Hi there, friends! I had an interesting week last week and didn't accomplish everything I'd hoped, but such is life, right? We're headed into another week of Summer Camp at Legacy, so I'm getting organized for that and trying to rest up a bit today. :) I did want to pop in and share a new summer recipe that we're obsessed with these days -- courtesy of my friend Sandy! She served this over the 4th of July and we loved the crisp freshness and … [Read more...]

Greetings, friends, and Happy Independence Week! I am headed out of town for the rest of the week and can't wait to put my feet in some COLD water and enjoy a fun time with our friends. It's been a hot minute since I've shared any recipes here, but I thought I'd collect my 4th of July favorites to share with you today! A fave fresh little dessert. The 4th of July cookie bites are SO YUMMY! Super easy to make and just the right mix of … [Read more...]
Summer Read: The Thirteenth Tale
June 26, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
Hi there, friends! Legacy summer camp is in full swing this week and we are all having SO much fun! I sure do love these kiddos and it's a treat to spend a little time with them this summer. Today I wanted to share a few thoughts about The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It's been around for a while (published in 2007) but this was my book club's May pick, so it made the cut for summer reading! I began this in early May, and was … [Read more...]
This Summer’s Book Stack
June 20, 2019 by · 1 Comment
Happy Thursday, friends! Since I'm already a third of the way through my summer "break", I thought I'd share my book stack for the season. I always look forward to stretches of time to immerse myself in a good book and summer is the best candidate for such. A few weeks ago I had the grandiose notion that I would read a book a week, and while I may still get there, it's not looking too good at this point! A few longer road trips in the … [Read more...]
Hello, Summer!
June 18, 2019 by · 1 Comment
Once again, I didn't mean to be gone so long! The end of the school year got totally away from me, which led to me being brain-dead for a couple of weeks. Then my site needed some server updates so here we are -- halfway through June and a month into my summer "break." So far, it feels a little like a break, but I'm still working every day. The administrative part of running the school and Board of Directors is never ending, actually. … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Tuesday

Hello, dear friends and Happy September!?! Once again, I did not intend to be gone for a while, but -- WHEW! We've got our school year at Legacy up and running and life just got away from me for a bit there. :) And all of a sudden, here we are -- September! I'm clinging to summer still -- I feel like I didn't really have a "summer" with all the hoopla of listing/selling/moving/trying to settle/ramping up for a new school year. It was just … [Read more...]
Five on Friday: Beach Trip Edition
September 30, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hi friends! I hope you've had an amazing week! Our schools have been on Fall Break all week, so I took advantage and scooted to the beach with my BFF for some R&R. I was pretty run down from work and that pesky cold-turned-cough, so it was a great time to catch up on my sleep and totally veg out in a beach chair for a few days! We totally lucked out on the weather -- it was sunny and breezy every day! Total win... This week's Five on … [Read more...]

Front Porch Update

Hi gang - as promised, I've made some more progress on the front porch, so I wanted to bring y'all into the loop! It's not 100 percent finished, but it's darn close! Here's our inspiration photo... And here's where we started... The biggest change we made was adding these beauties... They were on sale at Hayneedle right before our anniversary, so we decided to bite the bullet and go for it! The hubs was able to assemble … [Read more...]
Summertime Mantel Update
June 27, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
Oh my word, was last weekend HOT and BUSY! The hubs and I had some fun together at the Steely Dan/Steve Winwood concert last night and we also celebrated my youngest' 18th birthday. #howdidthathappen We did make some progress on the front porch, but it's not quite ready to share... we ended up in the air conditioning instead. ;-) So I freshened up our mantel for summertime and thought I'd share that today. I wanted a new look this year and … [Read more...]
