Well. You know when you have a plan -- a time-table -- all mapped out for getting everything done and being able to kick back and enjoy the holidays? Yeah. Well, that was me. Until the flu. I'm talking laid out in the bed can't pick your head up your kids don't see you for days flu. Truth be told, I'm still only about 30%, but I can be upright for stretches of time, so I call that progress. My decorating had at least been started, the … [Read more...]

Oh my word, December is FLYING by, isn't it? I'm scurrying around this week, working on Legacy, finishing up my decorating, and trying to get some packages shipped off, my Christmas cards are mocking me from the kitchen table... bet your list looks the same!! I meant to get this post up over the weekend, but we were at the lake for my hub's birthday and there wasn't a whole lotta anything that got done... other than eating, making merry, and … [Read more...]

Happy Cyber Monday, friends! Have you got your holiday shopping on yet? I have a few things I'll be ordering today, but for the most part I try to shop all year so the financial hit isn't so hard this time of year. :) The blogosphere is loaded with Gift Guides the past few days, and though I was tempted to put one together myself, I thought I'd just share a little randomness with you today. All 7 of us were together (briefly!) on … [Read more...]
Inspiring Thanksgiving Table Decor

It's almost here! We're on the road today, headed for my in-laws' to celebrate a quick Thanksgiving... it's no small feat to gather 4 20-somethings and a teenager with work/school schedules but we managed! I think we'll all be together for about 3 hours before some have to head out (and others are arriving last minute) but we'll take it. My mother-in-law hosts Thanksgiving every year... it's kind of her "thing" and so we make the drive … [Read more...]
Feed A Crowd: Easy Baked Spaghetti
November 23, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Thanksgiving week!! Yikes, so much to do... our family has been going 90 to nothing and my to-do list is a long one. We're traveling for Turkey Day, but will be back for the weekend and I fully intend to get my Christmas on then -- unless I get a wild hare and start now?? One of the challenges for me this time of year is feeding my crowd without breaking the bank or spending hours in the kitchen. Because there's always a shortage of time and … [Read more...]

Hi there, gang... another busy week, of course and I know we're all feeling that slide toward the holidays beginning! I, for one, am finding myself READY to embrace all the joy the holidays bring! The Queen of Hearts Antiques where my booth is located is hosting our annual Holiday Open House so I was busy readying my space this week. And that prompted me to tackle a dining table and chairs project, because folks are often looking for a table … [Read more...]

Whew, TGIF! Busy times around here and I'm looking forward to a football weekend with our Auburn peeps. The sun is FINALLY out today so I'll be working on a paint project (see below!) and finishing up food for our early tailgate tomorrow morning. I thought it was good time to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now before my to-do list gets the best of me! What I'm reading... these two books. I'm usually not that great at … [Read more...]
Country Living Fair 2015

Well, that weekend flew by, but we had such a great time with our out-of-town friends! Sandy and I took in the Country Living Fair on Saturday and made a day of it. The weather was perfect -- overcast and mild -- for strolling between the vendors, enjoying some music and good food, and shopping like crazy. One of things I love about the CL Fair is that I always come away inspired! The Country Living folks and all of the vendors do such an … [Read more...]
