Friends, I have been so excited to share this super fun thing with you that I'm working on. In fact, I have 3 projects I'm working on for different clients. The fun part is that they are each totally different. I'm decorating a 6-year-old boy's room, redecorating a dentist's office, working on a Master Bathroom renovation, Kitchen updating and decor, and an entirely new look … [Read more...]
Everybody Needs Counseling….
Gonna warn you...this post contains some content that isn't exactly rated PG. If you're under the age of 18....just know, you've been warned. This is real life. Time to break the silence around here. Sorry about that. This year on the blog has had longer periods of silence, and honestly I'm ok with that. It's been a full year. So pretty much, if I'm being honest, the … [Read more...]
Life in the Real World
My dad forwarded me an email the other day and I loved it. SO SO TRUE! I figured it was good enough to share here. Bill Gates gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He addresses how feel-good, politically correct teachings have created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept has set them up for … [Read more...]
Work It! Or Fake It!
I went for a run yesterday. I guess I can call it that...since I did in fact run. But, I suspect that I might have run faster and farther though had I been chased by something more ferocious than a 2 year old. A couple of months ago I signed up to run my very first 5K called "The Color Run." So...yesterday began my training (and general get-off-your-duff-and-do-something … [Read more...]
Call Out The Greatness {Allume Devotional}
Three times over the past month I have heard the phrase "call out the greatness" used with regards to building others up. Once it was in the context of marriage, once in reference to training our children, and once regarding other churches within the body of Christ. Third time is a charm... but being the obtuse individual that I sometimes am, I have finally caught on that … [Read more...]
Journey to the Top {Allume Devotional}
"Ever wonder where you'd end up if you took your dog for a walk and never once pulled back on the leash?" ~Robert Brault My family went to the mountains for a couple of days this weekend. The weather was a glorious 20 degrees cooler than at home, and the sounds of crickets and tree frogs lulling me to sleep was just the peaceful respite this soul needed. On Friday morning, we … [Read more...]
Not Yo Granny’s BLT {Amazing BLT Sandwich}
This may look like a standard issue BLT to some, but trust me....it's not. I have created a sandwich so completely incredible, I'm fairly certain that it's served in heaven. It's so good it kinda makes your eyes roll back in your head....THAT level of goodness...but simple goodness too, just kinda amped up. So, to make this amazing sandwich which I'm dubbing... Not Yo … [Read more...]
Feast or Spoil? {Allume}
Our freezer stopped working on Saturday. Our deep freezer. You know, the one chocked full of meats bought in bulk, extra spaghetti sauce, the casseroles I doubled for a "rainy day", a handful of Kashi and Healthy Choice frozen meals for when my Hubs is gone, giant bags of fruit for smoothies, veggies, and more. Yeah....that freezer. The one that was packed to the gills. It … [Read more...]
If I Lived In Boston…A Ridiculous Impersonation
Some people have suggested along the way that I should do a vlog. For those of you who, like me until recently, didn't known what a vlog is...it's a video blog. I feel like an idiot on camera, and I think my voice sounds weird. Apparently though, my voice typically sounds like my actual voice to other people....which in itself to me is weird. In this video though, I don't … [Read more...]
Beach Fun
We just spent a week at the beach in Florida. Hence the need for the road trip mix that I recently shared. It was gorgeous weather and a huge blast. My youngest has finally reached the age where he just has a ball at the beach, so the whole trip was that much more fun since the boys played so well. I actually got a tan, and according to Suzanne Fawsett from high school, … [Read more...]
Peach Muffins with Streusal Topping {Peach Muffin Recipe}
We're smack in the midst of our luscious peach season here in South Carolina. It's bliss. What's not to love about peaches?! On Tuesday this week, I took my children to a local dairy farm for a tour. It was hot as crap outside....and since it was a dairy farm, it smelled like crap too...literally. It was so hot that it was one of those days that the whole day feels like … [Read more...]
Nothing Never Happens {Allume Devotional}
Marlon - "It's not ok! I promised that I would never let anything happen to him!!!" Dory - "Hmmm....that's a funny thing to promise." "What do you mean?" "You can't never let anything happen to him, because then nothing would ever happen to him." We drove home from vacation today and were in the car for 11 hours. For about four of those hours, we allowed our kids to watch … [Read more...]
Celebrating! {National Sugar Cookie Day}
I woke up this morning, and remembered that there were just a couple of cookies left in the tin...goes great with coffee....kinda like a biscotti, right? And then, I learned from my friend that today, of all days, is the perfect reason to have a cookie with my coffee....especially a sugar cookie! Today, my friends, is National Sugar Cookie Day! Who knew?! Really, who … [Read more...]
People Watching
Well I'm just people watching The other people watching me And we're all people watching The other people watching we - Jack Johnson I LOVE to people watch! Airports, markets, malls, shops, other countries, other cities, fairs, work events, conferences...Seriously...I should have been an anthropologist for as much as I love to watch people. It is just fascinating to … [Read more...]
Proud to Be An American {Happy 4th of July}
My brother ended a 7 year stint in the Navy in January of this year. I wish that I could say that prior to having my brother in the navy I always swelled with pride over our country, but that'd be a bit of an exaggeration. I love our country, and I am so thankful for the freedoms that we have, but I tell you what....until I stood on the docks of a Virginia naval base and … [Read more...]
The Wrestle {Allume Devotional}
I gotta be honest with ya'll. I feel like I've got nothing to offer by way of great spiritual perspective right now. I should...oh I should. I've fasted, I've feasted, I've focused, I've cried, and I've tried....and still....I wrestle. A friend said to me the other day, "Logan, I bless you in your wrestle." And I've been thinking about that. What it looks like to wrestle well … [Read more...]
