On My Bedside {Imaginary Friend}

January 11, 2022January 12, 2022

It’s been a while since I shared my recent reads, and they’ve piled up a bit! Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky was a page turner (mostly). It was suspenseful and intense. My only complaint is that it was too long – started strong and then could have ended just as strong if it didn’t get… Read More

Listening Lately {For Your Own Good}

November 17, 2021November 14, 2021

I’ve been catching up on things I’ve been reading and listening to lately and have another one to share today! I really enjoyed the audio book of For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing. I loved the setting (prestigious private school), characters (teachers, parents, students) and plot twists in this twisted psychological thriller. I somewhat… Read More

On My Bedside {Eight Perfect Murders}

November 10, 2021November 11, 2021

I recently finished Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson, a new to me author. This psychological thriller tells the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation when a killer uses his list of fiction’s most ingenious murders as a reference guide. Years ago, bookseller and mystery aficionado Malcolm… Read More

On My Bedside {The Wrong Family}

November 2, 2021November 3, 2021

I just finished The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher and thoroughly enjoyed it! The storyline is unlike many in this genre, and it’s engaging, suspenseful and a true page-turner. I was hesitant to pick it at the get-go due to lackluster reviews. I’m really glad I gave it a chance. Have you ever been wrong… Read More

Listening Lately {The Last Thing I Told You}

September 4, 2021September 6, 2021

I just finished up The Last Thing I Told You by Emily Arsenault. This psychological thriller is about the murder of a psychologist (of all things) in a quiet New England town. It was well written but not entirely captivating until the end. Was it worth listening to for 9 hours of what would have… Read More

Listening Lately {One By One}

August 20, 2021August 10, 2021

I recently did a little Instagram poll to ask what y’all do while folding laundry. The overwhelming replies were audiobook, podcast and tv/movie/netflix. It sounds like moms everywhere make the most of every minute. I traded in podcasts for audiobooks in early 2020 when my favorite podcasts just didn’t have any new episodes coming out.… Read More

On My Bedside {The Women of Chateau Lafayette}

August 3, 2021August 4, 2021

I recently finished The Women of Chateau Lafayette by Stephanie Dray and I hated turning that last page and knowing that the story was over. It was just that good. Based on the true story of Chateau Lafayette, the novel brilliantly skips through time, spanning the French Revolution, World War I and World War II.… 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. 🥂
