It is hard to believe we have surpassed another year, but I do have to admit that I enjoy welcoming in a new one! A new year symbolizes many things: renewal, peace, a fresh start, etc. I no longer make the typical “New Year’s resolutions.” Instead, I think of ways to enrich my life. This Read More

September Culinary Club
I cannot believe it’s almost officially fall! Our temperatures are beginning to cool off in the mornings, but we’re not quite to the fall like weather that I adore. Culinary Club met last night at my house. I made up our menu during a sleepless night last week when our temperatures were reaching 100! Therefore, Read More
Culinary Club: August

Muffins, Mimosas, and Moms
On Saturday morning, I hosted a fabulous party, “Muffins, Mimosas, and Moms” with my great friend, Candy. We donated this party to our school’s adult fundraiser, Bright Night.

I definitely have “my favorites” that I follow in blog land. And of course, they all have something to do with the home! One of the blogs I follow is Holly Mathis Interiors!

Blissdom 2013
I have now attended two blogging conferences, the Design Bloggers Conference and now Blissdom. And both were by accident! I would be reading other blogs, surfing the web, and these conferences would just pop up. However, I truly believe it’s a “God thing!” Not only did He lead me to these conferences, but He also Read More
