Well, shoot, if you blinked you missed September! Or so it seemed... I had a really busy month, but was a little light on posts around here. I hope you don't mind; I have a couple more crazy weeks and then a bit of a lull for a few weeks, so I'm planning to get some major projects around my house wrapped up. Woo hoo! But here's what I DID share during September, just in case you missed it... My Director's Office makeover Feed a Crowd Taco … [Read more...]
Feed A Crowd: Taco Night
September 10, 2014 by · 3 Comments
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...]
In Case You Missed It {August}
September 8, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Well, the weekend flew by, didn't it?! I enjoyed some furniture painting and a little bit of crafting, but mostly got a few things ticked off my to-do list. And added some more to it! I realize it's already 8 days into September, but I thought I'd go ahead and recap August here before I got too much further behind. :) It seemed August was a month of updates, like my back deck... and my guest room. I also shared a couple of … [Read more...]
Weekend Recap {Good Stuff}
September 2, 2014 by · 2 Comments
I had no idea what to expect on our trip to Jacksonville. I think my husband and I both had some anxiety, having not seen our son in many months. But what I took away was far more than I ever dreamed. I wasn't prepared for his clear-eyed grounded presence. Or for his glow of good health and sober living. Or for the words we heard from others about him... words like we heard from his boss: I have a little boy and I hope he turns out half … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Wednesday (and a Personal Note)
August 27, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Hi gang! Hope your week is going well! I just wanted to pop in and share a few things... I was working on an article for Mohawk Homescapes blog and ran across this image... source I mean -- y'all. I don't normally fall for black framed mirrors, but holy smokes!! And I love the way it's hung on all that beautiful molding. And those gray chevron ottomans with nailhead trim don't look terrible either. :) Do you ever find an image that … [Read more...]

It's Hump Day and we're counting down to the start of school on Monday... can you believe it??? I'm fighting a little funk about it, seeing as it's still SUMMER and I've lost over two weeks of time to tick things off my DIY wish list, thanks to my foot injury. Anyway, I'm herding a rising high school junior through the last of his summer reading (just shoot me) and keeping fingers crossed as he's decided to take on THREE AP classes this … [Read more...]
Haven Interrupted
July 14, 2014 by · 8 Comments
Well THAT didn't go the way I wanted it to! If you follow me on Instagram, you already know the story... Thursday night I enjoyed the Haven Welcome reception and picked up my SWAG! Y'all... I'll show you a pic of all the goodies once I unpack it. But just know the Haven team does a stellar job of finding the best sponsors that make sure we all have fantastic "party favors". Stuffed with goodies was this bag! Friday was the first … [Read more...]
Before & After: ASCP Duck Egg Desk (and Haven-bound!)
July 10, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hi friends! This post-holiday week has gotten away from me -- I hope you all enjoyed a lovely 4th of July weekend! We spent it with friends in Huntsville, AL, lounging beside their mountain-top pool, eating way too much good food, and loving on their three lively pooches. I sped home late Saturday so I could send my teen missionary on his way to Marvell, Arkansas. They're having a fantastic week of doing God's work in that small community and … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Thursday
June 26, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Well, I unintentionally went MIA for a week! There was lots of doings but I couldn't quite sit down to share until now... hope you don't mind! Last week, I was consumed with doing something I have never ever done. At least not for myself. I bought a car. My 14 year old Expedition is on it's last legs, and after about two years of knowing this day was coming, it was time to make a change. And I agonized. Y'all. I did research and drove … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
