Well, we survived the first day of school and my senior is ready to enjoy his last year in high school... I'm still in a state of disbelief that A) school is already back in session and B) my baby will graduate next May. But anyway, on we go, right? The hubs and I also enjoyed a fantastic weekend in Nashville with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, shaking our groove thing to Earth Wind & Fire and Chicago -- such an awesome night! And … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

Well, shoot, if you blinked you missed September! Or so it seemed... I had a really busy month, but was a little light on posts around here.

But here's what I DID share during September, just in case you missed it... My Director's Office makeover Feed a Crowd Taco … [Read more...]

Hey, y'all -- hope you're having a great week so far! We're deep into the school schedule and routine... and guess what comes our way next week??? Fall Break. I know. It's beyond ridiculous! But I'll take that time "off" (are moms ever really "off"?) to hit the beach for a few days with my youngest and some of his friends (yikes!)... And that started me thinking about what to FEED all those boys while we're on vacay? I know I can't … [Read more...]

September 8, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Well, the weekend flew by, didn't it?! I enjoyed some furniture painting and a little bit of crafting, but mostly got a few things ticked off my to-do list. And added some more to it! I realize it's already 8 days into September, but I thought I'd go ahead and recap August here before I got too much further behind. :) It seemed August was a month of updates, like my back deck... and my guest room. I also shared a couple of … [Read more...]
