The Bones Birthday Tradition

July 9, 2025July 9, 2025

For John’s sweet sixteen, Sister and her family took him to dinner at Bones Steakhouse, an Atlanta institution. They had such a marvelous time at this milestone age that we proclaimed it a rite of passage for all the cousins! In December, it was Whit’s turn, and just last month we had the honor of… Read More

Holiday Weekend Fun

July 5, 2025July 6, 2025

By kicking off the long holiday weekend at the Braves game Wednesday night, it felt like a full-fledged vacation right here at home! Honey and the boys have played more holes of golf than I can count, grabbing every available tee time they could find. With the boys away, I pulled together a spontaneous game… Read More

July 3, 2025July 4, 2025

We kicked off an extra-long holiday weekend with a night out at the Braves! Thanks to our sweet friends L & J, we enjoyed cheering on the home team from the Truist Club.

Happy Father’s Day

To “Honey”, thank you for being our easy going, hard working, care giving, golf playing, algebra and physics teaching rock. It was a joy to celebrate today with you by arriving in our home away from home :-) And, to have three bonus kids in tow. The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children… Read More

Honey’s 50th Fiesta {The Party}

June 3, 2025June 4, 2025

After much (loving) persuasion from John, Honey finally caved and we got the green light to throw a proper birthday par-tayyyy in his honor! Once we had his blessing, the party planning kicked off. Now, if you know Honey, you know he’s a creature of habit. He lives by the motto, “If it ain’t broke,… Read More

Celebrating Fif-Tee Golf Style!

May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

A couple of weeks ago, I shared how the boys and I have been celebrating Honey every single day this month. Some days were just sweet little gestures—his favorite snack, a kind note, or a chore taken off his plate. But a few turned into truly memorable moments! When I found out he had a… Read More

I can hardly believe it’s time for Whit’s senior p I can hardly believe it’s time for Whit’s senior pictures! We traded Disney for the golf course this time, and our dear friend Kim, who has photographed our family since the boys were tiny, worked her magic once again. I absolutely love these pictures of my “baby” doing what he loves. Class of 2027, it’s your turn! 💙💛 @heyportrayable
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!
