The Delightful Home {Southern Screened Porch}

May 16, 2018September 15, 2021

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2021 After five years of enjoying our porch, I’ve been working on a few updates this spring and summer!  To refresh your memory, or if you’ve just recently joined us, we originally had a deck in this space. We used most of the original footings, moved the stairs, and ended up with this… Read More

The Edison at Disney Springs

May 14, 2018September 11, 2018

When we were staying at Saratoga Springs Resort for the Star Wars Race weekend, Honey and I spent a lot of time at Disney Springs.  From morning coffee to late nights, the whole area is inviting, fun and worth visiting.  One of our very favorite nights was spent at The Edison. Designed to look like… Read More

Mother’s Day

May 13, 2018May 14, 2018

I was so, so happy to get to spend this Mother’s Day with my mom and my sis.  We didn’t have any big, fancy plans.  The kids played in the yard, the guys grilled and we just hung out.  It was perfect. I dug up some old “mom” pics to share today.  This was at… Read More

Musings

May 12, 2018May 13, 2018

Spring came rushing in, didn’t it?!  After a crazy chilly April, I feel like we skipped straight to swim suit weather.  I have loved working right here from my very own home this year so so so so so so much!! I put these together for a friend needing a little cheering up.  There’s nothing… Read More

The Night Before Summer Vacation {Mystery Reader + A Treat}

May 11, 2018May 11, 2018

I was so excited to be Mystery Reader in Whit’s class today.  And, while he was excited to see me, he was thrilled that his Daddy came too!!  The smile on his face was priceless.  I picked three of his favorite reads, plus an old favorite (The Night Before Summer Vacation) to read to the… Read More

On My Bedside {The Other Boleyn Girl}

May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

When Mother and I cruised together with the boys in February, she was reading The Other Boleyn Girl and literally could not put it down.  I kept willing her to finish it for two reasons: 1) so we could go do something fun and 2) so I could take my turn at reading it.  :-) … Read More

Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛 Whit decided about 30 minut Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛

Whit decided about 30 minutes before everyone was meeting for pictures that he was going after all! A quick scramble through three boys’ closets produced a suit, and off he went. No haircut, no tie, no problem! Haha!

These lasts are coming fast, and I’m trying to soak up every one!

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!
