Hi friends... Well, I checked out again for a bit, but I'm back! I spent 10 days in Texas with my family at the beginning of October, taking in some Texas Aggie football and then trekking to Amarillo to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. It was such sweet family time... And so then, when I got back, I had to hit the ground running for Legacy (more on that this week). And so while I intended to post last week, life got in … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Loving, and Working On
July 1, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Greetings, dear friends!! I didn't intend to be gone so long, but I'm happy to be back. I have a story to tell about my time away, but I'll save that for another day. Right now my summer is in full swing and I've been relishing the down time after a crazy few months. Right now I've got Wimbeldon on the TV and lots of sleeping young people in the house... life is good. I thought I'd share what I'm reading, loving and working on today... … [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...]
Happy New Year!!

Oh, 2015! I can't begin to imagine what you have in store for us! We're spending some time celebrating the New Year with friends, but I'm also brainstorming DIYs and inspiration to share here, along with some more personal posts along the way. This year is already promising BIG changes in our world, so I'd love it if you'd pray for us as we venture forth. In fact, why don't we pray for each other?? Please share in the comments how I can pray … [Read more...]
It Was an Insta-Christmas!

Whew!! What an amazing week we had with my family in Texas! Our travel out there was rocky (to say the least), but once we got there it was a lovely relaxing time with some of my favorite people. If you followed along on Instagram, I apologize for the duplicate pics, but there's a few new ones in here, too! And there are a few photos I've saved for our New Years cards so I'll share those soon. Yes, I decided to send NY cards this year, … [Read more...]
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...]
Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)
November 28, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hello there!! Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday? Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-) And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!). We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed it: October
November 3, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Oh my goodness. November, y'all. Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway. The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season. So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week! I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October. Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]

Howdy hoo, y'all... and TGIF! I've had a super busy week and am really looking forward to some downtime and fun this weekend. I've had a few things mulling around my brain this week, so thought I'd just smoosh them all into one random post. Hope you don't mind! 1 A Whole30 update. Okay, here's the deal. Eating clean, whole foods and eliminating all the sugars and preservatives really hasn't been that hard. In fact, the hubs and I … [Read more...]

Hi everyone and Happy Monday to you! The leaves are already coming down here in ATL but we don't have much color yet. I'm wondering if our harsh winter and wet summer have anything to do with it, but I'm holding out hope for some good fall foliage here in the next few weeks. I'm ready to get my "fall" on, y'all! Today marks something of a fresh start for me. Last week I took some time away with my husband and spent some time thinking and … [Read more...]
