Symphony Brownies

February 9, 2023February 9, 2023

Before the boys came along, I made Symphony Brownies all.the.time. They are incredibly simple and next level delicious. And then, one day, I could no longer find Symphony Hershey Bar! I was SO excited to find them at Mother’s Wal Mart over Christmas break. I resisted the urge to buy them out, and just carried… Read More

On My Bedside {The London House}

February 8, 2023February 9, 2023

I recently finished The London House by Katherine Reay and still find it comes to mind when I least expect it. It will come as no surprise, I’m sure, that I chose another book set in World War II. This one hops between present day and England and Paris in the 1930s. It is the… Read More

Game Day Snacks {Amanda’s Easy Chili Dip}

February 5, 2023April 2, 2025

Y’all, this chili dip is SO easy and SO good that I’ve been making it since I was fresh out of college when I could barely boil an egg. It’s a staple when the boys’ friends are over and it’s perfect for Superbowl Sunday. You’ll need: Combine everything in a square baking dish and heat… Read More

Sunday Brunch {Easier Cinnamon Rolls}

January 29, 2023January 28, 2023

Looking back, it seems that every January I try a new cinnamon roll recipe. It is probably my family’s number 1, most favorite breakfast indulgence. And, most of our January Saturdays are pretty quiet so I have time to cook. This recipe was delicious and the boys are already asking for it again. I love… Read More

January 28, 2023January 28, 2023

I finished the first read of my 12 Books in 12 Months list and it could not have been a sweeter, more magical way to kick off the year. Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah came recommend by so many of you and was an absolute delight to dive into. It’s hard… Read More

Happy Hour {My First Martini}

January 27, 2023January 29, 2023

Earlier this month I had my first martini – ever. And…. I loved it! When I was little I either ate too many green olives and got sick, or got sick and coincidentally had just eaten green olives. The details are fuzzy but olives are one of the few foods I avoid at all costs.… Read More

What We’re Watching Part 6

January 25, 2023January 19, 2023

We did ALL the binging of shows over the holidays and it felt amazing to not have all the nightly duties that come when school is in session. Here’s my What We’re Watching Part 6 roundup. Wednesday Whit was the first one of us to binge Wednesday. He raved about it for days until we… 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!
