The Peachtree Road Race {40×41}

July 5, 2015July 30, 2015

Well, we did it y’all… we finished the 46th annual Peachtree Road Race!!!!!!! It’s the largest 10k in the world and an Independence Day tradition for Atlantans!! I’ve lived here for twenty-one years (gulp) and Honey has been here his whole life so it was high time we gave it a go.   We were… Read More

Wanderlust {Helen, Georgia}

June 30, 2015July 30, 2015

I mentioned a few days ago that Honey landed a new job! Well, he had three days off before he started this Monday so we decided to check something off of our 40×40 lists: Shoot the Hooch! We had no real plan, so late the night before we looked at couple of places to put… Read More

Around Atlanta {Starlight Drive-In}

June 26, 2015July 30, 2015

I’ve mentioned a few times that some of our good friends from college own a technical recruiting firm (Hunter Technical Resources).  These guys have been an integral part of Honey’s career for the past ten years, helping him grow and expand into different roles.  Well, out of nowhere, they presented a great opportunity to him… Read More

A 40th Birthday Celebration

May 18, 2015March 20, 2019

After months of planning and daydreaming, Honey’s 40th soiree went off without a hitch. It was the perfect party for the man, with all of his favorite things making an appearance… cheese, beer, moscow mules and yard games. I still relish a mailed invitation, so I designed these for the big event. The forecast for… Read More

Honey Turns 40

May 15, 2015July 31, 2015

Lordy, Lordy, Honey is 40!!  The night before, Mother and I snuck out in the yard and set this up.  Of course it didn’t even occur to us that the sprinklers might come on and douse them before they ever saw the light of day.  Ha!   We celebrated later than evening with our usual… Read More

John Does 10×10

May 3, 2015September 6, 2015

Far be it for John to be left out of anything.  He sat around listening to Honey and I excitedly discuss our respective 40×42 and 40×41 lists and right then and there started drafting his 10×10. John dreams big and this list is by his own hand.  So, without further ado, here we go: 1.… Read More

Honey Does {40×41}

March 23, 2015September 6, 2015

It’s been waaaaaaaay too long since I turned over the reins to Honey (he might disagree).  Here goes…   With Amanda including me in so many items on her 40×40 list, I thought I would put mine together as well.  Call me inspired.  She plans to complete all of hers by the end of her… 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!
