Sunday Supper {Cinco de Mayo}

May 5, 2019May 6, 2019

We enjoyed our Sunday Supper Cinco de Mayo style tonight! The menu was not earth shattering, but I do have a great meat shortcut, themed dessert and delicious grapefruit margarita to share. Pink Grapefruit Margarita This was light and refreshing and I’d definitely make it again. 1 lime, cut in wedges, optional Kosher salt, optional… Read More

A Derby 40th Birthday

May 4, 2019May 5, 2019

My neighbor A, horse lover through and through, celebrated the big 4-0 with a derby party! It was a casual affair, but I couldn’t resist a fascinator and was excited that many others opted for one as well. The evening was full of mint juleps, dollar bets on the ponies and lots of fun with… Read More

May the Fourth Be With You {10th Birthday Celebration}

May 4, 2019May 5, 2019

Jay celebrated his 10th birthday this weekend with a Star Wars dark side skating soiree! Sister set up a fabulous cake and favor table in the party loft. The rink definitely had a galactic feel to it. She always uses Bee Caked for her kid parties. They are beautiful and tasty. For party favors she… Read More

How to Clean the Oven

May 2, 2019May 2, 2019

I do realize that this may very well be the most boring post you’ll ever read. Or maybe even something you already know. Or maybe your self cleaning oven feature works much better than mine. BUT, at my age I really just figured out how to clean an oven in a way that returns it… Read More

May Flowers

May 1, 2019May 1, 2019

April showers bring May flowers, as the old saying goes. And that certainly holds true on my front porch! (If anyone knows what I can do the help out my poor shrub on the left, I’m all ears. I have no idea what happened to it.) The flower basket is by Bronwyn Hanahan Art.  I’ve had… Read More

Callaway Gardens Weekend Get Away

April 30, 2019April 30, 2019

When my friend’s husband planned a guys-only weekend at her home, he offered to send her, their twins, Whit and me off on our own little getaway! What luck!! We chose Callaway Gardens for its proximity to Atlanta (2 hours in Friday traffic) and variety of things to do. After an easy drive (we left… Read More

Disney World Deluxe Resorts Cabana Rentals

April 29, 2019April 29, 2019

When we stayed at Bay Lake Tower Grand Villa back in December with the whole family, we splurged on a cabana rental for our pool day! It was December, and the pool was nearly empty, but we loved every second in our shaded, comfortable sanctuary. The cabana comes with padded loungers both in the sun… 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!
