We love the laid-back lifestyle up at the lake. And our aunt's house is full of the homiest touches with that prop-your-feet-up feel. Here's a taste of where we were last weekend... Yes, that's the hubs doing a back flip off the boat house. Great way to refresh oneself! And yes, I've been playing with PicMonkey again -- love that site! I'll be sharing more of the lake later this week and showing you my front porch … [Read more...]
Rainy Monday…
June 11, 2012 by · 7 Comments
It's a rainy Monday in Georgia and I'm digging out from under a fabulous weekend at the lake with my husband. :-) Nice problem to have, no? I have some fun posts coming your way about life at the lake and today you get a sneak peek. I also got a little motivated when I downloaded all my photos to give PicMonkey a try. The collages are a great way to share LOTS of photos (and I have LOTS to share!). Back with more tomorrow! … [Read more...]

Easy DIY Moss and Burlap Wreath
June 6, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Once I finally took down my evergreen "M" that hangs in my kitchen window through the winter months, it just looked so bare. When I then painted the walls that very pale gray-green, I knew I needed something with a little punch hanging there... can't be too sleek and neutral now. :) And I wanted natural elements -- or something resembling natural elements anyway. So I gathered up a few things I had laying around from other projects: a … [Read more...]

The hubs and I got to experience some of the finest Southern hospitality last weekend when he played in a golf tournament at the Eufaula Country Club. I get so caught up in my immediate world of kids, teaching,house, booth, and blogging, I sometimes forget how fun it is to break out, tootle around and do nothing but socialize with nice folks for a couple of days. We enjoyed beautiful golf weather, incredible $4 Bloody Marys (here in ATL they … [Read more...]

Well, the hubs and I are off to a golf tournament in Eufala, AL today. My plan is just to ride along in the golf cart, since I'm a total novice and am really just going to support him. And have some fun. With the country club set. Should be interesting! But I am so thrilled to share my next Inspiring Blogger Interview with you today! I've been a fan of The Mustard Ceiling for over a year and just love the variety Elizabeth brings to her … [Read more...]
May’s Favorite Things
May 31, 2012 by · 7 Comments
I seriously did not think I would make it through May. I fully intended to roll through the month with a few outdoor projects I could share here and at The Great Outdoors linky party and with my sanity intact. But here I sit, brain-dead, in a very dirty, messy house, recovering from a brutal chest cold that kicked my hiney the last week of school, with nothing to show but a few of my favorites and a To Do List for June. Sorry, folks! Life … [Read more...]

Progress on the To-Do’s & Boredom Buster Bags
May 23, 2012 by · 4 Comments
You kind of get two posts in one today, in the effort to hold myself accountable for my To-Do List. It was growing fangs (my To Do List, that is) over the weekend and all I wanted to do was sit on my back deck with a stack of magazines and enjoy the breezes. But I battled through and with the help of My Teens we got quite a bit done. Progress!! We spent a good bit of time taming the ivy that was taking over the front beds and providing … [Read more...]
