St. Patrick’s Eve Entertaining

March 17, 2013July 28, 2015

We wrapped up a gorgeous Southern Saturday with a super impromptu gathering of neighbors for corned beef sandwiches.  At five p.m. we had plans for one couple to come down, I ran to the grocery store at six and by seven there were seventeen of us.  It’s one of the things I love love love… Read More

The Naughty Leprechaun Story

March 15, 2013February 16, 2016

Last night kicked off what I hope will become a new tradition in our household – The Naughty Leprechaun Story by Atlanta mom Stephanie Hicks! While we were away in Savannah, it seems a pair of leprechaun twins left us with their story and our very own golden coin.  What luck! I (literally) threw together… Read More

Mother Makes {DIY Door Decor from Screens}

March 14, 2013March 11, 2017

When on our Tuesday shopping spree, Mother and I fell in love with the door decor at Matty’s ($45) and set out yesterday to make our own! We made three – for both of us and Sister – and are beyond thrilled with how they turned out!!  (Note, this was before we touched up paint… Read More

Savannah: The Pillows (to go with THE drapes)

March 13, 2013July 28, 2015

I carted my extra coral fabric down to Savannah and Mother just whipped up a few new pillow covers to compliment the drapes that dreams are made of…   I just slipped them in a few pillow forms she already had but they are a bit smaller than mine back at home. I have a… Read More

Savannah: Shopping

March 13, 2013July 28, 2015

When the baby sweetly asked his Ampa “Can I stay home with you and be very good today?”, Mother and I did a little jig as we knew there was no way he’d get turned down :-)  We literally ran out the door before anyone could change their minds. We started at Sweet Tea in… Read More

Savannah: Byrd’s Cookie Bar + Catherine Lovett

March 12, 2013July 28, 2015

The baby has been a little under the weather the last day or so, but was back to himself by the end of the day.  Some of my parent’s oldest friend’s lost their mother so we delivered a meal and visited with them for a little while before heading to a late lunch at Byrd’s… Read More

Savannah: Irish Parade + An Old Fave

March 10, 2013July 28, 2015

We kicked off our day with lunch at Tybee Social Club – one of our favorite beach haunts – before heading over to a friend’s beach place for a pre-parade party.   The parade rolled promptly at three and it was smiles, beads and candy all around for the next hour!   Mother and Daddy-O… 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!
