May Flowers for the Front Porch

May 1, 2018May 1, 2018

And just like that May – the busiest month of the year around here – has arrived!!  I thought we’d never see sunny skies and warm days again with the chilly April we had.  But, alas, May came in gloriously today.  I’ve had my doors open while I work and the birds have happily chirped… Read More

April 30, 2018June 15, 2021

UPDATED REVIEW HERE We have recently stayed twice at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa and I wanted to share all the details. This is one of a few Disney resorts that you really don’t hear much about so I’ll cover off on the rooms, property, dining and amenities. Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa… Read More

Instant Pot Eats {Easy One Pot Spaghetti}

April 29, 2018May 1, 2018

My kids LOVE spaghetti.  Their favorite is when Mimi comes to town and makes it but nobody complains when mine goes on the table.  :-)  I make it regularly and one night when time got away from me I finally tried to adapt it for the instant pot. Now, I have to apologize for the… Read More

A Rainbow Unicorn Dance Party Birthday!

April 27, 2018April 28, 2018

It just dawned on me this week that I never shared pictures from CeeCee’s Rainbow Unicorn Dance Party birthday celebration.  She thought of that theme all on her own! Of course Sister out did herself making everything so perfectly festive for the occasion! CeeCee and guests had such a FUN afternoon dancing their little hearts… Read More

April 26, 2018April 27, 2018

Last weekend Honey and I ditched all responsibility, left the boys with the grands and skipped down to Disney for an adult weekend in our happy place!!  It is way too hard for us to get away for our anniversary in mid-May so this seemed close enough to celebrate our sweet sixteen. runDisney Race Expo… Read More

Blue + Tan Fabrics for the Boy Room

April 25, 2018April 26, 2018

Whit’s room has been a bit of a revolving door of furniture since he never actually used the room until this past August.  Since he moved in, I have yet again been tweaking things here and there to make it perfect for him.  In addition to the new rug and new-to-him chair, I also finally… Read More

On My Bedside {America’s First Daughter}

April 24, 2018April 25, 2018

I read America’s First Daughter while on our D.C. trip and absolutely LOVED it!  It is the best book I have read in recent memory.  In fact, I usually pass along any books I purchase to a friend but this one I could only loan to Mother because I want to read it again.  There were… 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!
