Cruella + The Itsy Bitsy Spider Update

June 16, 2021November 4, 2021

I had a day full of developments regarding my spider bite. Doctors are thinking it was a brown recluse, so it is legitimately itsy bitsy. Here’s an update from this week… I felt like I turned a corner on Monday with this whole thing. My leg really wasn’t in any pain and I finished up… Read More

Around Atlanta {Salaryman}

June 15, 2021June 16, 2021

When I shared about our double date to the Van Gogh Experience, I mentioned that we capped off our night with a delicious dinner! We dined at Salaryman, which is in the Kirkwood area of Atlanta, convenient to Pullman Yards and a delightfully delicious casual dining experience. We started with the TKO and Bees Knees… Read More

Sunday Supper {Beef Sliders with Bacon Jam}

June 13, 2021June 15, 2021

Ooh-wee. I might have bit off more than I could chew at the moment with this recipe! I haven’t felt great enough to be on my feet to cook – and clean up after cooking 0 for WAY too long. John was out at a volunteer job and Honey and Whit at a baseball tournament,… Read More

Happy Hour {Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey}

June 11, 2021June 11, 2021

Happy Friday, friends! I’m not imbibing in cocktails these days but this was a fun one that we enjoyed last month with my family in town. I mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that friends brought Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey to a party and left it with us. Well, I got the most FUN suggestions on… Read More

On My Bedside {Invisible}

June 9, 2021June 9, 2021

When Honey left me in the ER, he handed me a paperback that had been left in our car at some unknown time – Invisible by James Patterson. My phone was not completely charged and he surmised I could use something to keep my mind busy. Wow! This one did the trick. It is a… Read More

Saga of the Spider

June 8, 2021November 4, 2021

Well, I’m back today with another strange tale to tell. You know, things like the cold, flu and even covid don’t get me. Instead, really bizarre off the wall encounters like bats, my appendix and now a spider are more my speed. I am currently recovering from a spider bite and in a detailed wound… Read More

Backyard Huddle {Summer Kickoff}

May 29, 2021May 25, 2021

I shared back in the fall that we were gathering the sixth graders for Backyard Huddles throughout the school year. There is a really small group of kids, just those in our subdivision, that move together to middle school. (The vast majority are districted to a different school.) Along with my co-host and sweet neighbor,… Read More

Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛 Whit decided about 30 minut Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛

Whit decided about 30 minutes before everyone was meeting for pictures that he was going after all! A quick scramble through three boys’ closets produced a suit, and off he went. No haircut, no tie, no problem! Haha!

These lasts are coming fast, and I’m trying to soak up every one!

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!
