Daily Delight {Lattice Top Pie Crust + Recipe}

July 12, 2017December 3, 2024

I’m giving the boys a week off of their Summer Fun series and popping in with a video tutorial on how to make lattice top pie crusts.  This simple technique really dresses them up and gives a professional finishing touch!   The only tool you need for this crust is the fluted pastry wheel. The… Read More

Hot Tomato Grits

July 9, 2017July 8, 2017

I shared this pic on Instagram one morning while in Savannah and got a slew of messages asking for the recipe!  This is a bowl Mother’s absolutely delicious hot tomato grits.  We eat it mostly for breakfast at home, but sometimes as a side dish at suppertime.  She’s been making it for as long as… Read More

Holy Shitake

July 8, 2017July 8, 2017

Over one of our lacrosse weekends, my friend Laurie kept raving about the Holy Shitake pizza at Mellow Mushroom.  I mean, I just wasn’t really convinced in spite of the fact that I’ve liked everything else she has ever had me put in my mouth.  When we found ourselves ravenous after a long day on… Read More

Summer Fun {Dry Ice}

June 28, 2017January 15, 2021

We missed our Summer Fun installment last week due to weather, and then this week our plans took a left turn when John came home jazzed about dry ice after a sleepover.  As y’all know by now, I’ve turned the video reins over to the boys this summer to help them hone their skills in… Read More

Sunday Supper {Caprese Salad}

June 25, 2017June 22, 2017

Our go-to salad this supper couldn’t be easier to put together!  I am sure I’m not telling y’all anything you don’t know, but I figure it was worth mentioning since it has never occurred to me to make a caprese salad at home. It all started when I ordered one at Disney and the boys… Read More

I Love {Catan}

June 24, 2017June 22, 2017

Sister’s family gave Honey the game Catan for his birthday and we have played it at the dinner table probably five out of seven nights every week all summer.  I really can’t recommend it enough!!  (As an aside, I had to chuckle when Whit was on the phone with Sister last week saying “we got this really… Read More

Life Hack {Dispensing Medicine} + A Winner

June 21, 2017June 22, 2017

Whit came down with an ear infection a couple of weeks ago and was put on an antibiotic for 10 days.  If you’re anything like me, or your household is anything like mine, this gets real hard to keep track of real quick.  On approximately day 2, it’s a stream of questions morning and night…… 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!
