I have horses on the brain….And that can only mean one thing- the countdown to the Kentucky Derby has begun! We are off to the races planning our Kentucky Derby party, and YOU are all “virtually” invited to come along for the fun!

Spring is in the air up in here and I got my toosh in gear working in the yard last week. And by toosh, I mean it was literally sore from digging, planting, and hauling bags of mulch. That is some serious hard work! (But so rewarding.) When the temps warm up each spring, it’s always fun to head to Home Depot… View Post

As a mom, you are “on-duty” 24/7, so when you can get away, it is truly a reason to celebrate. It’s no secret the hubby… View Post

In January, I shared our Moscow Mule recipe and for February’s Happy Hour post I decided to do a fun happy hour craft instead. Hey, my blog, my rules mmmm-kay? 🙂 Now, before we get started, I promise I am not stalking Reese Witherspoon and her Draper James… View Post
Happy Monday! We arrived home late last night from our Chapel Hill getaway and it is great to be home, even with the mounds of laundry and long to-do lists that have piled up. It was fun to be back where we were newlyweds 10 years ago and I hope to give you a quick write up of our trip… View Post
