Sunday Supper {A New Chicken Taco in the House}

July 13, 2025July 14, 2025

For the past three and a half years, this chili lime chicken taco recipe has been a staple in our family’s dinner rotation. It’s bright, zesty, and bursting with flavor – plus it makes enough to stretch into leftovers, which is always a win in my book. Just last month, I found myself craving our… Read More

Around Atlanta {Tiger Sun Cocktail Experience}

July 12, 2025July 12, 2025

Honey and I recently slipped away for our most unique date night of the year so far! Tucked behind Muchacho in Reynoldstown, Tiger Sun is not your average cocktail bar. This is an 18-seat, reservation-only omakase cocktail lounge hidden aboard a vintage tour bus. Each visit is an experience in itself- a tight 90-minute “ride”… Read More

Sips & Suits {July Mahjong}

July 11, 2025July 12, 2025

We had our regularly scheduled monthly mahj last week, but in the whirlwind of chatter and clacking tiles, I didn’t manage to snap a single photo! Sometimes, that’s how you know it was a good one. In addition to our big club meet-up, I found myself hosting an impromptu little morning game over the long… Read More

The Bones Birthday Tradition

July 9, 2025July 9, 2025

For John’s sweet sixteen, Sister and her family took him to dinner at Bones Steakhouse, an Atlanta institution. They had such a marvelous time at this milestone age that we proclaimed it a rite of passage for all the cousins! In December, it was Whit’s turn, and just last month we had the honor of… Read More

On My Bedside {Throne of Glass Series}

July 8, 2025July 8, 2025

I recently wrapped up the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best series I’ve read. This is s strong statement… maybe the best since Harry Potter. I devoured book after book over the course of the spring and summer, and found myself missing the… Read More

Sunday Sweet {Lemon Cake}

July 6, 2025July 6, 2025

I made the most divine lemon cake to enjoy over the long holiday weekend, and not a single crumb was left before we were even halfway through! This one was truly a labor of love … zesting eight lemons and squeezing out every last drop of their juice. (I used the extra juice for fresh… Read More

Holiday Weekend Fun

July 5, 2025July 6, 2025

By kicking off the long holiday weekend at the Braves game Wednesday night, it felt like a full-fledged vacation right here at home! Honey and the boys have played more holes of golf than I can count, grabbing every available tee time they could find. With the boys away, I pulled together a spontaneous game… 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!
