As I mentioned in my previous post, we won’t be traveling to South Carolina to visit my father-in-law over Thanksgiving. I’m sad about it, mostly for the kids who wanted to see grandpa, but we always have a festive Thanksgiving at home as well. SO after not thinking I had to think about thanksgiving, nowContinue reading “pedestal plates & pumpkins table”

container gardening & old chairs
I love container gardening. In my professional job before starting a family I was the marketing director for one of the largest pottery importers|distributors in the United States.

hot cocoa | coffee station inspiration
So during my regular blog hopping routine last week I was totally inspired by Dear Lillie’s “time for coffee/hot cocoa station…” post. I don’t have a beautiful sideboard like Jennifer does, but I created our own little hot drink station slice of heaven. I used our marble lazy susan and assembled all the things weContinue reading “hot cocoa | coffee station inspiration”
happy all hallow’s eve
So it’s a cold, gloomy, rainy day around here. Perfect for Halloween! Of course I waited for today to take pictures outside so it’s a little dark and wet.

sweet valentines
Happy valentine’s day! Just wanted to pop in and spread some love. The Amaryllis our friends gave us over the holidays opened up today with perfect timing. Isn’t she a beaut? You would think I timed it or something, but in reality I was a bit worried I planted her too late. I didn’t getContinue reading “sweet valentines”
football games & flea markets
That was my life last weekend. Saturday was the Sebastian bowl as we celebrated his 10th birthday with all his buddies. Here’s Seb’s field of awesomeness: It’s hard to read in the picture but that’s exactly what it says on the field “Seb’s field of awesomeness” as per the the birthday boy’s request. Daddy workedContinue reading “football games & flea markets”
