Yesterday I spent a rare little free afternoon with bestie F. For our deliciously impromptu date, we caught a matinee showing of Hope Springs. It wasn’t so much what movie we saw…but that we saw a movie that wasn’t animated, rated G or on Netflix a year after it’s premier. I adore Meryl and, while it certainly wasn’t my favorite flick in the world, it was cute and entertaining and had a real life message. 
The best part of all is that bestie F is the kind of gal that won’t think twice about blowing it out with loads of butter on our popcorn, Junior Mints AND Goobers, and Cokes as large as our handbags. 
And the cherry on top? Afterwards we indulged in BLT Bloody Mary’s – think housemade bacon infused vodka and glasses rimmed with garlic, salt and pepper – at Marlow’s. YUM! 
A fine kick off to a long holiday weekend, if I do say so myself! Now I’ve got to go get the PCP ready for ball practice and run a few errands with the baby before hitting the pool. xoxo

I’m sharing my favorite room as part of the popular Friday series over at Savvy Southern Style today! Which one will it be??? Many, many thanks to the fabulous Kim for having me. She really kind of put me on the blog-land map when she featured a few of my before and afters last year,… Read More
Forever Changed
Today I’m mourning the loss of the PCP’s first front and center tooth and, consequently, his forever changed smile. He lost a few teeth on the bottom over the course of the last year and those were all call for celebration. But this one is different. I love every square inch of that child, but… Read More
Room Mom
Y’all, I am so very excited to be room mom for the PCP’s class this year!! You see, last year I no earthly idea how you’d score a job like this and to say I was slightly devastated when the teacher announced her room mom would be an understatement. So, at our Meet & Greet… Read More
Guest Bathroom {Before and After}
Aside from the gleaming brass and frosted glass on the shower door, the guest bathroom had been so nicely updated we were tempted to forgo this blue monstrosity and use this as the master! Alas, we decided Mother and Daddy-O would be much more likely to come watch the littles with a lovely suite to… Read More
Flick ‘n Float
Honey and the PCP have been looking forward to this annual club tradition all summer long. When the original date got rained out, I’d never seen such sad faces moping around the place. So, last night we finally blew up the floats and headed to the pool for supper and a pool side showing of… Read More
