Chicken with Lemon-Cucumber Relish {a new favorite recipe}

Thank goodness it's Friday!  First of all, thank you for your kind comments and encouraging words on Wednesday.  I so appreciate the supportive community here and am buoyed by your thoughts and prayers.  I'm looking forward to a weekend at home to rest, regroup, tick a few things off my To Do List, and take in the first two of our fall soccer games.  While summer is over, I'll still be wearing shorts and sunscreen on the sidelines... and then … [Read more...]

Have you ever noticed that some of the best gifts are free? We're back from our second weekend in a row spent with good friends... and we've experienced the most amazing Southern hospitality. If you follow me on Instagram you saw a few peeks from our weekend fun in South Alabama on the Little Escambia Creek.  And I returned with fresh vegetables, an incredible collection of driftwood, and new recipes to try... The previous weekend, … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It {May}

I had to chuckle when I remembered writing about how crazy my month of May would be and that you might not see much of me on the blog during that month... ha!  I'm so thrilled to be into June when I can breathe a little, take stock of what projects I'd like to accomplish this summer, and catch up on blogging and reading. In case you missed some of these May moments, here's a look back! We squeezed in a lake getaway to recharge before … [Read more...]

February’s Favorite Things

Well, you know what they say... better late than never!  But we're only a week into March, so I figure this isn't too bad, right?

But without further ado, here are a few of my favorites from February... 1.  My No Spend Month. Seriously, y'all?  … [Read more...]

January’s Favorite Things

I can't believe we're already at the end of January!  I survived all those parent conferences, but did not accomplish everything I'd hoped to do on the home front.  Oh well -- there's always February, right? ;-) So here are my favorite things for January... I think it's a pretty good list. :) 1.  Atlanta Bloggers get-togethers. I was sooooo lucky this month!  Our Atlanta bloggers met up for lunch and a business meeting in Woodstock, GA … [Read more...]

October’s Favorite Things

Can you believe it's November?  Do you feel that clock ticking toward Christmas like I do??  Wow! This October was a jam-packed, fun-filled, stress-inducing month.  Wonder what November will be like???  I'm scared.  Hold me. Just kidding!  But seriously, we were out of town quite a bit, running our legs off while in town, and hanging by a thread about the opening of the new antique mall where my booth will be.  Oh, and out of town company … [Read more...]

What I’m Loving: NYC… in Pictures

My NYC photos are all edited and ready to share!  It was such a great weekend... I thought I'd let the photos tell the tale. :)   *Sorry to interrupt!  This tree was salvaged from the rubble of the towers, nursed back to health in a conservatory, and then transplanted back to the memorial last year.  It was awarded this... *A favorite watering … [Read more...]
