Last Look at the Brother’s Room

August 23, 2017September 20, 2017

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Whit has moved into his own room after sharing his brother’s since the very first night he came out of his crib.  John’s one ask before middle school was to trade in his twin beds for one big one.  We are moving down that path slowly but… Read More

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

August 22, 2017January 15, 2021

Last month Sister and I took the kids down to Disney for a week to squeeze every last dollar out of our annual passes :-).  We wanted to have as economical of a trip as possible, and we wanted a lot of pool time in our schedule since we knew it would be insanely hot.… Read More

Daily Delight {Eclipse 2017}

August 21, 2017January 4, 2021

As y’all know, we headed up to Hiawasse, Georgia this past weekend to enjoy some fun in the sun and to have a viewing spot of the eclipse from the path of totality!  The kids swam in the lake and did some fishing in the morning while most of the adults squeezed in some work,… Read More

Lake Chatuge

August 20, 2017August 22, 2017

I’m a little late on this post because we spent a wonderful low-tech weekend up in Hiawasse, Georgia at Lake Chatuge where the scenery was gorgeous, the water sports were awesome, the company was wonderful and the internet was bad.  :-) We had a group of 14 at the M family lake house.  The lake… Read More

Eclipse Snacks

August 19, 2017August 18, 2017

We are headed up to a lake in North Georgia for a couple of days of fun in the sun and eclipse viewing from the path of totality!!  Bestie M and I brainstormed all sorts of themed snacks to have out during the event and I picked up mine this morning. Sun Chips, Capri Suns,… Read More

Air Fryer Thoughts

August 18, 2017April 15, 2019

I shared on Instagram a few weeks ago that I finally bit the bullet on an air fryer.  After listening to two unrelated friends rave about theirs for months, including how much they loved it for feeding their boys (older and hungrier than mine), I was really wanting one.  I did a lot of research… Read More

A Pretty Memory Box for Your Ticket Stubs

August 17, 2017August 17, 2017

I’ve been saving ticket stubs in my desk drawer for years.  I’ve tossed around ideas in my head on just what to do with them countless times, but none of the things I came up with ever excited me.  I wanted something pretty, inexpensive and timeless and I finally found the perfect thing! Sorting through… 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!
