12 Days of Blogmas: I’ll Be Home for Christmas

December 23, 2018December 23, 2018Leave a comment

It's a good thing I wrote down some thoughts about perspective a few days ago... my daughter currently has croup and I was awake at 5-am before an all-day roadtrip because my dog ate another pup's food at family dinner yesterday... let's just say I'm going to be spending my Christmas money to get our … Continue reading 12 Days of Blogmas: I’ll Be Home for Christmas

This past weekend, I hosted a little get together for the girls in my Sunday School class! When choosing the theme, I knew I wanted to do something girly... but that also felt like a treat. I had the idea to put together a brunch / flower arranging party! Just like the invite says, the … Continue reading Brunch n’ Blooms

DIY (Plant) Shelving

October 20, 2018Leave a comment

Hey guys! Wanted to share a quick and easy project I tackled this past weekend... DIY Shelving! I am using them for plants (because #therearemany), but you could use these anywhere. Granted, we had most of the supplies needed on hand from finishing the stairs; however, a quick trip to your local hardware store would … Continue reading DIY (Plant) Shelving

All About Houseplants

August 5, 20185 Comments

I am starting to get more and more plant questions on Instagram, so I thought I would do a blog post about it! If you had told me I would ever sprout a green thumb, I would have laughed in your face. As a person who used to kill everything, the fact that I now have … Continue reading All About Houseplants

Refrigerator Pickles

July 3, 20186 Comments

Does it get more Southern or more "summer" than picklin' something? I don't think so. Andrew and I have planted and maintained a vegetable garden since we got married 7 years ago, and our cucumber plant is the star of the show right now! Even eating and giving away cukes to neighbors, I was still … Continue reading Refrigerator Pickles

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall.

June 18, 2018June 19, 20181 Comment

If you're just catching up, our house was built in the early 1980's. This means smaller rooms, some with no lighting, and some with awkward shapes. I'm exercising my interior design muscles big time with this one to make everything flow! For example, our dining room used to be a formal living room... with no … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall.

Silly Truth: I've been waiting to blog this post because it's been cloudy outside, and I wanted good, sunny pictures of what we've done. Second Truth: You guys don't care about sunshine and just want to see the progress. So let's get to it!

The days are long. The years are short. The days are too short and this year has flown by. Wait, this day is taking forever. Actually, what day is it? Where are my children?
