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...]
#Wordsmatter: HOPE
October 20, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Ah finally -- a weekend that, in spite of being somewhat busy, was refreshing. And I needed refreshment. And some time to reflect on the week and this journey that I'm on -- getting healthy and re-evaluating. As I've raised my children and taught many others, one of the things I have said over and over is that words matter. Words can lift up and encourage and validate another. And words can also tear down, poison, and crush another. In … [Read more...]
Catalog Finds: Anthropologie
October 7, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Hey there... I hope your week is off to a great start! We got our first blast of fall weather over the weekend and it got me so revved up to embrace the season at last! A couple of weeks ago the new Anthropologie Home catalog turned up in my mailbox and I spent a good hour going through it... their photographs are so richly staged with their home products I kept finding new and intriguing pieces every time I went back through. And it also … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Loving, and Working On…

Hi, everyone! I was a traveling fool last week and have totally paid the price this week, both at home and at work. Isn't that the rub? Add in another bout of insomnia and it's not been a productive week. I would love to slow everything down but... during the fall? Not happening! Anyway, I had two wonderful trips, spent time with my boy and friends AND my BFF and had some very happy experiences along the way. I can't even tell you how … [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...]
I Can’t Resist… This Table {Dot & Bo}
April 22, 2014 by · 6 Comments
Howdy - hoo, Tuesday! I'm battling another (hopefully LAST) head cold of the school year, so I didn't get this up yesterday. Boo. Oh well... I hope you all had a blessed Easter Sunday! I spent the weekend with friends and my peeps and while I'm sick again, my soul got recharged in a big way. #loveitwhenthathappens I just love discovering new sites, especially of the decor variety. :) A few weeks ago I stumbled upon Dot and Bo and decided … [Read more...]

Whew -- made it to Friday! Re-entry was a beast this week after my awesome weekend in NYC and today I'm prepping for a quick trip to the Gulf Coast for the first part of our spring break. AND celebrating this guy's 19th birthday! How did that happen? Time flies, y'all! Happy Birthday, Alec! You made me a Boy Mommy for the first time and it's been an adventure ever since! So today will be busy as I try to get out of town, work on a … [Read more...]

Hey there! TGIF! I woke up in NYC this morning, ready to spend a weekend of birthday fun with my best girlfriend!

My Favorite Chalk Paint Projects

Happy Monday, folks! I'm digging out from yet another weekend away... this time it was a wedding and what a great time we had celebrating! I even squeezed in some antiquing and will show you my finds later this week! Back to reality now -- Open House prep for my booth, parent conferences at school, and the holiday To Do list growing by leaps and bounds. One of the things I've missed doing this fall is painting furniture... my schedule just … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {October}
November 1, 2013 by · 1 Comment
Holy Cow. October flew by in a hurry, didn't it? My pause did not last nearly as long as I'd hoped, but I'm thankful there was a bit of one in there. Here we are in November and the slide into the holidays is on its way! I think I'm actually ready to get some Christmas crafting going soon... is that scary or what? ;-) Unfortunately when I look at our calendar for the month, I'm not seeing much time to spare! Guess I'll have to get clever, … [Read more...]
