Messages from Mickey {Halloween Edition}

October 8, 2013July 28, 2015

Some of our favorite magical memories from past trips are Messages from Mickey.  We’ve saved a bundle of money on souvenirs as whenever we passed a store we just reminded the littles that Mickey would be picking out a treat especially for them each day!  And the littles literally bound out of bed each morning… Read More

Oh Mickey, You’re So Fine {Halloween Edition}

October 7, 2013February 22, 2016

If you know me, you know that I could hardly jet off to Disney without a wardrobe in place for the littles.  This time, Mother was mostly off the hook.  (Although, she will tell you that the project I gave her this time was worse than all the others combined.)  She sure has churned out… Read More

Y’all, I am crazy excited about this!!!!  I spent way, waaaaaaay too long the other night making these Disney Activity Books for the car ride down to Orlando.  There are fifteen pages of activities ranging from coloring pages to word games to number activities.  Some will be a little too easy for John and a… Read More

Cat Chow {River Cats Baseball Snack}

October 4, 2013July 28, 2015

I was snack mom last week for our (too) late seven thirty p.m. game and figured the parents would be beating a path to the exit just as soon as the last second ran off the clock.  To this end, I put together bags of “Cat Chow” for our River Cats so that they could… Read More

Halloween Chalkboard Art Tutorial

October 3, 2013July 28, 2015

So, kinda like the chalk paint craze, I am pretty tardy to the chalkboard art party.  Last year when I decked out the porch for Halloween, my fish painting bothered me in the background – taunting me with is springy-ness and reminder of summers past.  When Honey said he had a great board for it… Read More

Beware, Haunted

October 2, 2013July 28, 2015

Come inside… if you dare! A huge spider makes his way up the front facade, while pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns adorn the porch.  The Bronwyn Hanahan Candy Corn hangs on the door.   Now, enter at your own risk!  A bevy of black crows have taken over the foyer, and bats are flying rampant.  Not to… 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!
