if you’ve been following us on social media this past month, you may have seen a few quick posts about our decorations for Christmas. what started as a way of pacing ourselves with -all- the decorations that are waiting to be unpacked from our holiday closet each year, has grown into an intentional family tradition […]
‘pressed to the sounds of my family…at play, at rest, happy + well in our blest nest This time of year is the best. Better known as the actual eleventh hour of the year, November brings such plentiful opportunities to pause + reflect. A time to observe the dramatic, changing leaves; the fall folding into […]
the season is officially upon us—! Though I really don’t visit Starbucks–for coffee–as much as I used to, there are still plenty of other reasons to stop by, like breakfast sandwiches + fun seasonal cake pops for a special treat after school. Since receiving an espresso machine as a Christmas gift, I simply can’t justify […]
last year my sweet crew surprised me with a bike ride along the beltline. It was a beautiful day spent in the sun + we enjoyed all the stops along the way from krog to ponce to piedmont park + back again for pinwheels + popsicles it was full of fun + treats. …it was […]
I have this thing…an appreciation for aesthetically pleasing combinations, with color, light, the way things are arranged + how they play off each other. So, when I try to explain how much I enjoy the endless combinations of wrapping paper + ribbon, well, forgive me if I write a book. For much of my youth, […]
There is not much else that makes me feel so “at home” as the comfort a little lamp can provide.
I looked forward to seeing the haul we would soon have spread across the kitchen countertops that magically made our vacation house our home away from home.
The most passion-filled moments were in the arrival + departure, as they always are. The journey of coming + going deeply stirs my soul.
Despite chilly winter weather, we have found porch time in these last three months. . . right here beside the family room fireplace! This spot may not offer a full retreat from the distractions of the household chores as our time spent on the porch, but when a moment is needed to unwind or refocus, […]
When I decided on a name for this blog, it just made sense to me to pair these two things I love, porches + pillowfights, to capture the nature of what I planned to ponder + share here. Articulating just why I love these two is kind of the purpose of my little corner on […]
saturday was the day we have been waiting for! perfect weather + time to do many of the things we love together.
The light filters beautifully through the Georgia pines this time of year. I find a kind of magic in the Autumn sun’s dreamy ability to add the most cozy appeal to just about anything it shines on.
So the B E S T part of all this?! It’s finally feeling like F A L L here in Atlanta — so we are out on the porch this evening taking in the game that brought us together + loving every crisp second of it.
Target Drive Up is there another more perfect accommodation by a store than this?! When I first saw it as an option, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I have used it on many occasions because toddler meltdowns are real. Since I can’t grow any additional arms anytime soon, this is such a wonderful […]
