I'm back today with a fun Five on Friday to help us ring in the New Year -- some festive champagne drinks for your celebration! I've been on the couch most of the week with my *annual* holiday head cold, but I'm looking forward to sipping one of these tomorrow evening during our own little New Years Eve celebration. So because I know you probably have a healthy to-do list for today I'll get right to it... 1. Christmas Champagne Cocktail. … [Read more...]
Weekend Project: Get Holiday-Ready
November 19, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
I don't usually post on Saturdays, but I thought this would be helpful for the onset of the holiday week. I feel like we've either been out-of-town or hosting guests the last several weekends (not entirely true but it feels that way!). And this year, I managed to be a bit proactive as far as getting my home ready for the holidays. #wondersnevercease So with Thanksgiving looming less than a week away, I thought I share a few quick things I did … [Read more...]
Helllloooooo, Summer!
June 2, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hard to believe it but the month of May is history and we're in summer mode here in ATL. The irony is that during my teaching years I found myself in leisurely hog-heaven on June 2. This year however I think leisure will be hard to come by as we get Legacy ready to rock on August 10th. So I'm navigating new waters of having a hefty to-do list, no set schedule, and lots of summer time activities that may have to fall by the wayside. However, … [Read more...]

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...]

TGIF, y'all! I didn't intend to step away this week, but -- Life. Anyway... our holidays are all about crowds. I mean, we have five kids.

In Case You Missed It (November)
December 1, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]

Last week just got crazy so the chance to breathe a bit is so very welcome. Today I'm sharing a super easy recipe for your holiday gathering (or just because!).

Feed A Crowd: Roasted Chicken & Potatoes

Wednesday already? This week is flying by! We're enjoying the most beautiful weather here and I'm enjoying a productive week so far. How about you? Today I'm sharing another of my go-to dishes for feeding the masses that seem to land in my home at dinner time. There's often the last minute "hey Mom, can so-and-so stay for dinner so we can finish our project/watch the game" so I've hit on a few strategies that feed a lot without breaking … [Read more...]

Hey, y'all -- hope you're having a great week so far! We're deep into the school schedule and routine... and guess what comes our way next week??? Fall Break. I know. It's beyond ridiculous! But I'll take that time "off" (are moms ever really "off"?) to hit the beach for a few days with my youngest and some of his friends (yikes!)... And that started me thinking about what to FEED all those boys while we're on vacay? I know I can't … [Read more...]
4th of July Cookie Bites
June 27, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Happy Friday! The 4th is only a week away and we're making our 4th of July plans around here. I've been inspired by all the 4th of July recipes floating around Pinterest these days and decided to come up with something easy, festive, and tasty for our dessert. I've always enjoyed fruit "pizzas" and there are plenty of 4th of July variations on that classic. But there's something so cute about little individual desserts, and I just like a … [Read more...]
