Whew -- what an amazing weekend I had in NYC with my BFF. If you follow me on Instagram you got a few peeks at what we were up to. :) Fun times... I'll give you the details in a later post, but for today I'm digging out from under a pile of mail, emails, and laundry. You know -- the post-trip drill in a busy household. But I'd love for you to take a look at a quick outdoor project I did last week... a container herb garden! I'm … [Read more...]

Ours looks like a wash out for outdoor fun, so we'll be having dinner with friends indoors later on... That's okay, though... we'll still be thanking God for our blessings and our troops for protecting our freedoms. Hope you have a safe and blessed Fourth! … [Read more...]
A Little Housekeeping & Outdoor Living Inspiration
June 12, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Hey there... anyone else tend to let the housekeeping go during busy times?? Please tell me I'm not alone... My default when things are hectic are go into management mode -- i.e. doing the bare minimum to keep things running. So when things slow down a bit I'm faced with a mountain of housekeeping. Filing, sorting, organizing, purging, cleaning. Ugh. It's so -- "un-vacation-y". Such is my world right now... but I did put my blinders … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :) So today I'm sharing some "happies" -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night! What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]
Lake Living {Friday Eye Candy}
May 3, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Last weekend, we were so fortunate to head to the lake and our aunt's cozy home for a quick getaway. I think we were only gone a little more than 24 hours, but it was just the little break in the action we needed. On our way up, we stopped at a farmer's market called Jaemor Farms. I love stopping here during the different seasons and loading up on what's fresh! They've got the most awesome fresh baked breads (we picked up blueberry … [Read more...]

Happy Monday, y'all! We enjoyed a soggy weekend at the lake, but it was still pretty amazing and I got some seriously good sleep... something about the mountain air and being on the water, I'm thinking. :) I took some pics and will share with you later this week... including a new book I'm reading that I can't put down! Stay tuned... I'm so pleased today to welcome Green Acres Outdoor Living as a sponsor here at D&M! I'm especially … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Threshold Thursday

Hey there, friends... I had every intention of posting more guest room progress this week, but... Ah the joys of high school sports! Your weekday evenings are not your own. :) Truthfully, though, it's been a blast watching him work so hard, improve his skills, have some fun and finish their season undefeated (My boy scored the final goal!). And not only do we have a team of good players (REALLY good players), we also have a … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! And Happy March to you! Today I'm sharing a super easy project. My favorite project from my Silent Auction home decor array is this planter. It just makes me happy. It's friendly.

No rocket science involved. :) Since I was using what I … [Read more...]
Spring Decor Silent Auction Item (Meeting My No Spend Challenge)
February 27, 2013 by · 8 Comments
My youngest son is fundraising for an upcoming pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal with his church youth group. This is my third pilgrimage in the last five years, so I'm experiencing a little fundraising burnout. Nonetheless, when they decided to do a silent auction and wine tasting this spring to help top off their funds, I agreed to contribute something for the auction, of course. The hubs and I will be on our Caribbean junket at the time of … [Read more...]
