Dixie Delights - musings, goings & doings of a so-southern girl

I Love {Peach Skin Sheets}

September 9, 2026September 9, 2026

When we bought our Tempur-Pedic split king earlier this year, I quickly realized that a new bed configuration also meant buying new sheets. A few friends recommended PeachSkinSheets, so I decided to give them a try. Six months later, I liked them enough to buy a second set, which is probably the most useful review… Read More

Labor Day Weekend {A House Full of Auburn Boys}

September 8, 2026September 8, 2026

The week before Labor Day, John texted that he and a few friends were thinking about coming to Atlanta for the Auburn game. This is the first year that he and his friends, now upperclassmen, were able to get the full season ticket package that includes away games, and with Auburn playing Baylor at Mercedes… Read More

Meet Amanda {The Travel Advisor Behind Dixie Travels}

September 7, 2026September 7, 2026

If you’ve been reading Dixie Delights for a while, you already know that travel has always been a big part of our life. Some of our very best family memories have been made with a suitcase in hand, and I have always loved the planning almost as much as the going. What began with a… Read More

Sunday Supper {Tomato & Avocado Salad}

September 6, 2026September 7, 2026

We spent part of Labor Day weekend at a cookout at our neighbors’ house, and when I was trying to decide what to bring, I landed on Ina Garten’s Tomato & Avocado Salad. It was exactly what I wanted for one last summer cookout. Recipe | Cook Like a Pro This is one of those… Read More

Thursday Night on The Flats

September 5, 2026September 4, 2026

There is just something about a Thursday night game at Georgia Tech. They’ve been some of our favorites since we were in school in the ’90s, when campus would fill up in the middle of the week and everything just felt a little more fun. All these years later, not much has changed. Last night… Read More

Pop In & Sip Awhile {Gin & Tonic}

September 4, 2026September 4, 2026

Our August Pop In & Sip Awhile might have been one of the easiest yet, and it was also a huge hit. Honey got to pick the cocktail this month, and he went with a classic Gin & Tonic. I fully supported this decision, especially once I realized how little work it was going to… Read More

The Most Life-Changing Purchase We Made at 50

September 1, 2026September 9, 2026

Nothing says welcome to 50 quite like becoming wildly enthusiastic about your mattress. Forget the sports car or some extravagant midlife crisis. Honey and I bought a bed, and six months later we are still talking about how much we love it. I realize that does not sound particularly exciting, but at this stage 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!
