Musings

January 19, 2013July 28, 2015

Y’all were so so sweet to leave Honey all those comments yesterday.  He’s quite a catch :-)  Someone asked for a picture of his Christmas beard and, unfortunately (?), he broke a long standing tradition when he shaved it early this year for a holiday party.  The really interesting thing is that it was not… Read More

Y’all, I am positively thrilled to have Honey with us today sharing one of his recent DIY projects.  So, without further ado, I turn over the reins to Honey… I know that Amanda recently shared the two paintings we had our family friend, Mary Pratt, paint for her Christmas present.  One of the things I… Read More

On My Bedside {Shadow Man}

January 17, 2013July 28, 2015

Y’all, I spent a few nights over the holidays engrossed and enthralled with The Shadow Man by Savannah native Mark Murphy.  A psychological thriller set in sultry Savannah, I found book to be a beguiling page turner and one of the best reads to have graced my bedside in a good long while. Goodreads says: … Read More

Welcome to the World

January 16, 2013July 28, 2015

It was with great joy and much love that we welcomed Caroline Causey to the world this afternoon. Baby CeeCee weighed in at 5lbs 10oz, measured 18 inches, and won all of our hearts in a matter of seconds.  Sister and her Mister literally beamed and big brother Jay could not have been sweeter or… Read More

Weekend in Review

January 13, 2013July 28, 2015

We are winding down a positively glorious weekend in the South.  One where the shorts came out, the windows went up and as much time as possible was spent outside.   We roasted marshmallows in the evenings. We enjoyed breakfast (and lunches and suppers) on the porch.   We spent a lazy Saturday afternoon at… 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!
