In my early motherhood days, which was truly before social media was what it is today (bless!), I remember being mesmerized by beautiful holiday magazines from Martha Stewart and Southern Living. I’d often think, “some day….” Fast forward to 2024 and while Joanna Gaines can still dazzle us in paper form, there is no shortage […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I truly love everything about Christmas and will say to this day that it is magical. The lights, the sounds, the sights, the food, the excitement, and of course my favorite, Advent. Christmas also comes with contradictions and what feels like moral jeopardy when talking about Santa […]
We are officially on the count down to Thanksgiving! It is one of my favorite holidays of the year and this year feels a little different and extra special with a college kiddo coming home. Kimberly and I thought we would share some of our traditional holiday recipes this week! We have a handful that […]
I would like to say that having an attitude of gratitude should come easy in this life. I mean, life as we know it in 2024 truly has all we could ever ask for and more. We can literally buy anything we want at the drop of a hat and have majority of the things […]

This time of year always seems to be jam packed with change. This year has been particularly so for my family with a child starting college. Since its football season, we will use that analogy. Tip off starts in August for us with the start of a new school year. August always feels like the […]
Recently Sarah shared a podcast with me from the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast with hosts Sissy Goff and David Thomas. The guest that day was Kelly Corrigan. I honestly did not know who Kelly Corrigan was, but you can find her here. The whole conversation was fascinating from the dried carrots and hummus to […]
