Happy New Years Eve, friends! For years and years NYE was my absolute favorite holiday. I loved everything about it – dressing up, going out with friends, counting down to midnight, the opportunity to set new goals, the whole thing. My friends in college used to call me the “new years girl” because they knew how much I loved it… Keep Reading
Shouting from the Rooftops that the Sunroom Windows are DONE!
I can think of 88 projects that would be more fun than painting 12 sunroom windows. In short, this project was a bear.

Merry Christmas from my siblings, little diva, and me. I hope you’ve enjoyed a beautiful, festive day with family and/or friends. Everybody around me is in a little bit of a food coma and napping (y’all know I don’t nap), and I have to share with you a game our family played last night that was a ridiculous success. We… Keep Reading
