Last year I remodeled my home office, and it’s been a genuine pleasure working in this pretty and personalized space. For the longest time, I was loving the sofa that sat on one wall, but over time, paperwork started piling up, and I reasoned I needed a more practical solution if I really was going…
Greetings all, happy November, hope you had a fantastic weekend! I’ve been wanting some fun colorful art for my office, so a few weeks ago, I bought a print from the shop of one of my favorite designers/bloggers, Jen of Made by Girl. You can see her ‘LOVE’ print here in my office alongside my…
Happy Halloween weekend y’all! Do you have a relaxing weekend planned or is your calendar packed with costume related events? We happen to fall in the latter category, but the rain is putting a damper on all the festivities planned. No worries, we’ll just trick-or-treat with our umbrellas and rain boots! Meanwhile, here’s a few…
Greetings lovelies! I do hope you all had a fabulous fall weekend. It was pouring down rain all weekend around here, so the paint on my lovely credenza is still drying due to cold temperatures. I soooo wanted to get all my files organized this weekend, but it was not meant to be. My office…
Oooooooh happy Friday friends. Guess what? I finally finished our staircase! Let me tell you, with two little monkeys running around, I was forced to take this on late at night after they had gone to bed. So for the last ten days, yours truly has been up late sanding, staining, priming and painting, plus…
A few glamorous pumpkin displays have caught my eye lately. Have you seen Heather’s velvet beauties? They’re my new favorite. Oh how I adore all three shades: the pear green, the watery blue and the deep rust velvet. Aren’t they lovely?
My friends, I’m inspired this week. Inspired to make changes, inspired to inject color, inspired to make my home serve our needs better. Why? Why the lovely Elaine Griffin, that’s why! You may recall I reviewed her book last year, and was delighted to find so much practical advice from one of the Top 100…
Because we live to make our friends and family laugh. And because we’re strange and fun. And because you need a giggle this Friday. Meet our front porch pumpkins, representin’ the CG household, yo.
Sunday mornings I get up early before church, make a big pot of coffee, and go blog hopping, often visiting sites that I haven’t had time to visit during the week, or blogs that are new to me. It’s my own ‘choose your own adventure’ excursion, and I just let links take me boldly where…
Halloween has never been the holiday where I care to decorate all over the house ~ I prefer to save my energy for Christmas! However, my kids are at an age where Halloween is thrilling and chilling, so this year I’m living their excitement too and getting into the fun, at least on the living…
Hiya! I hope you had a lovely weekend! As gorgeous as the blue skies were around here, I confess I spent little time outdoors. Shame on me, wasting a perfectly fine October weekend indoors. Well I didn’t completely waste it. I just ignored those beckoning blue skies because there is some major fall housekeeping going…
OK, first, let me announce that the eligibility criteria for the upcoming HomeGoods Link Party has been expanded to include how you would create your own ‘Mom Cave’ with a prize from HomeGoods.

Over the weekend, I did a little gardening, plus paid a visit to my local nursery to see what’s available to plant on the porch this autumn season. More than ever, I was inspired to bring…
