Making Halloween Happy {Mummy Dogs & Other Festivities}

October 31, 2022November 3, 2022

The boys both rushed in from school, landing for just enough time to scarf down some supper before heading back out with friends. Our usual Halloween supper is Mummy Dogs and I saw no reason to change that! I made chili the night before and it was a nice accompaniment. Mummy Dogs I made jell-o… Read More

Making Halloween Happy {Halloween Eve Birthday Sunday Supper}

October 30, 2022October 31, 2022

We celebrated my mother in law’s birthday tonight with a cozy chili supper! We had a larger celebration with the whole family Friday night, so it was just the five of us this evening. I made our favorite beef chili and set up a few toppings in my Nora Fleming dish. Honey and I went… Read More

Making Halloween Happy {Pre-party Grazing Board & Adult Fun}

October 29, 2022October 31, 2022

Every year our club puts on a FUN adult Halloween party and we love to host our crew for a pre-party to kick off the festivities. We set up a bar with two signature drink options, beer and wine. I used tombstone chalk boards for drink recipes so everyone could make their own. The jello… Read More

Making Halloween Happy {Spooky Waffle Breakfast}

October 28, 2022October 31, 2022

Of all the celebratory breakfasts we’ve had over the years, the boys agreed a while back that chocolate chip waffles are their collective favorite. For that reason, I think every themed breakfast we’ve had since has included chocolate chip waffles. :-) As always, I set the table the night before and had everything ready to… Read More

Slithering into Halloween

October 19, 2022October 20, 2022

I mentioned on my Haunted Halloween Home Tour that I went with a much more subdued look this year on the porch. I was inspired by a snake candle holder and decided a new piece of art for the fireplace was in order. I started with a blank white canvas, a can of gold spray… Read More

What We’re Watching {Halloween Ends}

October 18, 2022October 19, 2022

I typically queue up a bunch of super scary thriller reads starting October 1, but this year I’m going about my Halloween a little differently. Since October 1, I have binged every single movie in the Halloween Series! Of course the original one and two are my faves, but it was so much fun to… Read More

Haunted Halloween Home Tour 2022 {Porch}

October 15, 2022October 17, 2022

Fall on the porch is our favorite time of year. Our doors have been thrown open for a couple of weeks now, and we are all enjoying doing our thing out here – be it work, reading, homework, a nap or mindlessly scrolling social media. I went more neutral than ever before out here, swapping… 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!

As I hung our graduation door hanger, it hit me that this is the last time I’ll ever decorate for a new school year.

Here to make every “last” count. Let’s go class of 2027!
