It occurred to me today that my bridal shower is this weekend and I have yet to share anything from the wedding! And yes. That’s how we roll, wedding events after the actual wedding.

Ever since David and I moved under one roof and are consolidating our belongings it is becoming clear that… Continue reading DIY: Furniture Refinishing
Last week I found myself in New Orleans, smack dab in the middle of the week, on the coldest day ever. Not really the coldest day ever, but every time I stepped foot outside it certainly felt like it. I was excited originally for the cold weather because even though I am a southern girl… Continue reading Red and Purple Strike Again!

Personally, I find it to be a little bit daunting and overwhelming, like there’s pressure to make the year ahead spectacular. It’s probably the perfectionist… Continue reading Reflection
