On My Bedside {The Giver}

April 29, 2020April 29, 2020

While sheltering at home, I read The Giver by Lois Lowry and savored every word on every page. What an amazing book!! While it seems to be very well known, it never crossed my radar until it was assigned to John as required reading a few months ago. He said it was the best book… Read More

On My Bedside {Sometimes I Lie}

April 21, 2020April 22, 2020

I finished up Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney a couple of weeks ago and liked it! It’s yet another title in the psychological thriller genre. Shocking, right? The story was unique in that it is primarily told from the main character while in a coma. Along those lines, it is highly unbelievable, but I… Read More

On My Bedside {Before She Knew Him}

March 20, 2020March 20, 2020

I’ve been on a real run of titles in the psychological thriller genre since October. Last week I finished Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson. It was creepy and twisted and I really liked it! This isn’t one where you can’t wait to turn the page, but rather one where you aren’t sure what… Read More

On My Bedside {The Wife Between Us}

February 25, 2020February 26, 2020

The Wife Between Us is another good book the suspense genre I have been powering through lately. The description gives you zero detail on what you’re about to dive into, so I went in relatively blind. And, to be honest, it made the book that much more enjoyable! There were a couple of major twists… Read More

On My Bedside {The Other Woman}

February 12, 2020February 12, 2020

I recently read The Other Woman by Sandie Jones. I didn’t read the back of the book and went into this one blind. In the end, that worked in my favor because I had no idea what was happening for a good ways into the book. When I figured it out I thought WOW! This… Read More

On My Bedside {The Breakdown}

January 29, 2020January 29, 2020

Coming on the heels of Behind Closed Doors, I was super excited to crack open the cover of The Breakdown, also by B. A. Paris. It has a great, engaging start, a rather boring middle, and then finishes up with an ending that I didn’t see coming. Overall, it is a good read and my… Read More

Little Women

January 16, 2020January 15, 2020

Bestie M went to see Little Women Monday night and it was just wonderful. I read the books a couple of times, in middle school and again in high school. I was so enamored by the March sisters. As y’all know, “Marme” is the name Sister and I have used for Mother since the beginning… Read More

Once I decided to have a party, the vision came to Once I decided to have a party, the vision came together quickly. I fell in love with a bottle of Chloe wine with a black bow standing in the aisle at Publix in Savannah… and the rest was history.

While pink would have been the obvious choice for me, I loved the idea of something more classic. Black and white, bows and a few (okay, a lot) monograms woven in.

I wanted everything to feel pulled together but still warm. The kind of space where you walk in and immediately feel like you’re somewhere special.

Every ribbon, every layer, every little detail… it all added up to exactly the feeling I was hoping for 

Y’all come on in… 🖤🤍

I have so much to share from my 50th birthday part I have so much to share from my 50th birthday party. It was such a magical evening, and there are so many details to share and moments to convey that I’ve had to really think about where to even begin. So we’ll start here.

I went back and forth for a long time on whether or not to even have a party. Party planning is no small undertaking. But then again… I celebrate everything. And I knew I would be sad if this milestone year came and went without marking it in a meaningful way.

With a little encouragement from Honey, it was a go.

And once I decided, I knew exactly what I wanted. A celebration at our home, filled with the people who have shaped my life. I wanted the whole night to feel like me. And I wanted my guests to feel like they belong the moment they walk in. A night where conversations linger, and where you can look around and think… this is everything.

I’ll be sharing it all, but the beginning felt like the only place to start. 🖤🤍
Today I turn 50. I don’t know that I’ve done Today I turn 50.

I don’t know that I’ve done everything perfectly over the last five decades, but I do know this… I have no regrets. I raised the kids, loved the husband, got the dogs, took the trip, accepted the job, and showed up with my whole heart.

Friday night I celebrated with a house, yard and driveway full of friends and family at the party of my dreams. My parents helped pull it all together, and John rolled into town just in time to join the fun.

This morning started with coffee among the balloons and flowers, bagels from my favorite spot and some of  the people I love most.

Here’s to the years ahead. Good food, good wine, good friends, belly laughs, Taco Tuesdays and celebrations that don’t wait for an occasion.

Grateful for this life and everyone in it. Cheers to 50. 🥂
