The Puzzle of All Puzzles

January 29, 2016February 2, 2016

I’m sure this statement is going to have y’all all “tell me something I didn’t know”, but we LOVE games and puzzles around these parts.  Like big puffy heart love.  In the summer, we often play cards and dominoes on the porch, but in the winter we tend to lean towards board games and puzzles.… Read More

Bertie Botts Every Flavor Cereal

January 28, 2016February 2, 2016

John’s latest school project was a “Cereal Book Report”.  Based on a book they were currently reading, they had to invent a cereal and then make a commercial to promote it.  As luck would have it, he is the throes of the Harry Potter series.  I mean, thank goodness!!!  His obsession with all things Potter… Read More

On My Bedside {Beach Town}

January 27, 2016February 2, 2016

Mother lent me Beach Town by Mary Kay Andrews and it made for a fantastic vacation read while down at Disney (… in September… this post has been lost in the drafts).    She is one of my very favorite authors and I always look forward to her new releases.  Many of them are set… Read More

Geode Box {DIY}

January 26, 2016August 13, 2016

At long, long last I am going to bring y’all up to speed on my powder room.  Remember this? The crux of the matter is that I finished it in the One Room Challenge 6-week time frame.  And I despised it.  Like, hated it more than any room I’ve ever done.  Never again, friends.  (More… Read More

Sunday Supper {Three Bean Cassoulet}

January 24, 2016

While we had this yummy dish for a Sunday Supper, it could just as well be dubbed a School Night Supper because it doesn’t require a bunch of prep work and it cooks entirely in one pot.  I LOVE one pot meals!!  This particular cassoulet is yummy and filling on a chilly winter night. Three… Read More

Southern Snow Day

January 23, 2016

Well y’all, it seems the blizzard of 2016 has come and gone in Georgia.  Here’s how Atlantans prepare for and survive a whole half an inch of snow. You brave the treacherous roads (lol) for takeout because you don’t know when you’ll find your next meal.  Chinese and Taco Bell for this group.  Meanwhile you don’t… Read More

Tales from the Doctor

January 22, 2016January 22, 2016

Every year I take the littles for their well visits, and every year I come home with a tall tale to tell. In 2012  John literally begged the doctor not to recommend screen time limits.  And the baby apparently traveled to the visit with fifteen toys hidden away in his undies. In 2013 they dazzle the… 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!

As I hung our graduation door hanger, it hit me that this is the last time I’ll ever decorate for a new school year.

Here to make every “last” count. Let’s go class of 2027!
