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...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
February 14, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Hello, friends! The sun is shining here today and the thaw is well underway... I was even able to venture forth to restock my fridge and cabinets after the onslaught of hungry teenagers for the last few days. And looky what else I found... Yep, the tulips I have been longing for since I unpacked my vintage silver pitcher. So today my heart is full of love for my peeps, my hubs, and also for you... I hope you spend the day (and/or … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving…
January 20, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Oh, MLK Day to the rescue! Or should I say, to my To Do list's rescue! Once again I have several projects mid-stream and last week was crazy busy finishing up student evaluations and report cards and parent conference prep. So how nice to have an extra day to cross a couple of things off my list and get some new things plugged in to my booth (remember that space? yeah, it's in need...). So I thought today was a great day to share a what … [Read more...]
Changes in the Family Room
November 22, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Did you think I'd disappeared? Me, too... Y'all. Sick. as. a. dog. Too much travel, not enough sleep, and surrounded by runny noses and coughs equals bad news. But I did want to pop in today and show you something that makes me (and my family of sensitive bare-footers) quite happy... I went for it. A new rug for the family room to replace that scratchy uncomfortable uncooperative faux sisal disaster. And ... a bold … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Tuesday
October 22, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I have re-entry issues. :) When I travel on the weekends, Mondays are always a challenge -- laundry, grocery shopping, mail, email, and... oh yeah -- work! Yikes! Last weekend was totally worth it, though. If you follow me on Instagram, you got some peeks at our fun at the Auburn v. Texas A&M game and time with my family. I'll be sharing some more photos later this week when I get them off my camera (!), but suffice to say it was an … [Read more...]
October Thoughts and September in Review
October 2, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Ah, at last... October! Cooler days, chilly evenings, the ever-so-slow turning of the leaves here in the South... I am so ready for the pause that is October. August and September are the hectic back-to-school scurry and adjustments. November is the steady uptick in the schedule and way-too-soon holiday prep. But October? Maybe because August and September have left me wrung out and a bit broken, but October feels like a chance to … [Read more...]
Making it Count
September 13, 2013 by · 14 Comments
The beauty of having a blog -- and especially a blog as small as mine -- is that it's my space and I can write whatever I want. Granted, you might not read it if you're looking for something else that day. But I can still write it. And when I named my blog "Decor & More" I deliberately left myself that option. To write about "more" sometimes. Today is one of those days. I've made no secret of the fact that I've been … [Read more...]
DIY Monogram Photo Collage
September 11, 2013 by · 10 Comments
I had one of those fun "mom" moments over the weekend when my college girl Erin sent me a pic of her latest craft project for her apartment. I guess that apple didn't fall far from the tree! I loved it so much, I thought I'd share it with you all (with her permission, of course!). It all started with this... We were so lucky to attend a book signing by Mary Kay Andrews in June and it was held at Kudzu Antiques, a fun spot to shop, … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed it {August}
September 4, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Y'all. Whew. Things have been crazy. And I don't mean just busy... I mean some tough tests swirling around me these days. I'm sorry I've been a little MIA, but I've done my best to juggle work and family obligations and struggles along with this space, and something had to give for a bit. I'm having a hard time carving out a quiet space in my mind to tackle projects and share them here. I'm hoping this fog of negativity lifts soon and I can … [Read more...]
Summer Travel {Pinnacle Port and Carillion Beach}
August 21, 2013 by · 6 Comments
As I'm back in my classroom now and thinking ahead to fall (can you believe it??), I'm thinking wistfully of our last blast at the beach right before Haven Conference. Even though it made the week before school started a little hectic, it was such a lovely getaway! There were rainbows over morning coffee... Body surfing... Pelican watching... Chilling with this girl... Relaxing in a chair with my name on it (does … [Read more...]
