August was a lopsided month - I had a full weekend of fun with my mom and sister, but the rest of the month was just full of busy things. You know how that can be!

A couple years ago we celebrated Mom's birthday in Boone, North Carolina. My sister turns 30 this month so we decided to try Lake… Continue reading Celebrating My Sister’s 30th Birthday at Lake Keowee
Comfort Classics: El Dorado {Movie Review}
"Faith can move mountains, but it can't beat a faster draw." And you can't beat a classic John Wayne western like El Dorado. Paul and I both love this movie - it's one that we quote often in our conversations with each other.

July 2021 In Review
July is always a fun month with lots of reason to celebrate! We spent July 4th in downtown Greenville at the new(ish) Gather GVL food truck spot. It was unseasonably pleasant, in the low 80's, so we took advantage of that and tried a new hot dog place. My nephews spent the day with us… Continue reading July 2021 In Review

Celebrating My Parents’ 40th Anniversary!
My sister and I love planning parties together, and we were so happy to plan one to celebrate our parents' 40th anniversary! We knew we wanted it to be much smaller and more intimate than their 35th anniversary (although that was a great event, too!). We decided to gift them a family photo session followed… Continue reading Celebrating My Parents’ 40th Anniversary!

5 Pictures on Friday {4.23.21}
We are enjoying nearly perfect (in my opinion) weather right now. Everything is in bloom, but it's not humid or hot. I'm savoring these few, sweet days of spring in the Carolinas! Over the weekend we did a little bit of yard work - refreshed the mulch and replaced the bare spot in our landscaping… Continue reading 5 Pictures on Friday {4.23.21}
