Hi Peeps! I’m so glad to be back from a short blogging break! While it was a break from writing, it wasn’t a break from learning. This all started about a month ago, when some blogger friends of mine and I were chatting online about the various blogging conferences being offered around the country.

Each year, my husband and I receive an invitation to a lovely Holiday Open House held at Richard Tubb Interiors in Birmingham. Richard is a well-known and much-beloved interior designer based in Birmingham, Alabama. His credentials are a mile long, but besides that he’s just one gracious and lovely person! And, lucky for us, he is a very close family… Read More
You know that phrase in America the Beautiful, ‘Purple mountains majesty, above the fruited plain’? We saw it last week.

I learned some things about babies and the beach: My number 1 tip is to set up some kind of ‘containment’ for… Read More
A Day on the Farm We call it the Ponderosa. Almost 300 acres in the middle of nowhere. That’s what my dear hubby and his brothers recently inherited at the passing of both parents. It is a beautiful spread, farmed for years with various crops and cattle. Now subdivided among the ‘boys’, it is morphing into 4 estates instead of… Read More
Bonjour y’all! Are you excited about Spring? I am in a Parisiènne state of mind! Ever since high school, the French language and culture has captivated me. I took French through my junior year of college, and while not fluent by any means, I can still read and comprehend fairly well. And since this is also Paris Fashion Week, I… Read More
