo, I decided to go ahead and plant my flowers, lay a new rug and add a bit of temporary seating for the time being. These … [Read more...]

It's that time of year -- that May Madness! We've been on a string of graduation parties and getting the house prepped for our own celebration later today and tomorrow. And now I'm in the throes of a TON of Legacy business (woo hoo!) so it's a nice juggling routine we've got working around here. I can't believe this guy is graduating! And along with that comes all those other graduation announcements... and before you know it … [Read more...]

This has been a busy week and I want to thank you all for your prayers... I have surely felt God's presence and His grace as I've moved through a few situations! I'm so thankful I serve a big God who walks with me, guides me, and shows His grace every day.

Hello, friends ~ I didn't mean to be gone so long! The last couple of weeks have been doozies around here, so I've fallen behind on the old blog.

Hello, friends! I didn't mean to be MIA all week, but I've had some busy days following my beach getaway weekend, and my Lenten discipline of staying offline in the evenings has me running behind a bit. :) I'll discuss more about that next week, but today I wanted to share a super easy DIY for Easter. You probably have everything you need for this right at home! I simply gathered some twigs from my yard, pulled out my garden snips and … [Read more...]

Hi friends! I hope you're enjoying a great week... we've got spring creeping in here and I spent most of last weekend knocking out my painting projects. Confession: that bed was a beast!!

I used Farmhouse Paint in Cotton White... it's a nice crisp white. Not too … [Read more...]
