It’s hard finding a new balance during the Summertime if you have young school…
Watermelon Fiesta Salad
We can’t leave the grocery store without one. My middle child is a fruit loving, watermelon fanatic, slowing talking Southern boy. Anything to do with Watermelon he wants it. Heck, even our kids’ shampoo is Watermelon scent! So needless to say, I always have cut up watermelon in our fridge during the Summer. The other…

Sofa Inspiration for your Home
This post is sponsored by Jonathan Louis Furniture and Macy’s. Being that I’m in the 40+ club, as in years, I’ve seen many furniture styles come & go. Heck, I learned to walk on green shag carpet while holding on to a red sofa that was rather shiny for balance. That’s me on the…

Front Porch Curb Appeal
Our front porch curb appeal is sponsored by Wayfair and Porch (psssst….there’s info at the bottom of this post for a $1,000 GIVEAWAY worth of gardening supplies!!!)

Planning the Perfect Beach Vacation
This post is sponsored by Panama City Beach, Florida It’s that time of year again. When the sun is getting hotter, the kids have started wearing shorts to school, and I start a diet. BLAH! But really – it’s all good, because I do love vacation time!!! Because I know right around the corner the…
For Sale by Owner – our very 1st home
It’s bittersweet, to be honest. Our very 1st home. I brought 3 babies home to this house. And it will forever be in my heart as our first home we fell in love with. But we have finally put it on the market as For Sale by Owner. I know all 2,291 sq. feet of…
