What We’re Watching {Return to Hogwarts}

January 7, 2022January 9, 2022

Around here, we are HUGE Harry Potter fans! As you can imagine, we were beyond excited to settle into the den and watch Return to Hogwarts last week. It was a little surreal to realize this was a 20th anniversary special. Honey and I told the boys stories of waiting for hours in lines at… Read More

Well, I finally got to try it and…. drumroll please…. it absolutely lived up to my high expectations!!! Honey, Whit and I celebrated our New Year’s Eve with this table… Read More

Being Catholic {St. Simeon’s Feast Day}

January 5, 2022January 7, 2022

When we were learning about John’s patron saint, Simeon, during his confirmation preparation, we decided that we would celebrate his feast day at home each year. This wasn’t something I did growing up, but we love to eat, we love to celebrate, and I thought it would be a nice way to “remember” our patron… Read More

Winter Welcome

January 4, 2022January 6, 2022

I looked for a long time for the perfect thing for our front door in those winter weeks between Christmas and Valentine’s Day before finding this Have Mercy cross a few years ago. I love putting it up at the start of January, and then again for the Easter season. Seeing the little uplights in this photo… Read More

Boma Flavors of Africa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

January 3, 2022January 13, 2022

It’s been a long time since I had the pleasure of eating at Boma Flavors of Africa at Animal Kingdom Lodge. It’s pretty out of the way unless you are staying there, but it is one I make a point to enjoy when I am! Boma is located on the lower level of the lobby,… Read More

Ringing in 2022 {Traditional New Years Feast}

January 1, 2022January 2, 2022

After a day spent at home resting, watching football, reading and working on our new puzzle, we enjoyed our 19th annual New Years Day meal! I gave myself gorgeous white linen napkins with a metallic god monogram for Christmas (ha!) and they were the jumping off point for my table. It was sparkly and festive… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
