January Recap {In Case You Missed It}

February??  Wow... not sure how that happened.  For a month that's supposed be of the "slowing down" sort that I love, January sure sped by.  We had such an enjoyable weekend and I cooked up a storm for our little Super Bowl party yesterday.  Got a new crock pot recipe to share soon, so stay tuned! I was looking back at my posts last month and while there were definitely projects, there was lots of "other"... thoughts, goals, reads.  That's my … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving…

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...]

What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving…

It's been a while since I did one of these and since I'm still a bit under the weather and behind on posting, I thought this would be a fun pre-Thanksgiving post.  I spent most of yesterday in the kitchen and getting a bit of Christmas decorating on (!), but I did have to dash out to snag a winter coat for the 15 year old.  He's grown so much in the past year (5 inches!) there was nary a coat in the house to fit him and with freezing temps and … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It {October}

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...]

This ‘n That Tuesday

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...]

In Case You Missed It (July)

This is just shameful.  Past the mid-point of August and I'm just now reviewing July???  Welcome to my chaos, friends! :-)  I have to confess, though, that the past weeks of back-to-school nuttiness has me pondering a new project here on the blog.  Details to come soon!  Thank you for all the kind comments about my daughter's "new" furniture, too -- always love a good furniture redemption! Anyway, I looked back at July and it was full of good … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving…

Happy Friday, friends!  Whew, what a week!  I know I promised a giveaway today, but I've decided to wait a bit to announce it... you see, Decor & More is getting a little work done.  :-D  Can you see how big I'm smiling??  I'm so excited about the fresh new look coming our way!  So because the site might be down a bit here and there for the next few days, it's not the best time to do a giveaway.  It's coming soon, I promise, though. … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading, Loving, and Working On…

Happy Friday, friends!  I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :)  So today I'm sharing some "happies"  -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night!   What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]

Guest Room Lighting

Happy Monday, y'all.  After a rainy weekend of getting things done, I feel a little better about my To Do List, but there's still much to do in the coming weeks.  We finally got graduation announcements for my son in the mail, brought my daughter (and all her STUFF!) home from UGA, and ticked off several things I needed to do for school.  I was hoping to get more done on the guest room, but ran out of time.  Boo. Even though the weather didn't … [Read more...]

This ‘n That Monday: What I’m Reading

Happy Monday, everyone!  Spring finally sprung over the weekend and I've been a busy bee around here!  The fun has begun on the guest room (woo hoo) and I got my garage a little more organized over the weekend (thank goodness!).  Lo and behold, the car even got washed... amazing what you can accomplish with some good weather. :) Follow me on Instagram for updates and sneak peeks in the guest room this week! Since there's so much in progress … [Read more...]
