In relation to love, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. That is definitely true and I’ve been fortunate to experience that. While Brandon and I were dating over 10 years ago, we did so over a long distance relationship. Every time we could spend time together was refreshing and fun. The distance was […]
Many months have passed without much attention given to making any progress on our home. Yes, we try on a weekly basis to clean and keep up. However, we set out to do more with our house. Not just live in it but make it ours. Our lower level has 3-4 rooms/areas that have wooden […]
Summer! You are here now and I actually wouldn’t have it any other way. Here in Louisiana it’s pretty hot this summer, with highs in the upper 90’s. Mix that with the high humidity, bad mosquitos, and you’ve got yourself a Southern summer season. The summer season conjures up many thoughts, memories, and feelings for us […]

The cold weather seems to have settled in southern Louisiana. So, it’s only fitting that I finish decorating the mantel for the season…the fall season. And no, it is not winter yet…winter doesn’t start until late December! But, I can promise you this mantel will be around through the winter. This is how it looked last […]
Every time that you write a blog post it may not be one item or one project that you want to talk about. Maybe you want to talk about 5 random things and that is fine. I’m starting this series in hopes that I won’t leave you hanging until I get around to perfecting other posts and […]
