Dearest readers and friends, I am so excited to finally be able to share why I have been missing these past few weeks … Tuesday, January 10th I was sitting in a movie (Twilight – during “the scene” no less!) when I noticed my girlfriend’s phone lighting up. I looked over to see Corey’s number [...]

A new workshop announced:
Happy Friday to you all! This past week has looked quite different than normal. Charley has been in Knoxville with grandparents all week! She is coming home today and I cannot wait to get her back in my arms. I miss kissing her neck and smelling her hair. I miss sitting with her while she [...]
25 Ways to Wear a Scarf:
I’ve got something new (and a little addicting) for you today. My friend, Emily, turned me on to this adorable girl named Wendy and her fantastic fashion website called Wendy’s Lookbook a few months ago when I was visiting her in Memphis. Wendy is a total fashion genius and although I am just about the [...]
Thanksgiving Table Ideas:
As with most holidays for us we are not celebrating it like normal folks do. Corey has to work on Thanksgiving and the day after so we’re going to have our Thanksgiving meal (with just my parents who are kindly coming to town to keep me company) on Saturday. (If only sick people could take [...]
HGTV: Our Bedroom Post-Reno
I started working on this post at 9:30 yesterday morning. I haven’t been working on it the past 24-hours, but I think I tried to write it and get it posted like five times yesterday. Well, what’d you do all day? I have no idea. Except I did go to Crossfit and do a bajillion [...]

Wait, why is her title about a baby bed and her post about Charley’s best friend? Because that’s how I roll. In writing and in-person. Can [...]
Picking the perfect gray + our mantle makeover
The only area in our house I haven’t repainted is our living room and dining room. The original color was a neutral yellow so it worked really well for awhile. The problem was that we didn’t have any leftover from the previous owner for touch-ups and had no idea the color. The room, after 4+ [...]
Let’s chat about something serious: The Walking Dead
Only a few times in my life have I gotten this enthralled by something media related. A few bands, a few books, a few movies and now a TV series. When we were returning home from California and were counting down the minutes until we landed Corey was able to distract himself by watching the [...]
Story Corps
Corey stumbled upon Story Corps right around the 10th anniversary of 9/11. If you are like we were and have never heard of Story Corps they are a business worth knowing about. Copied from Wikipedia Story Corps “is an American non-profit organization whose mission is to record, preserve, and share the stories of Americans from all backgrounds [...]
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! We’re heading to a party tonight with friends and are dressing up all the babies in matching cow outfits. There’s going to be a whole herd of ‘em! I’m looking forward to spending Halloween as a family. Last year Corey worked and I was so worried about someone ringing the doorbell and waking [...]
