The weekend already? Jeez, time flies in the summertime... Thursday I journeyed down IKEA with my daughter to do some apartment shopping for her. That place never ceases to amaze me, and I shopped IKEA in Northern Virginia back in 1989 for MY first apartment! It was pretty cool then and it's even more so now... so of course I picked up a few little things for me, too. :) Like this $4 pillow cover for an insert I already … [Read more...]
He’s On His Way (and So Am I)
Well, I survived the send-off... Even big brother took his lunch hour to say bon voyage... And big sister got extra tight squeezes... Hope Spain and Portugal are ready for this group!!

Sharing is Caring {Southern Hospitality}
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...]
Lake Living {Friday Eye Candy}
Last weekend, we were so fortunate to head to the lake and our aunt's cozy home for a quick getaway. I think we were only gone a little more than 24 hours, but it was just the little break in the action we needed. On our way up, we stopped at a farmer's market called Jaemor Farms. I love stopping here during the different seasons and loading up on what's fresh! They've got the most awesome fresh baked breads (we picked up blueberry … [Read more...]

NYC at Christmastime
Hi there! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love! My family has scattered and the hubs and I are enjoying some (much needed) R & R at the beach for New Year's. I can't wait to share some photos of our adventurous Christmas soon! But as we head into the New Year, I thought I would share some from my trip to NYC with my daughter. The trip started as a reward for all her hard work, but turned into a rockin' … [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...]
