Celebrating the Class of 2024 {Favorite Meals Send Off Part 1}

August 4, 2024August 7, 2024

I’ve probably written it a thousand times here on the blog, but to feed my boy is to love my boys. And so, for the last two weeks John is home I am making alllll of his favorites. He started a note on his phone earlier this year, so it was quite easy to come… Read More

School Night Supper {Spaghetti & Meatballs}

July 28, 2024July 29, 2024

One of my “lazy mom supper” standbys is spaghetti and meatballs. But, the secret sauce is to use all Rao’s ingredients. I start with a box of the frozen Rao’s meatballs and sauce. To make it go further, I add an extra jar of Rao’s sauce. And, I use the Rao’s spaghetti as well. There… Read More

Happy Hour {Watermelon Cosmo}

July 23, 2024July 8, 2024

This watermelon cosmopolitan is a bit labor intensive as you have to cut, blend and strain a watermelon to get to all that wonderful juice. That said, if you have a long holiday weekend like I did, it is a delicious, light and refreshing spin on a cosmo! Since there are just two of us… Read More

Sunday Supper {Pot Roast Gyros}

July 21, 2024July 8, 2024

I’m back with another great Half Baked Harvest crock pot recipe! I love any meal that doesn’t require me to heat up the house with the oven. This one was a big hit with the family, but I thought the cut of meat she recommends was kind of tough. I’d use something different next time.… Read More

Sunday Supper {Tuscan Lemon Chicken & Greek Orzo Salad}

July 14, 2024July 8, 2024

Our Sunday Supper was absolutely delicious this week, featuring two new recipes that I know we will try again. The boys were so excited to see the chicken marinating overnight. In fact, the morning I made this meal, Whit work up and said “I’ll be thinking about that chicken all day. It looks so good!”… Read More

Sunday Supper {Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken}

July 7, 2024July 8, 2024

I love Half Baked Harvest, but her recipes can be pretty involved. I was delighted to come across this one for slow cooker BBQ Chicken. It was extremely flavorful and a huge hit with the family! All in all, it is a perfect summer meal that doesn’t heat up the house even more. You can… Read More

Back in the Day Bakery’s ‘Nana Puddin’

July 2, 2024July 3, 2024

One of my favorite desserts of all time was the ‘nana puddin’ at Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah. This was the first version of banana pudding I’d ever had that used shortbread in lieu of nilla wafers. One word: amazing. Sadly, the bakery shuttered its doors. Hence, making your own is the only… Read More

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!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
