Savannah Day 3: My Parent’s Place

March 10, 2012July 28, 2015

I gave a mini-tour of my parents home all decorated for the holidays and thought it would be fun to share pictures of what their pretty place looks like the other eleven months of the year.

Savannah Day 1: Thirty-five (again)

March 9, 2012July 28, 2015

Today I celebrated thirty-five – I decided last year that thirty-five would be a reasonable age on which to top out, and I must admit it felt good to do it again.  Here’s how I spent the day… Sleeping in late (thanks Mother for watching the baby!) then having brunch on the dock with Mother… 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!
