Weekend Wrap Up

September 17, 2012July 28, 2015

We just wrapped up another totally insane weekend and bid farewell to Mother and Daddy-O after a two week eating, sewing, crafting, gaming and going marathon. Like last weekend, this one held two baseball games (the PCP had an outstanding night at pitcher), one baseball practice, a GT football game (where we saw loads of old friends), a pop-in at a neighborhood cookout, a Jimmy Buffet cover band on the driving green, mass, a day trip to Senoia (and the Southern Living Idea House!!) and a family dinner out. And I have precisely ONE picture to show for it it (outside of our Senoia trip that I’ll share tomorrow)…

I’m generally not one to wish away time, but I absolutely positively cannot wait for next weekend to arrive. One baseball game. And mass on Sunday. Sounds divinely manageable.

With that, it’s high time I hit the hay!
xoxo

Flashback Friday {Pink and Chocolate Dessert Party}

September 14, 2012July 28, 2015

Y’all, this affair in celebration of my thirtieth birthday seems like eons ago. (Which is strange considering I’m not a day older than thirty and a half.) I had a three month old and didn’t want to spend my day slaving over party food so we went with a pink and chocolate dessert and cocktails… Read More

All Dolled Up

September 14, 2012July 28, 2015

Yesterday I dolled the baby up and carted him out for his three-and-a-half year formal portrait. Since I had already cajoled him into the little button on, I snapped a few of my own in the back yard in his “new” antique chair. It was nothing short of a miracle that he didn’t get a… Read More

If you love a good before and after chair project as much as I do then you’re in for a treat today! Remember this sad little chair that shared in my big boy room kick off? Weeeeeelllllll, a couple of yards of fabric and a trip to my favorite upholsterer later and she’s sporting a… Read More

Eleven Years After 9.11

September 12, 2012July 28, 2015

It’s been eleven years since the day that forever changed our country. Source I’ve been struggling with how to share 9.11 with John and I just don’t think he’s ready to bear the weight of the day’s events just yet. He’s prone to worrying and we believe that every day of blissful, childhood innocence is… Read More

Storm Snack

September 11, 2012July 28, 2015

Fall ball is underway and we’ve already scratched our snack duty off the list! Since our assigned game time fell between meals, I put together Storm Snack bags for the team. Everything was red and black to go along with our colors. Sources: black sacks and clear bags from Michael’s; Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies… Read More
