Our Easter Entry

March 30, 2021March 30, 2021

I have so enjoyed watching Spring gently unfold in my yard and neighborhood. Over the last week, green is popping up everywhere and it sure does feel cheerful and hopeful. I’ve had my Easter door hangers out since St. Patrick’s Day. I’m using my Have Mercy cross attached it to a boxwood wreath (from Target, approximately 24″.)… Read More

Liberty Tree Tavern in Disney’s Magic Kingdom

March 29, 2021March 29, 2021

It has been a number of years since we last dined at the fan favorite Liberty Tree Tavern in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. There are SO many delicious restaurants at the Walt Disney World Resort, that it sometimes takes years to circle back to repeats. The colonial-style inn is perfectly suited for this location in the… Read More

Last Birthday Fun

March 25, 2021March 27, 2021

Rounding out my birthday month was the most thoughtful little porch party with two dear friends. They secretly contacted Sister and Honey to put together an evening of my favorites. It was incredibly touching that they did this and brought a tear to my eye to feel so loved. Nobody could appreciate a menu of… Read More

On My Bedside {The Giver of Stars}

March 24, 2021March 24, 2021

I almost didn’t stick with this one but boy am I glad I did! The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes started so slowly for me that I even did a little Instagram poll on whether or not it was a worthwhile read. By the point I reached the 1/4 way, I was completely hooked… Read More

The Delightful Home {Powder Room}

March 23, 2021March 23, 2021

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve shared our tiny little powder room. But, I’m back today to revisit the old and share one very unexpected new addition! This room already had the counter, vanity and floors when we moved in. Everything done over the last 12 years has been cosmetic, including new lighting,… 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!
