On My Bedside {My Dear Hamilton: A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton}

July 10, 2019June 19, 2019

Like last month’s edition of On My Bedside, I had My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie in my stack for months. I bought it after I fell in love with America’s First Daughter by the same authors. We are all huge Hamilton fans over here and my love of the Broadway show… Read More

Back in April, we did our first runDisney event as a family! When we saw the Star Wars 5k fell during Spring Break, we were in. The event kicked off the day before the race at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex for the race expo. We were up at 3:30 AM on race… Read More

July 7, 2019July 7, 2019

This field pea and tomato salad is the epitome of summer and I want to scream from the rooftops just how delicious it is!!! It requires a little work but is absolutely sensational.

Around Atlanta {Golden Eagle}

July 6, 2019June 16, 2019

At the recommendation of blonde AW, a girl much more in-the-know than me, Honey and I recently enjoyed a fun night out at Golden Eagle. Located along Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail inside of a former train station, stepping in Golden Eagle is like stepping back in time. Inside is dark and glamorous in a retro… Read More

Dry Skin Help {Cutemol Skin Cream}

July 5, 2019June 15, 2019

This is going to seem like the most random post, but its something I’ve been meaning to share since Christmas. Sister, Daddy-O and I all suffer from dry skin. Theirs on their hands, and mine on my feet. (I know, a little TMI.) Mother tracked down Cutemol and gave us each a tube for Christmas.… 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!
