Big Thank You

The Bert Show, a local Atlanta morning show, is collecting letters of thanks so that every single soldier stationed or deployed outside the United States can receive a letter of gratitude on Thanksgiving Day.
Honey and I took this opportunity to talk to the littles about the bravery of these individuals and the great sacrifice that they make every single day so that we can enjoy the freedoms and rights synonymous with our great country.  We sat down as a family and put pen (and markers and crayons) to paper to each write two letters for this great cause.  It was the least we could do to help ensure ALL of our 400,000+ fellow Americans stationed abroad receive a BIG THANK YOU this holiday season!!!

Letters are due by Friday October 28.  See specifics and details here.

Proud to be an American.  Today and every day!
xoxo

Southern Coastal

In a guest post over at Completely Coastal a few weeks back, I was delighted to share my marsh inspired color palette and the accessories that bring it full circle. A DIY oyster shell frame on the foyer table.  See how here! Signed prints from my favorite coastal artist and one-time Savannahian, Ray Ellis, in the… Read More
