Greetings, friends! I hope you're enjoying this Christmas week... it is always one of my favorite times. The hub bub has died down and I can regroup, rest up, watch football and get organized for the new year. How about you? I need it more this year than ever. 2016 just about plowed me under -- so. much. happening. And while I make a point of choosing joy on a regular basis -- and there was plenty of that! -- there have also been some … [Read more...]

DECEMBER 1!? Yikes! Time to get our game on, y'all, and even though Advent officially began on Sunday, most Advent calendars begin on December 1.

My peeps are all grown and out of the house, but for those of you with kiddos at home, one of these could be a sweet … [Read more...]

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...]
Country Living Fair Finds {Monday Eye Candy}
October 31, 2016 by · 1 Comment
The weekend sure flew by didn't it? I'm back today with a little eye candy for you in the form of my Country Living Fair finds! I was on a tight budget this year, but I picked up several fun gifts/stocking stuffers this year, along with a couple of decor items. For me it's more about the inspiration I collect at the Fair than the purchases, but I was tickled this year with what came home with me. As you can see, lots of small things -- … [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...]

Monday, Monday... that alarm clock was tough to handle this morning and I'm not feeling so hot, but -- onward! I had a full weekend of Country Living Fair, college football, house cleaning, church, and porch decorating and then a Legacy board meeting last night ... whew!

Summertime Mantel Update
June 27, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
Oh my word, was last weekend HOT and BUSY! The hubs and I had some fun together at the Steely Dan/Steve Winwood concert last night and we also celebrated my youngest' 18th birthday. #howdidthathappen We did make some progress on the front porch, but it's not quite ready to share... we ended up in the air conditioning instead. ;-) So I freshened up our mantel for summertime and thought I'd share that today. I wanted a new look this year and … [Read more...]
