Celebrating the Class of 2024 {Tassel Christmas Ornaments}

February 5, 2025February 6, 2025

Back when I shared our Merry Raider Holiday Party, I promised to get back to you with the details of the grad tree. I had this set up on the porch and decorated with ribbons in their school colors. I made an ornament for each one of the kids using flat plastic fillable ornaments from… Read More

Sunday Supper {Honey Glazed Carrots}

February 2, 2025January 28, 2025

I was talking to my friend DG one night as I had just started to put together supper. I told her I had a bunch of carrots on the verge of going bad and she sent me this recipe. Oh my – it is delicious! So much so, that we’ve already made it again Glazed… Read More

On My Bedside {Hidden Pictures}

January 30, 2025January 30, 2025

With a slow start to the New Year and so many snow days (and no snow days), getting my first book of 2025 under my belt was no problem at all. I chose Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. This one had me hooked from the start. It was engaging, just the right amount of spooky… Read More

Sunday Supper {Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes}

January 26, 2025January 21, 2025

These sweet potatoes were divine! In full disclosure, Whit and Honey don’t love sweet potatoes. As for me, I prefer them roasted or fried over any type of baked form. That said, I got a bee in my bonnet to try this recipe and they were just sensational. So much so that Whit ate 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!
