Can I confidently decorate my home and enjoy the process? Now I can! Yes! This book reads like a visit with a good friend. A good friend who really *gets* home decorating and is willing to help you with the process. I’ve read the first 4 chapters in advance of the book’s release (in exchange for my honest review), and it’s just delightful! I’ve found myself smiling, chuckling out loud, and nodding my head in agreement. In this book…
Yesterday I shared my Autumn Adventures list with you, and I promised to come back and give you a final update on my Summertime list. Here it is! 1. Bake something special. DONE! I *did* do some more baking, but nothing too crazy. While our son was home on leave I baked some peanut blossoms. You know the ones. Peanut butter cookies with a Hershey’s Kiss plunked on top. I also baked an apple cake for my husband’s birthday. That’s…
It’s way past time for me to join in on Anne’s monthly Currently link up! This month’s prompts are starting, buying, sharing, reading, and recording. I am CURRENTLY… starting to crave all things autumn! Man, I’m ready for fall! Temps are still in the high 80s here in Savannah, Georgia, but that’s a blessed relief from all the 90s and 100s of the last few months! I *might* have baked a pumpkin pie today. And I *might* be…
Whoopsie! I missed the 1-month update, so I’m chiming in now, 2 months into summer. Let’s see how I’m doing on my super simplified Summertime Adventure List. 1. Bake something special. It’s been a while since I made something special, and I think it’s about time. Now, what to bake?!? >>> I baked a really yummy coffee cake a few weeks ago, but I’m aiming for something a little more challenging! I need to pick out a recipe and make…
Summer is here, y’all! Temperatures are so high here in Savannah we’re under heat advisories every afternoon. I’m not even joking! Since today is the first full day of summer, I thought I’d share my Summertime Adventure List. I’m keeping it short and sweet this time since I’ll be on the road the next four weeks. This summer I want to: 1. Bake something special. It’s been a while since I made something special, and I think it’s about time. …
Goodness gracious! I’ve written seven blog posts in my head, but apparently I never wrote them HERE! And now it’s time for another update on my Springtime Adventure list! That’s a perfect place to get started again. I wrote a list of things I wanted to do during this spring, and I posted it HERE. The first update is posted HERE, and now I’ll fill you in on the last few weeks’ adventures. •Go camping at least two times. DONE! …
Y’all, we are one whole month into spring! Who knew, right?!? It’s been an odd spring here in Savannah, but I’m all about cooler temps! I know a lot of you have had flat-out WINTER for weeks and weeks (months!) on end, and I know you’re weary of it! Even so, it’s time to check in with my Springtime Adventure List to see what I’ve done. You can see the original post HERE! •Go camping at least two times. DONE! …
Whoop whoop! After being out of blog land for several weeks (I’m looking at you, Winter Olympics, post-Olympics sleep deprivation, and back spasms), it’s time to plug back in! Let’s kick the new season off with a Springtime Adventure List! Here are my fun “to-do” items for Spring 2018. •Go camping at least two times. We’re heading out soon to camp in Thomasville, Georgia, one of my most favorite places!. From there we’ll make a day trip to Providence…
We’re having a rainy Friday here today. Temps are nice. A cool 62 degrees last I looked. (Yes, that’s cool for Coastal Georgia!) It’s been a quiet day. A pajama day, if you’d like to know. It’s been a good day for mulling things over, you know? Rainy days always make me miss Europe. And since I just finished a great audio book set on a Scottish island, I’m especially missing it! The book is The Cafe by the Sea…
