The sun is out & so is all of our umbrellas! We’re fortunate enough to enjoy our backyard space 3 seasons out of the year! But we couldn’t do it without some much needed accessories! We’ve partnered with Abba Patio for this post, and I’m excited to share that all their fabulous umbrellas are on…
What to Plant in Your Window Boxes
Truth: I could talk about flowers all day – everyday. I love and respect the new life they give to the seasons, and to me, both physically and mentally. We’ve had our window boxes for 3 years now, and I get asked all the time about them, and what I put in them. So I…

Tailgating via Tenenbaums & Bear Bryant style
College football starts in t-minus 2 weeks. So let the plaids, socks, camel, orange & gray hues, jeans, scarves, boots, sweaters & tailgating begin! I had a little one-on-one time with some mags this afternoon. There are so many gorgeous Fall ads out there, but I loved the entire theme of this champaign. Funny thing is, there’s not…
“Go fly a Kite!”
I am longing for a care free weekend! To say things have been a little kaotic these past few days, would be a huge understatement. But things are looking up!!!
