Happy Spring, y'all! I woke up this morning feeling like I had crossed the finish line of a monumental feat -- it's March 20. I made it through winter and spring is finally here. And all the birds chirped Hallelujah! Even though we had a mild winter this year, it was still obnoxiously cold and … Continue reading 8 Ways to Welcome Spring
Happy Halloween y'all!! I'm not a huge Halloween fan, but I do like any reason to celebrate! After Jody and I first got married, we made a deal that if I watch 31 days of Halloween movies with him, he has to watch Christmas movies with me (including Hallmark!). We wanted to share in the … Continue reading Get Your Spook On

Happy Black Friday friends! I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of laughter, love and good food. Jody and I spent ours in Virginia with his side of the family -- it was great to see family that we don't get to see all that often. Now that Thanksgiving is over, the holiday season … Continue reading Christmas Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers
A few Fridays ago, Jody and I hosted our first gathering at our home in the form of a housewarming party! Hosting and entertaining guests are something that has always been important to us, but we have had few chances to do so. Now that we have settled in and added more to our little … Continue reading A Cozy Housewarming Party
