John Does 10×10

May 3, 2015September 6, 2015

Far be it for John to be left out of anything.  He sat around listening to Honey and I excitedly discuss our respective 40×42 and 40×41 lists and right then and there started drafting his 10×10. John dreams big and this list is by his own hand.  So, without further ado, here we go: 1.… Read More

Blue Aves

May 2, 2015July 31, 2015

Back when we got married, every bride I knew was picking white china with a silver or gold rim.  It was pretty, but I just wasn’t in love with it enough (based on how expensive it was) to put it on our registry.  And I already had an entire set of blue willow everyday china… 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!

Good luck, y’all! And thank you for helping me celebrate Katie’s new adventure! ❤️
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!
