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

Willow Park Boutique {Another Giveaway + A Winner}

June 15, 2017June 22, 2017

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.  The winner is Keri Michaelis!  The SUPER fun thing about this is that she was randomly selected but I know her in real life.  I don’t think that has ever happened in all the years of my giveaways. Congrats Keri – you will wear these well!!  Send me an… Read More

Summer Fun {3 Step Slime}

June 14, 2017January 15, 2021

I’m back with the boys right on schedule (whew!) with this week’s installment of our summer fun series.  As I mentioned last week, these two have plans to become “professional you tubers” one day.  After letting them take the reins this week I think they need to beef up their excitement level a bit.  And… Read More

Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛 Whit decided about 30 minut Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛

Whit decided about 30 minutes before everyone was meeting for pictures that he was going after all! A quick scramble through three boys’ closets produced a suit, and off he went. No haircut, no tie, no problem! Haha!

These lasts are coming fast, and I’m trying to soak up every one!

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!
