Being a Southern girl, and living in a city that is notorious about handling winter weather poorly, I'll admit to having a very skewed perception of winter. Here in Louisville (for those of you reading from elsewhere), as soon as there is a threat of inclement weather, the brine trucks hit the road, ...
Resolve
2014 passed by in a whirlwind! I would absolutely be lying if I said there were no hardships- the first three months of last year were difficult. A polar vortex of weather the likes of which I've never seen, a home whose pipes froze, unfroze, flooded, and froze again after the HVAC went out halfway ...
Word Vomit
Emotions are a funny thing. If you're very lucky, they can make you feel as if your chest is swooping, your tummy does flips at the sight of something or someone you love. If you aren't so lucky, a dark shadow creeps into your life and follows you, cowering over you in ways you've never thought ...
May Goals
Friends, I am so happy to announce that as of today, my darling kitchen looks like this:
** Kitchen, ready for new cabinets... And paint **
The upper cabinets have been removed, the new appliances are here (you can just see the new dishwasher sitting in the dining room), and new lights are ...
Living to the Point of Tears
I saw something the other day that struck me straight into my soul. A simple little phrase, a pick-you-up that should be viewed only as something sweet to remind you to live well.

Good Lord, in less than 3 hours, I'll be 30.
I always thought that I would dread beginning this decade. Of course, I always thought I would be married, possibly a mommy as well. I have to say, I'm entering my 30s with great expectations as well as a pretty awesome 6 months behind me. I met my ...
Always keep a Bottle of Champagne in the Fridge for Special Occasions
Because sometimes, you discover that a lifelong friend has been reading your blog by receiving an unexpected package...
** well, I'll be **
With such a sweet note attached, who wouldn't want to bust open a bottle?! Thanks, Tommy! ...
Those Who Cannot Do
If you've been keeping up with me at all, you're aware that our home has been on the market for a few weeks now. We finally feel like its time to start hunting the next project, er... Home... And I discovered just today that I am horrible- HORRIBLE- at shopping for a new home for myself.
While the ...
My Old Kentucky Farm
Please forgive the delay in posting! I've been on my farm since 6am Tuesday morning getting tobacco in the ground for this season. I'm a little sunburnt in a farmer tan way, but we are so close to being finished setting, and the weather was just perfect these past few days, so I'm not ...
