Sunday Supper {Perfect Roast Chicken}

September 22, 2024September 19, 2024

I’ve roasted many a whole chicken over the years, but this one is quite literally perfect. It was easy, juicy, flavorful and browned up wonderfully. Honey and Whit liked it so much that it made me sad John wasn’t here to enjoy it, too! I’ll definitely do it again – easy, tasty and a good… Read More

Sunday Supper {Perfect Pound Cake}

September 16, 2024September 16, 2024

We are just back from Auburn Family Weekend with full hearts and fantastic memories of our first game day on the Plains. We rented a house at Lake Martin with friends and I carried this pound cake to nibble on during our stay. I have used the same divine pound cake recipe since we were… Read More

On My Bedside {Molly The Maid Series: 1 & 2}

September 13, 2024September 13, 2024

Mother loaned me the first two books in the Molly the Maid series by Nita Prose and they were just delightful to read! While both books have a mystery at the heart of the story, this isn’t your ordinary thriller. You can’t help but fall in love with the peculiar and completely charming Molly. I’ve… Read More

Remembering 9/11

September 11, 2024September 11, 2024

I remember vividly the years when they boys were little and I intentionally didn’t turn on the tv or radio on this day. I couldn’t bear for their innocent minds and pure hearts to know the horror of the real world. As they got older and started to hear about it in school, I was… Read More

September 2, 2024September 4, 2024

Around Atlanta {Bar Blanc}

September 1, 2024September 2, 2024

Since we are *still* having “Freezer Finds” dinners, I thought I’d share our recent double date at Bar Blanc in lieu of Sunday Supper! (Re: Freezer Finds…. Since we took John to Auburn, we’ve been working on cleaning out the freezers, fridge and pantry. This is something that would have gone over like a lead… Read More

A W for the Jackets!

August 31, 2024September 2, 2024

We spent the evening down at Tech for our home opener! First stop – the SAE house where we were SO HAPPY to hug this kid’s neck! He’s one of John’s best friends and pledged Honey’s fraternity. It was *almost* as good for us as seeing John. <3 After tailgating with our college friends down… 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!
