As Father’s Day draws to a close, I am so very thankful for both the father that raised me and the father that’s raising my littles. I’m grateful for their kind hearts and I love them both with all of mine. I’ve written about loving these two, and today I’m going to share how proud I am of them. I’m so proud of my Daddy. He’s a self-made man. He’s only in his sixties and he’s retired. He’s never met a stranger. He outright owns one of the most beautiful homes on one of the most beautiful properties in Savannah. He’s incredibly loyal. He’s insanely smart (and will deny that fact to his grave.) He lost more than a hundred pounds through diet and exercise. He’s got a quick smile and a kind heart. He loves me unconditionally. And I am proud to be his daughter. 
I’m equally as proud of my husband. He too is a self-made man. He has a heart of gold and loves his family with every fiber of his being. He traded a promising and well paying but travel intensive career for one that would have him at home with us every day of every year. He’s the most patient man I’ve ever known. He’s never, ever raised his voice in my presence. Ever. He’s a quiet genius. He’s the handsomest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. He shares my hopes and dreams. And I am proud to be his wife. 
Happy Father’s Day, y’all! xoxo

Dallas
I don’t know about y’all but I’ve lightly mourned the loss of the great television soap operas I grew up on (you know, the likes of Days of Our Lives and Guiding Light) for a few years now. So, I was beyond excited to have this little piece of American nostalgia back for consumption by… Read More
On My Bedside
At the expense of my full DVR, I’ve been spending my evenings after the littles are in bed reading rather than watching the tele. The Night Circus This is a beautifully written and mesmerizing story. I enjoyed every word on every page. I very, ever so rarely read a book twice, but if I did… Read More
Powder Room {Before & After}
I have finally procured a piece of art for the one big wall in the powder room and am beyond thrilled to cross another room off the impressively extensive list we started with three years ago. (Though, serial decorators never really cross anything off the list for too long.) Here’s the before. Unlike in the… Read More
A Little Southern Gentleman
Blonde AW (as I’m now calling my bestie down the road) and I were positively delighted to host a Southern themed soiree in celebration of our dear friend Amanda (also known as “Blonde Amanda” and “Reese’s Doppleganger” on this here blog) and her little Southern gentleman on the way. Find the invitation in my… Read More
Porch Progress {Week 7}
*womp womp* No progress to report on the porch. Zip. Zilch. Nada. I know, I know, good things come to those who wait, and I have no doubt that it’ll blow my skirt up when done. Trouble is, waiting comes hard for this admitted instant gratification gal. So… for this week’s edition of Porch Progress,… Read More
