It’s mid-summer and I just can’t get enough of it. As you know, summer is my favorite season of all. Yes, it gets super hot in Louisiana and no I don’t like being hot. However, I love everything else about summertime! Normally we grill often, enjoy time by our fire pit, and soak up the […]
Summer is by far my favorite season and it’s almost here.That means it’s time to get outdoors! A beach day is a must for summertime and we make it a point to visit every summer. Over the years, one thing I’ve learned is to prepare in advance, so we can enjoy ourselves upon arrival. Whether […]
Let me be clear and state that I’m not an interior designer. But, the truth is – I love designing spaces until I can’t anymore. After owning a vintage rental and styling business a few years back, I really came to the realization, I enjoy making spaces look pretty. I enjoy the process of finding […]
Whew! It’s been six months since we started working in our kitchen. The kitchen plan was simple – lighting, painted cabinets, and paint walls/trim. You can read all about our initial plans here.

I’m officially a plant mom and I’m not mad about it! For many years, I’ve struggled with keeping plants alive. I’ve always yearned to be the person with a house full of plants but had a “black thumb”. Honestly, every plant I’ve ever owned has died – until now. I made a conscious effort to […]

A few weeks back, I started seeing blood oranges at the grocery store. I always like to have them for drink recipes or even charcuterie boards because they are so […]
There is nothing “girly” about this cocktail. Also, there is nothing wrong with mixing whiskey in a cocktail. Now that we’ve got those two things out the way, please know that I don’t drink whiskey. You know I love wine. However, my husband has a hefty collection of bourbon and I’ve really wanted to know […]
This year, I did something I’ve been wanting to do, and even tried to do once before. I hired a local photographer, Stacie, for pre-planned photoshoots. The very first photoshoot was for branding purposes (more on branding in another post). Basically, I need ongoing pictures for my website, social media, and print material. It was […]
Smoothies are an easy way to get a ton of nutrition into your body. You can enjoy a smoothie for breakfast, a pre or post-workout snack, or as a meal replacement. I normally enjoy mine right after I workout. Almost everyday of the week, I enjoy a smoothie, with some of my favorite ingredients. This […]
