A New Chapter

November 26, 2023January 12, 2024

I can so vividly remember holding John in my arms for the first time that it seems as if it could have been mere minutes ago. In those early days it feels as if you’ll live a lifetime prior to that newborn becoming an adult. Well, in what seems like the blink of an eye,… Read More

November 11, 2023November 11, 2023

I’m back today to wrap up John’s senior homecoming! Since his group was so large (40 kids), he asked if we could host the dinner at our house and said the teens agreed on wanting to have Willy’s cater the meal. I was thrilled to accommodate these amazing kids and set to work! A team… Read More

HOCO 2023 {Senior Picture Party}

November 10, 2023November 11, 2023

John and friends did their homecoming photos at the home of a wonderful family in our community that hosts them for Young Life. They pour into these teens in every way, and were so sweet to open their home to them once again. John attended with a beautiful friend. I loved her flowers SO MUCH!… Read More

Fall Porch Dinner

November 7, 2023November 7, 2023

After the Memorial Golf Tournament this weekend, Honey and his golf partners and spouses joined us for a lovely evening. It was the perfect fall evening, with every color of foliage, amazing temps and a roaring fire on the porch. We started with some light apps, including the whipped goat cheese I’ve been taking everywhere… Read More

Making Halloween Happy {Bestie Craft-oween Party}

October 29, 2023October 31, 2023

I was absolutely thrilled that CeeCee invited me over for a “Bestie Craft-oween Party” this weekend. She planned the most fun little afternoon of all of our favorite things – food, crafts and girl talk! Oh, and we had a Halloween play list going throughout the party. First on her agenda were these darling char-boo-terie… Read More

Survivor Lunch

October 18, 2023October 18, 2023

My sweet friend JW put up a brave and admirable fight against breast cancer and a group of us were absolutely thrilled to host a lunch to celebrate the joyful news: SHE IS CANCER FREE! I thought I’d share a few photos from our perfectly pink afternoon. LH and I arrived early to set up… 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!
