Listening Lately {One Perfect Lie}

March 21, 2023March 21, 2023

I often have a podcast, an audio book, a Netflix series and an actual book that I am engaged in at the same time. I listen to things while doing house work, walking or driving solo. I watch Netflix while walking on the tread. And, I read at night. I always choose audio books that… Read More

Listening Lately {We Were Never Here}

March 3, 2023March 3, 2023

I feel like I have become another victim of the digital age, unable to do just one thing at a time. So, while I love to read a real book, I almost always am listening to another book and at least one podcast. I tend to listen when the boys aren’t in the car and… Read More

On My Bedside {The London House}

February 8, 2023February 9, 2023

I recently finished The London House by Katherine Reay and still find it comes to mind when I least expect it. It will come as no surprise, I’m sure, that I chose another book set in World War II. This one hops between present day and England and Paris in the 1930s. It is the… Read More

On My Bedside {12 Books in 12 Months}

January 13, 2023January 4, 2024

I see a lot of lofty reading goals on social media but decided to go with one a little more achievable, knowing myself. I don’t remember much from my days at Coke, and I certainly don’t miss setting annual objectives, but I do know how to make a SMA(chievable)RT goal. Is that even still a… 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. 🥂
