I picked up the luscious maiden hair ferns at Miracle Greenhouse in Savannah.  And I totally said a little prayer before handing over my credit card that I wouldn’t kill them.  I added a few petunias and am anxiously awaiting the sweet potato vines to make their debut in the nursery.  I can’t even kill those.

When the boys gave me this little gold vase from Target for Christmas, I vowed to keep it filled with flowers.  I’ve had such fun choosing something different and colorful every week or two.  I don’t want tulip season to ever end… I’m still on my couch to 5k program, and bestie M is in… Read More

So y’all… have you ever had a big thing in your life just on the brink of happening but didn’t know how to share the details?  Weeeellllll, last May (as in nearly a year ago), Lisa Mowry (whom I’ve since become friends with!) pitched my porch project to Better Homes and Gardens…and they said YES! … Read More
