Pop In & Sip Awhile {Cozy Cocoa Edition}

February 6, 2026April 18, 2026

Pop In & Sip Awhile officially kicked off in December with our Pickle Martini Night. January brought the “Cozy Cocoa Edition”, and if the first two months are any indication, this gathering already feels like a keeper. The idea is simple: a casual, drop-in open house featuring one signature drink, no formal invites, no pressure… Read More

Pop In & Sip Awhile {Dixie Dill-ightful Pickle Martini}

January 9, 2026April 18, 2026

Last month, Honey and I started talking about doing something new in 2026. Nothing fancy or formal. Just an easy, come as you are way to open our home once a month and gather friends around one good drink. Each month we would pick something we were inspired by, throw open the doors, and get… Read More

For our New Year’s Eve soirée, that detail came in the form of the cutest personalized cups! If you’ve followed along here or on Instagram this year, you know my favorite trick of 2025 has been… Read More

A Homemade Cookie Cake for New Year’s Eve

Happy New Year!! I brought a cookie cake to our New Year’s Eve celebration this year and I have to tell you… it was an absolute hit. The littles, the teens, the adults – everyone raved.

Farewell 2025

December 31, 2025January 1, 2026

We spent the final hours of 2025 in the same way we have for the past few years – in the company of dear friends, gathered around a table set with beauty and intention, and surrounded by the sweetest mix of laughter and love. It was the loveliest little celebration with a divine meal thoughtfully… Read More

Making Christmas Merry {Merry Little Mahjong Party}

December 18, 2025December 18, 2025

For the past few years, I’ve hosted a Mom’s Merry Little Night Out – Favorite Things Christmas party and it has always been such a highlight of the season. This year, knowing I wanted to gather my mahjong girls for something festive, it just made sense to combine the two. There’s so much overlap in… 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!
