Chocolate Bunny Easter Table

April 24, 2025April 22, 2025

Seeing as I had not planned on hosting a crowd for Easter, this really came together in a pinch. I can seat 10 in my dining room but 11 is really pushing it… especially when 8 are man sized. I set up two folding tables in the courtyard and collected chairs from around the yard… Read More

Master’s Sunday Lunch at Home & Watch Party

April 17, 2025April 17, 2025

Honey and Whit watched the Master’s all week from Whistler and were pleased as punch to be back home for the big day on Sunday. It’s one of the few days a year Honey wants to park himself in front of the TV and do nothing. Like I’ve done pretty much every Master’s we’ve been… Read More

New Orleans School of Cooking Jambalaya Once again, I made jambalaya for our main course using the recipe we learned at the New Orleans School of Cooking. That was such… Read More

Sips & Suits {February Galentine’s Mahjong}

February 21, 2025February 13, 2025

After setting up our group and teaching the crew the game last month, we had our first evening of mahjong last week and it was a huge success! I already had Valentine’s touches up around the house, so things felt festive. We had 16 players and set up 4 tables – 2 in the den,… Read More

Valentine’s Day Fun {Galentine’s Cocktail}

February 13, 2025February 13, 2025

I had the ladies over for a Galentine’s Mahjong night and these rose ice cubes were such a hit! I filled the silicone mold with Cranberry Raspberry Juice and a little edible glitter. I served them with sparkling rose. Easy, beautiful and tasty! Sources: I’ll be using this again for our annual Derby Day dinner!… Read More

Celebrating Juju’s 80th!

January 31, 2025January 30, 2025

Gosh this post is tardy, but I didn’t want to skip it all together. Waaaaay back in October we celebrated Juju’s 80th birthday!! Her favorite color is green and she’s an exceptional gardener so it was only appropriate to incorporate those details into the festivities. We spent an evening celebrating the birthday girl over a… Read More

Making the Penguin Cake

January 22, 2025January 22, 2025

The cake at Whit’s penguin party was a HUGE hit with the boys. It was so easy to make and I had fun getting creative with it. Much like the hibachi dinner, there wasn’t a scrap left! By dixiedelights | Filed under celebrate | Tags: diy, parties, recipes, sweets and treats Share

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!
