So, I made bread this week. What’s the big deal since I make bread almost every week? Well, I made her bread…my late friend, Hope’s bread. She was famous for it. It was tall and its crusty, and it was dark brown. It was light, it was flavorful. It was perfection…so it seemed. Continue reading “What Does a Loving Mother Do?”
On a recent date night at home, my husband pulled out the old VHS videos from 1999. Woah. We were mesmerized as we viewed

I love adding a little Valentine’s Day decor to my home a couple weeks before the holiday. It warms things up in the long, cold month of January! I didn’t buy a thing – I just used what I already had.

Call it age, call it lazy, but I’m changing my game this year with my fall decor. Instead of spreading fall leaves, pumpkins and corn stalks everywhere (well I never have spread corn stalks everywhere, but for the sake of making my point I’ll add them!), I’m choosing to make a few groupings.

This mum came back from last year. It’s a whopper, isn’t it? I’m loving it! It’s going to be stunning in a few days! I may add some real pumpkins in a week or so, but for now I think the flowers speak for themselves!
I had the blessing of being in upstate New York last weekend where the colors were just beginning to turn. It made me excited for fall to come to the south!
I’m still changing what you see here. Simplicity is what I’m longing for and maybe you saw a book here that is inspiring me in that direction? I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out!
Do you decorate your home for fall? If so, do you go all out or do you add only a few touches?
