I have been coveting this clam shell from Ballard Designs for years but could never pull the trigger on purchasing it. There were even a couple times I almost bought one from the outlet here in Atlanta, but still couldn’t allow myself to shell out the discounted price, especially because they were chipped or damaged.

Hubby and I have a “no-check” policy, as in, we don’t check our bags when we fly. Honestly, at first this beloved little rule… View Post

Brrrrr. Happy Monday! It’s gonna be a cold one and I have a feeling we won’t be leaving the house. (can you say cabin fever?) I hope everyone stays warm and safe. With the frigid temps, I figured it would be a great week to have a little island escape. It feels like it was just a dream already! But… View Post
