And Sister and I got away on a wonderful little shopping excursion in historic Savannah for a few hours. Hitting our favorite must shops… The Paris Market French Seltzers + Lavender Shortbread Cookies One Fish Two Fish Savannah Bee Company – honey and mead tasting bars! No. Four Eleven Lunch at B.T. Byrd’s peach sweet tea, parmesan vidalia onion dip, deviled eggs oatmeal cookie sammie with nutella, strawberries and coconut And then we all settled in for a long and game filled afternoon back at home before a divine Neiman Marcus Cajun Fried Turkey dinner compliments of Sister and her Mister. I truly would have taken a picture, but all that was left was the carcass. (And those that know me know I abhor bones.) The littles donned their Christmas jammies and Mimi read them the sweet, sweet Christmas story of The First Night. She then helped them each make a little baby Jesus craft. And before we knew it, it was time for the littles to head off to bed, where visions of sugar plums were sure to dance in their heads. They were out before we knew it, and the elves got to work wrapping gifts. It has become a fun tradition for us to sit up, laugh and tell stories into the wee hours of Christmas morning. Daddy-O breaks out the scotch, Honey brought the chocolate and Sister provided the elderflower cheese and Savannah Bee honey. A pretty divine midnight snack. And just like that, a magical Christmas morning awaits four of the most precious angels… Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. xoxo
Tybee + Cockspur Islands
The weather down here has just been positively gorgeous – seventy and sunny for the first two days of winter. Don’t hate :-) We packed up a cooler and spent our second full day down at Tybee. The littles ran wild – playing football, “digging to China”, making “sand angels”, burying each other, finding shells… Read More

A Southern New Year’s Party {Free Printables}
For as long as we’ve been married, Honey and I have hosted a traditional Southern feast on New Year’s day. And rather than writing about it after the fact, I thought it would be fun to do so before hand since I created a few fun printables for the occasion! THE INVITATION As soon… Read More
Georgia Crafted
I exchanged emails a few weeks ago with kind folks at Georgia Crafted… and then promptly forgot all about it in the midst of Thanksgiving, two birthdays, Christmas preparations, two class parties, the leak in the ceiling, and so on and so forth. So imagine my supreme delight when I trotted out to the curb… Read More
A Twilight Tour
The fleeting minutes of twilight are my favorite time of day. In those few bewitching moments, the sun dips below the horizon and the world just seems to dance and glitter. And the magic and wonder of Christmas is just even more breathtaking! Y’all come in. Can I just say how… Read More
