Happy Tuesday, y'all! First of all, I apologize for the wonky repeat post that was delivered yesterday... not sure what happened there since it was originally published in January, but the post is corrected and edited and available HERE. I'd really love to be posting a spring mantel, but the truth is we're having yet another snow day here in Georgia and winter is nowhere near finished with us! I know my posts have been scarce lately while I … [Read more...]

Five on Friday (and my Winter Mantel)
January 16, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Friday, y'all... and I am so thankful. This was another week of meetings and prayer as my precious school is being put through the ringer. I can't go into all the details yet, but let me just say: Satan is alive and well. I have never experienced spiritual warfare before, but I'm enduring it now. So if my posts are a bit scarce for a while it is because I am drained. BUT, I am optimistic and continue praying and seeking joy in my … [Read more...]

Christmas on the Front Porch
December 8, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Monday already? Oh did I have a fun and full weekend decking my halls... the inside of my home is still in process, but the porch? Done! I'm not sure why I wanted to put more creativity into it this year. Maybe because we'll be traveling some over Christmas and I'm simplifying my inside decorations? Anyway, after gathering some inspiration, here's where I landed... Come on up! I usually have small trees in these urns, but decided … [Read more...]
DIY Joy Banner
December 5, 2014 by · 2 Comments
There's just something about the word "joy", don't you think? Three simple letters that can flood your heart and soul with the warm fuzzies. I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities. Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]

Hey there! Hope y'all are having a good week and getting your ho-ho-ho in tip top shape! The blogosphere is full of holiday home tours this week (tons of inspiration out there!!) and I'm still working on decking my halls. True confession -- when you're gone for Thanksgiving every year (which we are) it's hard to get a head start on full blown Christmas decorating. So I always feel a little behind, but I honestly don't stress. My halls will … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (November)

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...]

Hey there and TGIF!!! Whew. I had quite the week in my classroom, but I'll save all those thoughts for another time. Today I'm jetting off to The Big Easy with my BFF for my 25 year reunion at Tulane! Woo hoo!! I haven't been to New Orleans since Katrina, so I'm anxious to see how it's changed. AND Tulane has a brand new football stadium so we've got some fun in store this weekend. You may or may not see some shenanigans on Instagram. … [Read more...]
