Outdoor Party Lighting {Mingle Monday}

Last weekend, my husband and I hosted, along with a few other couples, a wedding party for our nephew and his soon to be bride. As soon as we decided that the party would be held in our back yard, I knew I wanted to use plenty of lighting for the evening party.   My [...]

Hydrangea Lovin’ {Mingle Monday}

  My Grandmother always had the most beautiful hydrangea bushes near her porch. As I would run past on my way to her door, blue snowflakes would seem to fall from the heavy globes forming a varying blue blanket on the ground. Her cat, Albert, peeping through from under the bush, would pounce at the [...]

Happy Memorial Day & Mingle Monday

  Happy Memorial Day! I hope your family is enjoying the weekend together, celebrating the dedication of those men and women who have sacrificed so much to allow us the freedoms we enjoy.

Mingle Monday Highlights {March 19}

Fear of Failing {Mingle Monday}

  Some of my best conversations with Little Buddy happen either when we’re driving in the car or at night after I’ve tucked him into bed and the lights have been turned out. That’s when we talk about dreams, the day’s activities, tell silly stories, or even just sit and sign for a little bit. [...]

Sunny Side Free Printables {Mingle Monday}

As my Grandmother would work in her home, she normally had the radio or a record playing. The music would vary from classic bluegrass tunes, to gospel greats, to good ole country songs. She’d hum or sing along to the infectious tunes and encourage my sister and me to dance around and sing as we [...]

Pinterest Rule of Thirds {Mingle Monday}

Pin It   Welcome back to Mingle Monday! Are y’all as addicted to Pinterest as I am? I sit down to visit my Pinterest world at least once during the day and then realize that so much time has past since I first sat down. One thing that I’ve learned is that this world is [...]

Mingle Monday {Are You Ready for Christmas?}

Oh my goodness, y’all! Christmas is next weekend! NEXT weekend! Can you believe it? I have to admit that I’m still a little bit behind in all of the magical things I had in my mind that we’d have done by now. It seems like that may be my story every year about this time. [...]
