Having a Clean-ish House

Having a Clean-ish House

Hello Sweet Friends! Do you ever like to clean up your house before you invite people over? I do. In fact, I actually enjoy having people visit so that I’m motivated to clean! I’m not the kind of person to worry too much if there is dust on the bookshelves or baskets of laundry needing to be folded … [Read more...]

Happy Anniversary My Love

Happy Anniversary My Love

My husband and I are celebrating our ninth anniversary! Nine years! I still can’t believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were reciting our vows in front of our families and a few close friends, full of joy and hope and love. We were married in a beautiful little chapel on a southern plantation … [Read more...]

Delicious Dessert with a Patriotic Twist

Delicious Dessert with a Patriotic Twist

Hello Friends! We’re serious about desserts at our house. If I could survive on just sweets (especially chocolate) I would do it in a heartbeat! And my kiddos seemed to inherit my love of all things sweet. We actually do a pretty good job about limiting their sugar intake, but every now and then … [Read more...]

Summer is here, and it's that wonderful time of year when we plan vacations!

Welcome to the Olive Garden

Welcome to the Olive Garden

Typically when people are looking to purchase a house they have a wish list of important things they want to find in their new home. At least, they always do on HGTV. A cute couple drives around in their clean, quiet car wearing very stylish coordinated outfits and discussing their wish list for … [Read more...]

A Butterfly Garden Party

A Butterfly Garden Party

We celebrated my sweet girl turning three this weekend! I can't believe it! When I was at the store picking out the numbered candle to put on her birthday cake I had to think long and hard about what number to buy, and I checked with my husband when I got home just to be sure I remembered it … [Read more...]

The Castle that was Cornelius

The Castle that was Cornelius

Hello sweet friends! When we bought our house at an auction we bought it “as is”. We had a vague idea of what we were getting in to, but without an official inspection it was impossible to know what kind of repairs and updates were needed. Anytime a house sits empty for a long period of time, as … [Read more...]

    8 years ago by whimsicalblue My husband surprised me last night with this gorgeous azalea tree for Valentine's Day! My favorite part was when I asked him how to care for it. There was a pause, then he smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not sure. I didn't expect it to live that long." He knows me so well! When I laughed and assured him I would do my best to keep it alive, he gave me a hug and said in a reassuring voice, "Let's just enjoy it while it lasts." He knows me so well and yet still buys me flowers because he loves…

    8 years ago by whimsicalblue Sometimes I look up from whatever it is I'm working on, take a moment to appreciate my surroundings, and I wonder to myself, "How is this my life?" It's amazing to me that I'm sitting under my vintage chandelier writing my story and sharing my heart. Dreams really do come true, friends! With a tremendous amount of hard work, the willingness to take a few risks, and a little bit of luck.

Welcome To Our Reason

Life has an interesting way of changing our plans, even the really good plans we make for all the right reasons. When we sold our stone house almost two years ago it was with the intention to live near my shop and closer to my husband’s work and simplify our lives. We rented a loft […]
