I love going through our old photographs. I wish I were organized enough (2014, I swear I will get organized) to have beautiful albums, color coded for seasons, and in chronologic order for date. HA HA HA – not to be confused with HO HO HO. My photos are in boxes, bins and drawers in…
For those of you who don’t already know this, I’m engaged! We are underway into our wedding planning, picking a date & venue, a photographer, and for me, one of the most important things of all…my bridesmaids! The decision on who these would be wasn’t hard. If anything, it was harder to narrow down the…
We’re getting closer to Christmas, which means we’re in baking mode…and apparently based on this week’s posts drinking mode as well 🙂 Our family is all about holiday traditions, especially when it comes to food and special beverages! My mom always made these growing up around the holidays and this year I wanted to give…
Delicious Blood Orange Martini Cocktail! I love that Blood Orange season coincides with the holiday season. They are only available from December to about February. Now, I know the name doesn’t conjure up a warm, fuzzy Christmas feeling. But, if you haven’t tried this delicious citrus, you don’t know what you’re missing. Do yourself a…
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the catalogs and magazines that arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis. I draw so much inspiration from their pages.

I don’t know what it is about rustic or old pieces…I love them. Maybe it brings back childhood memories of being at my grandparents homes or my addiction to Little House on the Prairie. Pa gets me every time 🙂 I really appreciate chippy, rusty and worn items. I’m drawn to them like a magnet….
Each year at Christmas I make homemade Mint Oreos and if I do say so myself, they are always a huge hit! Family members and friends are always asking for them this time of year. Last year I was perusing on Pinterest (weird, I know) and I saw this post about make elf shoes for…
Hey there…just a quick post today as I am feverishly working on final Christmas decor touches in my dining room. Thank goodness the rest of the house is done! This year, I have decided to go with a rustic touch in my decorations. I am showing you a sneak peek of my DIY table runner…
I have to tell you…I think that my dog, Starbuck, is the cutest dog in the world! He is sweet, loving and likes to wear sweaters, clothing and collars. I would not dress him otherwise – I promise. I have family and friends that have dogs and I started thinking about what gifts I could…
We are always looking for new and fun gifts to give friends, neighbors and coworkers. We especially love when these gifts are food items that can be enjoyed by the receiver. This recipe for Peppery Peanuts is that perfect savory gift. This recipe is shared with us courtesy of our wonderful family friend, Laura Mullinax….
Today we are each going to share our Christmas mantle decor… Jennifer’s Mantle: Normally for my Christmas mantel decor I include greenery and my Santa collection, which is not nearly as big as my mother’s, but very sentimental as they were given to me by my grandma. This year I still wanted to use these…
