Fall Football Door Hangers

My front porch has been a bit dismantled during the bathroom renovations, as it was the main entrance used by everyone for the last five weeks!  I just got everything put back together and fluffed up a bit this morning and it feels so good to be reclaiming our home.

I’m using my Bronwyn Hanahan football on the front door, which I had made for Georgia Tech.  She can do any team – high school, club, college, pro, you name it!  It is really hard to find cute GT stuff, even in Atlanta.

My ferns took a turn for the worse when we were out of town for a week in July and our sprinkler system was accidentally turned off.  I have been trying to pour life back into them ever since in hopes that they make it through Christmas like in past years.

I did a fun combination of ribbon and pom poms on the dogs this month!

Hey y’all!  Come on in!!

After coming home to a dismal state of affairs on our side door, I finally spent about $10 and invested 10 minutes to spruce it up.  My GT burlee was hanging on an ugly command hook, and my shamrocks were all but dead.  I added a blue and white polka dot bow to cover the command hook.

It’s still 90+ degrees here and WAY too early for pansies so I bought my first ever mum.  I just don’t love them.  I literally thought I was the only mum hater out there until I shared this tid-bit on Instagram and was overwhelmed with replies that y’all generally dislike them too.  :-)  Who knew?!

The side door looks SO much more inviting after that quick little update – even a mum is better than a dead anything.

I hope that all of you in the path of Florence are staying safe.  I know it was an incredibly stressful week preparing for the unknown, and it seemed like this storm was all over the place.

Remembering 9/11

I don’t think most adult Americans will ever wake up on September 11 and not remember the events that unfolded seventeen years ago.  I was at work in downtown Atlanta at Coke and it was terrifying.  We were all gathered around the tv in the conference room on the 11th floor trying to make sense… Read More

Make This, Not That {Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes}

I have been sharing our Sunday Suppers, School Night Suppers and various other recipes for years.  I sometimes just skip over things that weren’t a hit and don’t ever share.  For a change, I have a series of recipes here that I’m calling Make This, Not That.  Haha!  The first installment is meatloaf and mashed… Read More

Boys Bathroom {Week 5 Construction Update: Vanity, Shower Fixtures & Glass}

The boy’s vanity top is in and looks wonderful!  It came with the piece so was something I didn’t have to choose.  I did pick the faucet and I am really happy with it.  Most importantly, it is STURDY.  I also like the angular shape of it, particularly for the boys. Like in the master,… Read More

Master Bathroom {Week 5 Construction Update: Lighting, Shower Fixtures + Glass}

I can hardly believe that we wrapped up week 5 with this amount of progress – we have a fully functioning shower and electrical and are so close to the finish line. The electrician was back to install the sconces, recessed lighting and outlets.  We decided to go with outlets with USB options which I… Read More
