Hi friends! I don't normally pop in over the weekend, but I wanted to share this fun St Patrick's Day treat today so you'd have time to whip it up for tomorrow's festivities! I stumbled across this little gem on Oopsey Daisy blog three years ago and I've whipped it up for my preschoolers to enjoy every year since then. If you're not familiar with Alison's blog, she's got tons of kid-friendly activities and easy DIYs. She's not posted in quite … [Read more...]
Spring Mantel Makeover
March 12, 2014 by · 7 Comments
Well, my server has been upgraded and I can finally share my spring mantel with y'all -- we had some nice weather over the weekend and at the beginning of the week so I was itching to get it finally ready for spring. :) Never mind that we're back in the cold wind and rain right now. We should have known this winter would not go quietly! You've probably noticed I left a few things in place... like my antique frame that's propped on my … [Read more...]
DIY Peace Watercolor
March 7, 2014 by · 7 Comments
Apparently I'm really taking my personal goal to paint more this year to heart. :) I haven't been able to put away my watercolors lately and I have so many ideas for various projects involving watercolors I have started a list in my journal. Quite honestly? It's therapeutic. And I don't need good weather (because Lord knows THAT's in short supply!). And it doesn't require sanding or heavy lifting. Just a seat at my kitchen table and a cup … [Read more...]
It’s the Little Things (and a Big Thing)
March 5, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Ever notice how something little can make you warm and fuzzy on the inside? Something little like organizing a kitchen drawer, tulips in a vintage silver pitcher, or this... A citron green chevron rug for my kitchen. It also prompted me to wipe down my kitchen cabinets. Yowza. Needed to be done. :) Yes, thank you HomeGoods! I'm making little changes for spring (oh, spring, where ARE you??) and it's feeling pretty good. … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {February}…

After all the stress and angst of last week, God granted me a wonderful weekend of peace! I was so blessed to spend Saturday with a dear friend, watching her daughter (my god daughter) play in a volleyball tournament and catching up. Don't you love it when it's as if no time has passed since you last saw one another? Sunday was warm and lovely and after church I spent a few hours in my yard, clipping, raking, and bagging debris from the … [Read more...]
Small Space Project {Kitchen Island Drawer}

TGIF, y'all... what a week. First of all, I want to thank you so much for the sweet comments and prayers yesterday. Seeing all the pictures from the crash and hearing family testify about that terrible day has made our loss fresh again. My children are especially battling their grief and anger anew, especially seeing no remorse from the man that killed their cousin. I can't blame them. Your continued prayers are coveted today, as we're … [Read more...]

So sorry for the radio silence. Oh my, y'all. If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you might know I was at the beach last weekend for a girls' trip... where I was brought down by a nasty stomach bug inflicted upon me by my preschoolers. Ugh. I want a DO OVER! Anyway, I'm back in the land of the living and the petri dish I call a work place... just a tad behind on anything and everything. Sound familiar? :) Our spring schedule is … [Read more...]
