On My Bedside {Hidden Pictures}

January 30, 2025January 30, 2025

With a slow start to the New Year and so many snow days (and no snow days), getting my first book of 2025 under my belt was no problem at all. I chose Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. This one had me hooked from the start. It was engaging, just the right amount of spooky… Read More

On My Bedside {We Used to Live Here}

November 15, 2024November 11, 2024

Every October I try to read something spooky before Halloween. This year it was We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer. While I am not a Reddit user, this book had incredible momentum coming off of that platform and other social media accounts. It was an intriguing read for me – I translated the… Read More

On My Bedside {Outlander Series: Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone}

October 24, 2024October 24, 2024

After a decade hiatus and a two years of sitting on my bedside, I finally completed Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone, the 9th book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. It was wonderful and immersive and like reuniting with old friends. If you haven’t read this series, I urge you to do so.… Read More

On My Bedside {A Court of Thorns and Roses Series}

September 26, 2024September 19, 2024

I spent a chunk of my summer completely immersed in A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas. I loved them so much that I couldn’t even wait on my turn to come up at the library every time I was ready for the next. This was the rare series I purchased outright.… Read More

On My Bedside {Molly The Maid Series: 1 & 2}

September 13, 2024September 13, 2024

Mother loaned me the first two books in the Molly the Maid series by Nita Prose and they were just delightful to read! While both books have a mystery at the heart of the story, this isn’t your ordinary thriller. You can’t help but fall in love with the peculiar and completely charming Molly. I’ve… Read More

{A Lot Of} Listening Lately

August 13, 2024August 7, 2024

I didn’t realize just how many audio books I’d consumed recently until I came to write this recap! I use my local library membership and the Libby app to listen for free. I typically listen while doing any household chore, while soaking in the bath, and when driving alone. I’m Glad My Mom Died I’m… Read More

Listening Lately {3 Audio Books}

April 2, 2024March 26, 2024

Between a prom dinner for 40, the kitchen project, getting ready for Spring Break, two varsity sports and my job, life has been bonkers lately. My goal every day is simply to make it to the next day :-) I haven’t had time to pick up an actual book but I plowed through three audio… 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. 🥂
