I can't believe how time flies. Seriously. And I can't believe it's been almost a month since Nora turned one. I'm a terrible blogger. AHHHH! But, I MUST show these wonderful photos to you that totally capture Nora's sweet personality. She is a total light and JOY in our lives! Nora is seriously my doll baby. I just can't even get over how much I adore her. We all adore her. Her daddy and ...

Backyard Suppertime
This post is also featured on Style Me Pretty Living! One of our favorite places to eat supper during the summertime is in our backyard - at least when it's not 100 degrees! Sometimes we have fresh garden produce with homemade chicken fingers or sandwiches and salads, but when we get really fancy, we {my brother} will grill hamburgers on the ancient charcoal grill. It's such a treat for our family. The best addition to home grilled hamburgers ...

We will give. {the antics of getting pictures taken.} We will be ...

Having people here makes me happy because that's what this house knows. Memaw and Granddaddy always welcomed everyone into their home for a meal, for holidays - we used to gather for just about every single holiday imaginable. {view from my ...
finding beauty in the mundane

Cutting up cheese, avocados and apples. Wiping hands and sweet faces. Re-washing that sour load of laundry at least once. Sweeping up left over animal cracker crumbs. Laughing at the antics of my boys. Going on a treasure hunt for socks that ...
