Endings

Hello, gang! I'm so chock full of emotions these days, I can't even find words right now. Those of you that have had crazy times of endings know what I'm saying... My guests have begun arriving, the party prep is ongoing, and tomorrow, this handsome guy will close out a chapter in his life (where did the time go???). I also said "goodbye" to my Little Ones yesterday, after a crazy gratifying emotional roller coaster of a day with … [Read more...]

Thoughts: Mary on the Day After
March 30, 2013 by · 8 Comments
An unusual post, since I don't normally post on the weekends, but this weekend is special... tomorrow is the beginning of the story with the discovery of the empty tomb. But what about the day in between? In between that awful day when He was hung upon the cross and the day He rose? Two years ago I penned a post on my personal and family blog about just that, and I thought I would share those thoughts with you today... That was her … [Read more...]
January’s Favorite Things
January 31, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I can't believe we're already at the end of January! I survived all those parent conferences, but did not accomplish everything I'd hoped to do on the home front. Oh well -- there's always February, right? ;-) So here are my favorite things for January... I think it's a pretty good list. :) 1. Atlanta Bloggers get-togethers. I was sooooo lucky this month! Our Atlanta bloggers met up for lunch and a business meeting in Woodstock, GA … [Read more...]
Looking Back (a 2012 Review)
January 13, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Looking back is not my strong suit. :) I'm a proponent of moving on, pressing ahead, not looking back. But 2012 was a year of growth and change for Decor & More, and many of you are new around here...so I think it's fitting that I do a little review of last year's projects and progress. In January, I did a little thrifting, some organization, and added some art work to my Mom Cave. I also created this easy little moss … [Read more...]
Holiday Treat: Reindeer Food
December 21, 2012 by · 6 Comments
It's Friday, friends, and the clock is ticking toward Christmas! This week, in addition to some major re-entry issues after NYC, I made our traditional Reindeer Food treat that we give to friends and neighbors during the holidays. I'm always on the hunt for cute containers to package it. These were all picked up on clearance after last Christmas. Do you spy the treat spread out on the counter behind while it hardens? This is the recipe … [Read more...]
Day of Quiet…
December 17, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Dear friends, While I was in NY celebrating my daughter's stellar semester at UGA, my heart was breaking for the mothers and fathers of Sandy Brook that were robbed of that chance with their own children. I was getting the local NY news on site long before most of you got the word. The horror is unimaginable. So is the realization that many are using this tragedy to further their own agendas. So I'm going quiet today... to honor … [Read more...]
