Musings

January 24, 2023January 17, 2023

It’s been a good long while, so here’s a fun dump of things on my phone and on my mind. The boys asked their uncle for one thing this Christmas – a gallon – EACH – of his chili. I love that he delivered just that. This kid has been dazzling us with his sense… Read More

Sunday Supper {Thai Chicken Meatball Khao Soi}

January 22, 2023August 14, 2023

One of our favorite dinners in Sun Valley was at Rickshaw. And one of our favorite dishes on the table was the Chang Mai Curry Noodles. When I came across this Thai Chicken Meatball Khao Soi Recipe at Half Baked Harvest, I thought the taste could be similar. It didn’t end up super close, but… Read More

So I Cleaned the Oven

January 21, 2023January 17, 2023

I spent the first day of this brand new year doing something v exciting. Cleaning the oven. :-) It was the very first item checked off of my January Junk Out Jamboree. I posted a snap on Instagram and was taken aback by how many people asked how I accomplished this feat. And so, here… Read More

Sports Hall of Fame {Brunch & Induction}

January 18, 2023January 18, 2023

I’m back today with part two of Honey’s special weekend! On Saturday morning all of the Hall of Fame Inductees gathered in the school rotunda for a lovely brunch overlooking the football field. I loved that our brunch started in prayer led by their Young Life Leader from the early 90s. He is still active… Read More

CeeCee Turns Ten!

January 15, 2023January 17, 2023

I can hardly believe my precious niece and “bestie” turns TEN today! It truly feels like yesterday when I first held and laid eyes on this precious girl at Piedmont Hospital. It was there in her recovery room that Sister said to me “we can share her”. And from that moment forward, I’ve always been… Read More

On My Bedside {12 Books in 12 Months}

January 13, 2023January 4, 2024

I see a lot of lofty reading goals on social media but decided to go with one a little more achievable, knowing myself. I don’t remember much from my days at Coke, and I certainly don’t miss setting annual objectives, but I do know how to make a SMA(chievable)RT goal. Is that even still a… Read More

January 12, 2023January 13, 2023

During the busy holiday season, my sweet friend “blonde” AW and I took time out to attend a Sip & Script class together. This was such a FUN girls night out with a delicious dinner and a little creative learning to boot. All of your supplies – as well as an instructor – are included.… 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!
