On My Bedside {XO: A Kathryn Dance Novel}

April 24, 2019April 25, 2019

I’ve always been a fan of crime, suspense and thrillers and Jeffrey Deaver is one of my favorites. I also enjoy a good heroine, and Kathryn Dance fits the bill for me. My most recent read of his was XO: A Kathryn Dance Novel. It was a page turner and I particularly enjoyed all of… Read More

Happy Easter!

Happy, happy Easter to you and yours! We started this glorious day at mass, with family and friends and classmates and team members. While we enjoyed celebrating Easter at some amazing churches on the road the last two years, there is nothing more special than doing so with your own village. Over all the earth… Read More

I Love {Tidewater Sandals} + Discount Code

A Little Dixie Delights Update

April 17, 2019April 18, 2019

Good morning! I have been working behind the scenes to develop a new look for the Dixie Delights home page. I’m going live in a couple of days for a trial run. As my travel business has grown over the last (almost) two years, I realized the need to make it easier to find blog… Read More

Cornbread Chili Pie

April 13, 2019April 14, 2019

I’ve flipped through Reese’s Whiskey in a Teacup book a number of times, and finally added one of her recipes to the weekly menu – Cornbread Chili Pie. It was absolutely delicious and got rave reviews from the family. It really is a one pot meal (read my note below) and it reheated wonderfully. In… Read More

On My Bedside {Girl on the Train & Into the Water}

April 10, 2019March 24, 2019

I started this post intending to write solely about Into the Water, but soon realized I never did a post on Girl on the Train. Both are by Paula Hawkins in the suspense / thriller genre. The Girl on the Train I love psychological thrillers and was so excited to read The Girl on the… Read More

Cleaning with doTERRA Essential Oils

April 9, 2019March 24, 2019

It’s been a little while since chatting about essential oils here, but I still love them and continue to integrate them into various parts of our lives. I shared back in January that I had purchased these glass spray bottles to use for cleaning. Well, after finally finishing my existing bottles of counter spray and… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
