Magical Monday {More Disney Style}

August 15, 2016July 20, 2017

I’ve been playing a bit of catch-up here on the blog with this weekend’s LA video and the “after the rose” tour of our powder room in the hopper.   So, hopping back in time to our weekend spent at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn + Villas, I’ve got a little recap of what I wore. Take… Read More

Sunday Supper {Bang Bang Shrimp + Fried Rice}

August 14, 2016August 13, 2016

This is one of our favorite, lick the plate clean, kind of Sunday Suppers!  It’s quick and easy and not toooo bad for you to boot.  I found the recipe years ago and printed it out so I don’t have a source, sadly.  At any rate, I give you Bang Bang Shrimp + Fried Rice… Fried… Read More

We Hopped Off the Plane at LAX

August 13, 2016August 13, 2016

It has taken a couple of months (four and a whole new school year, but who’s counting?!), but I’ve finally got the GoPro videos from our LA trip with the boys all edited into one.  We managed to cull a LOT of minutes into just three or so in a video trip report of our first… Read More

3 Simple Ways to Add Wow to Your Room

August 12, 2016August 12, 2016

Let’s talk decorating today!!  My friend Anita over at Cedar Hill Farmhouse recently asked how I “add wow” to a room.  I find that time and again I use the same three *simple* techniques to add wow to a room. LIGHTING Whether it is dripping in crystals or a simple lantern, adding a beautiful chandelier… Read More

Tips, Tricks & Sources for Dressing Boys + An eBay Sale

August 11, 2016October 28, 2016

Every now and again I get my boys out of their athleisure wear into something much more handsome.  I seriously covet those moments.  Sigh.  I pat myself on the back when we I get them in a Vineyard Vines tee, have an extra pep in my step when I can finagle a monogrammed polo, and… Read More

A is for Apple After School Snack

August 9, 2016September 6, 2016

One of my favorite traditions is to have a special snack waiting on the littles after their first day back to school.  I first did this five years ago when John started Kindergarten.  I was so weepy and nervous and it gave me something to do while I missed him.  Little did I know at the… 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!
