November 27, 2018November 27, 2018

It is hard to believe that many of you have been around since John’s first birthday celebration on the blog.  I started Dixie Delights right after he turned 5, and number 6 was the first one I shared here. Well, seven years later and and that cutie is thirteen!  In lieu of a birthday dinner… Read More

November 16, 2018November 17, 2018

The best and most anticipated gift of our Christmas is always the “DO” gift.  It has involved everything… Read More

On My Bedside {Legend}

November 15, 2018February 26, 2019

My last book conquest was from my 7th grade reading list – Legend by Marie Lu.  Honey read it a few years ago and said it was great.  I really enjoyed it as well and recommend picking it up!  My actual 7th grader hasn’t started it yet, but I think (hope… pray…) that he will… Read More

Winter Luxuries

November 14, 2018November 17, 2018

I came home from sunny California last Friday night to rain and cold.  And it literally has not stopped since.  I suppose that is fine – I have been working non-stop 12 hour days since then.  My job is feast or famine :-)  On the bright side, since I’ve been cooped up at home, I’ve… Read More

Sunday Supper {Honey Butter Rolls}

November 11, 2018November 30, 2018

We have these parkerhouse style rolls at least once a week and they are a foolproof favorite!  I am calling them part of “Sunday supper” because you do have to remember to take them out to thaw first thing in the morning. The dough comes in a yellow bag in the freezer section of the… 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!
