On My Bedside {Save the Date}

June 26, 2014July 28, 2015

I’m not sure how or why, but I do believe this is the very first On My Bedside post with a Mary Kay Andrews read!?!?  She is one of my very favorite authors and I always look forward to her new releases.  Many of them are set in Savannah, Atlanta and the South and all… Read More

Stars and Stripes on the Porch

June 25, 2014July 28, 2015

When I pulled out the stars and stripes for the exterior on Flag Day, I also fluffed the porch in all things red, white and blue!!  We spend most of our mornings and evenings out here and I love changing it out a little for big holidays. Mother made the red and white pillow covers… Read More

Granola Bars + Geocaching

June 24, 2014July 28, 2015

One of the *many* activities on my littles’ summer bucket list was to head out on a geocaching adventure.  So, we are headed down to a trail by the river tomorrow – in spite of the heat!  Since General Mills sent us a backpack chocked full of protein-packed ingredients and the new Cheerios Protein Cinnamon… Read More

Go Lightening + A Winner

June 23, 2014July 28, 2015

Our ball park pulled together an all star team to participate in a few tournaments this summer and Whit was beyond thrilled to join the 5U Lightening!!  The tournaments run with different rules, a larger field and big barrel bats – all of which are new from our regular season.  Whit struggled a little with… Read More

Sunday Supper {Gazpacho + Raspberry Bars}

June 22, 2014July 28, 2015

After a long ankle injury induced hiatus from cooking, I’m back in the kitchen.  I kicked things off with a lovely summer supper on the porch.  Y’all know my kids eat pretty much anything, but this is one they both gobbled up!  I loved that I had the whole thing ready before lunch and we… Read More

Tag…I’m It

June 21, 2014July 28, 2015

It’s been a good long while since I’ve done one of these, so I was thrilled when bestie R tagged me in the latest little blog hop!  I think y’all will know most all of this, but here we go…   1.  Are you named after someone? Not to my knowledge.  I guess Mother and… Read More

Swim Team Ribbons

June 20, 2014July 28, 2015

With just two swim meets under our belts, we’ve already amassed a little collection of ribbons.  I remember displaying mine artfully all over my closet doors as a kid, and spending endless hours pouring through them.  Well, my littles are no different in that they love carrying these around the house, reliving every moment of… 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!
