I don't usually post on Saturdays, but I thought this would be helpful for the onset of the holiday week. I feel like we've either been out-of-town or hosting guests the last several weekends (not entirely true but it feels that way!). And this year, I managed to be a bit proactive as far as getting my home ready for the holidays. #wondersnevercease So with Thanksgiving looming less than a week away, I thought I share a few quick things I did … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (September & October)
November 2, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
I cannot believe it's already November! It seems like time just speeds up from year to year, doesn't it? Well, at least I got back on a semi-regular posting schedule. :) So just in case you've missed something from the last couple of months... I caught you up on my life lately back in September -- which was a whole lotta Legacy and getting my kiddos off and running on new adventures. You wouldn't believe how much those sweet peas in … [Read more...]
A Front Porch Peek!
October 27, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hi friends... I've been under the weather this week (ugh -- who has time for that??) so I'm behind on my front porch progress, of course. But I've done enough that I thought I'd share a peek at it today after all. We've had sunny warm weather so at least it's been pleasant while I'm out there, even if it doesn't feel particularly fall-like. I think the kiddos will be trick or treating in shorts this weekend! Remember that I spray … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Loving, and Working On…(and a Winner!)

Thank you to those that entered my Country Living Fair giveaway! I've put the lucky winner at the bottom of this post... October is already flying by, isn't it? I feel like I'm already running from one thing to another, don't you? I have to say, though, October is one of my favorite months of the year with so many festive events, the gorgeous shift to fall weather and that teensy window of time to just enjoy before the madness of the … [Read more...]
Front Porch Update
June 29, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Hi gang - as promised, I've made some more progress on the front porch, so I wanted to bring y'all into the loop! It's not 100 percent finished, but it's darn close! Here's our inspiration photo... And here's where we started... The biggest change we made was adding these beauties... They were on sale at Hayneedle right before our anniversary, so we decided to bite the bullet and go for it! The hubs was able to assemble … [Read more...]
Refreshing the Back Deck
June 8, 2016 by · 3 Comments
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...]
The Front Porch Plan
April 28, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
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. Today I want to share my plan for the front porch... it's been QUITE a while since there's been a major overhaul (normally it's just fresh plants/pillows) and I'm itching to do that this … [Read more...]

Hello, friends and happy Monday to you! I hope y'all had a great weekend. If you follow me on Instagram or we're friends on Facebook, you probably saw the fun time we had at the Kenny Chesney concert in Auburn AL! So fun on so many levels -- great friends, a beautiful day, a sweet ride over and back, and some AMAZING music in a happy place. Here's a few peeks... I needed this little 'getaway' for many reasons and it didn't … [Read more...]
Front Porch for Spring
April 21, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hello, Thursday! This week is flying right by, isn't it? We've been blessed with some great weather this week, but unfortunately the pollen is still a factor so I haven't made much progress on outdoor projects. I DID get some weeding and cleaning up of the flower beds done though. :) And we've set out our hummingbird feeder -- it's early for them, but who knows? What I REALLY want to tackle though is our front porch and back deck... we … [Read more...]
Project Sneak Peeks and a Note About Legacy
March 10, 2016 by · 5 Comments
Good Thursday to you, friends! Popping back in today with a couple of painting projects I've been working on this week. The weather has been perfect to get a few things done so that's been my focus. But first, I wanted to share a note about Legacy with you. As I've been writing that story out, it's been very healing for me and helpful in terms of processing what happened. If you've been following along, you might already realize that … [Read more...]
