Hey all! I disappeared for a while…not because I suddenly have a green thumb, or because I suddenly am too ashamed to share my trials and tribulations. No no, I had another mini human. And can I just say, these little people sure do require all hands on deck! Peter and I welcomed our third […]
The Day of the Momma….
HECK YES! It is Mother’s Day! Not that I don’t tell my mother(s) on a regular basis how much I love and appreciate them….but now, being amongst them, I get it! Mommin’ can be hard work! Most days I feel like I am doing it all wrong and am going to ruin my children for […]
Oh yeah, I grew that…
Ok, I know I have disappeared for a while…but I am back and I have NEWS!! We finally put in a small veggie garden! I mean…it only took us four years, but I will always keep my promises! Slow and steady wins the race right? Or something like that is what I tell myself to […]
Rain Brain
So we are all a little sick of the rain…or at least I am. I mean, I have two kids aged 5 and under and the CABIN FEVER is real y’all. Plus there are moth sized mosquitos, and humidity that does not do nice things to my hair. But that is neither here nor there. […]
Par-Tay!!
I really love to entertain. Something about having those close to you all together, happy, eating, having fun! However, there is another secret reason I like to entertain…the mad dash you do to get everything CLEAN, organized, picked up and put together…you know, so you can look like you have it all together! Your house […]
Rain, rain….thanks!
So the weather this week looks like it is going to be pretty crummy. If you are like me, my first knee jerk reaction is “UGHHH….WHY?!…I am going to be stuck inside…I have things to do…the kids are going to get stir crazy…” etc. Ok, breathe. Honestly, I love the rainy days. If I am […]
I am learning…or am I?
I know I seem to have disappeared for a bit, but I am still here! Like many of you, Mother Nature has not EXAAAAAACTLY been cooperating with me and my time outdoors. Figured you all might like an update on what I have killed recently. Well, here is some proof that trial and error DOES work!! […]
Herbs are easy to grow and handy to have.
I don’t have to tell you how poor my flower beds looked after coming through last winter…let’s just say it was complete annihilation. Or so I thought! To my pleasant surprise, once the carnage and weeds were cleared away, I found my chocolate mint THRIVING!! Full and spreading and smelling like heaven!! And for the […]
Spring, where art thou? Seriously…where?
Hello all! It is me again! I don’t know about you, but I am over winter. OVER it. I am tired of being inside, tired of the cold, tired of everything being brown. I NEED to get out of the house. I know you can relate! My poor yard is in a pitiful state. […]
Fall is for Fire Pits
Did you hear that? It’s the collective sigh heard all across the South when the first cold front rolls through. HELLO FALL, I missed you so. I WANT to be outside! And now I can be without getting drenched in glow (my mother told me ladies don’t sweat, so I glow). As you know, I […]
