Good Wednesday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's and President's Day weekend! We're on winter break this week... well, my high school senior is on winter break. :) It's business as usual for the rest of us!

Well, a few days got away from me and here we are into February! Yikes! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I broke away for a girls' weekend at the beach and got the bonus fun of celebrating a dear old friend's 50th birthday at the same time. It was a good time and now it's back to cold/rainy/busy days here at home. :) I've got a list of posts for y'all coming in the next few weeks, but thought I'd flash back to January today, just … [Read more...]

Happy MLK Day, friends... I hope you are off today, snuggled in with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoying yourself! I've been taking advantage of the long weekend in a big way... catching up on Legacy to-do's, working on reorganizing my office, reading, and even sneaking in a nap or two. I'm still kind of low energy after my illness, so I've found I still need a little extra rest. Let's hope it's not habit forming. :) Speaking of when I was … [Read more...]
A Few Fall Touches

I've been home so little recently it feels awesome to be catching up on some things around the house... you shoulda seen the stack of mail/paperwork I plowed through on Monday! I don't know why, but fall always seems to fly by and so I'm working extra hard to savor these couple of weeks of sweet weather and a bit of time to enjoy my house. And probably some furniture painting, too. :) I refreshed the dough bowl on my coffee table with a mix … [Read more...]
