And now, for the wreath…….. My jaw dropped the first time I saw the snowball wreath from Anthropologie. It’s [...]

And the winner is——coral-ish!!!! (If you’re confused, read start reading the post after the 2nd photo first and then come back up here!) Do you hate me? If so, blame it on Ruth. She took us down the dark and twisty alley of ‘black is dead to me.’ So, what I did was—-I spray painted [...]

I wasn’t even gonna post about my Thanksgiving tables because let’s be honest, y’all have moved on and are knee deep in Christmas decor. But then I remembered that the beauty of using non-traditional colors is that you can use them for any occasion. I think I may just use the same ideas for [...]

Thanksgiving in the new house was perfect in every way! The weather was mild enough that the young adults sat on the porch to eat and then enjoyed the fireplace afterwards. Caiti was a huge help this year and did lots of cooking and helping! (Thank you sissy) I have the most wonderful family [...]

So, how long have you and I been going steady? Like 3 years, I think? Well, except for that time you broke up with me when I posted about Loretta Lynn. And okay, the mullet made you a little uncomfortable. And the bluegrass. But all and all, we’re pretty solid, you and I. I [...]

I always host Thanksgiving for my family. I love hosting Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite days. I’m scrambling this year because it dawned on me (2 days ago) that I don’t have all my serving platters anymore. Or rather, it dawned on me that I don’t have ANY serving platters anymore.

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold.
