Happy New Year and Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a festive and fun New Years, even if it involved yoga pants and cups of tea. I managed to make it til midnight and then spent all day on the couch yesterday. It was a cold and rainy day, perfect for enjoying the fire in comfort. :) Today is the last day of the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, and so I felt I'd be remiss if I didn't share some of the great deals they've got for the … [Read more...]

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! We're weathering the winter chill so I thought I'd share my winter mantel with you today. After I took down my Christmas mantel, I was craving something very simple and natural. And that's exactly where my mantel ended … [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...]

Hello, dears! I pray you are all resting and reveling in holiday festivities with your loved ones. It's hard to believe 2015 is almost in the books! I thought this year would never end sometimes, and at other times it absolutely flew by with so much going on. Maybe you feel the same? Either way, I'm looking forward to all that 2016 holds and am spending these last days of 2015 reflecting, praying over the days to come, and contemplating my … [Read more...]
Winter Mantel Refresh

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...]
Winter Door Decor and on Choosing Joy
February 9, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Happy Monday, friends... I hope you all had a restful weekend! After all the turmoil of the past weeks I did rest a bit and did a LOT of work towards a new undertaking I'll share with you soon. And I finally got the Christmas decorations off the front porch. Yes, we were THAT family this year. Ugh. Anyhoo, getting my front porch cleared and refreshed for winter got me thinking about winter door decor. And a quick visit to Pinterest gave me … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday
February 2, 2015 by · 6 Comments
Oh my, friends... such goings on. I wish I could say it's all been good stuff, but unfortunately I'm in the midst of one of the most heartbreaking scenarios I've ever experienced. I just last week submitted my resignation at school, effective at the end of the year. I am deeply saddened, but God is in control here and I am embarking on my biggest walk of faith yet. The stress has not been kind to me -- my heart is racing most of the time, … [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...]
