This blog has been piquing the back of my mind for weeks and weeks. Months, actually. Always whispering to me to sit down on the laptop and tap some words, share a photo or two and try and r...

We have the ability to wake up every day (God willing) and direct how our day is going to go. Regardless of how we are feeling or what we are going through, we should be grateful. Gratef...
I can hardly believe we've made the three year mark this July 4th. Sometimes it doesn't seem that long ago yet other times, it seems longer (not in a bad way). Either way you look at it, it feels...

Summer is in full swing as the twins are out of school and my daughter has graduated! Time with your kids definitely goes by as quick as a blink of an eye. Things are still in t...

Good morning! I hope the weather is just as beautiful in your neck of the woods as it is here, in the South. The air is pure and clean, the trees are vibrant shades of green and all of...
Sticking to my word! Today being Easter Sunday {Happy Resurrection Day}, I thought that I would wait till morning to post but I have some free time between breakfast and our Easter meal l...

Oh, hello! Remember me? As today marks the first day of spring, it's been since winter that I have paid any attention (physically) to this page. Trust me, I've wanted to. My life ...
Oh, you know, next week, the week after. The days and weeks have somehow managed to run together. I am not complaining one bit because I know that every moment I am busy is one moment cl...
I have so much to catch you up on! I have been working 'round the clock and I am so, SO behind in all things Christmas. {I haven't even sent Christmas cards out} I have been blessed...

Thanksgiving is almost here! I shared this recipe last year (afterward) but wanted to freshen your memory in case you needed an extra vegetable side or are taking a dish to a gathering. ...

Well hello! I hope you are all doing well. It's been quite the whirlwind around here lately with all the wonderful things going on, that sitting down to edit photos and journal, has been pu...

Yes, it's been a while. I am finished with my day job and am back to work for me. Our poor house was neglected for about 6 weeks so I've been playing catch up the last few days. I finally ha...

And it is ours! We gained custody of our building last Thursday and finally got to do something with it this weekend. Bruce headed over Sunday morning with a friend and started deconst...
I can't believe I'm typing these words. WE ARE BUYING A BUILDING. An old fashioned, free standing, brick and mortar with lots of history and lots of potential. The French Pressed Hom...

Although I didn't take a million pictures or sneak inside the Chapel to see what goodies were to be had (yes, I have regrets!), I did manage to use my new phone to click a few quick pi...

Our first show is exactly one week from today! I've been working on my baking menu and schedule {even in my sleep} because this will be our first ever pastry booth/show. I have...
There is no greater pleasure (to me) than using my hands to create, improve or make something beautiful. Right now, I'm working on our home for an event, making preparations ...

With The Market on Chapel Hill just mere weeks away, we've been working away on some goodies going along for the ride. Some to keep, some to sell. Today, my Mr. constructed my pastry ...

I wish I could say there's a crisp in the air. Oh, I can hardly wait. I have caramel apples, spiced cakes and other comfort desserts on the brain. The Market on Chapel Hill is coming ...

Things are changing (at a snail's pace) at FPH but it's progress, right? My Mr. worked on the main bathroom this past weekend and textured the upper portion of walls and ceiling. O...
Summer surely has been a Summer! As we head toward the tail end, the garden proves it to be so. My tomatoes are just about depleted with no new blooms so I am considering ...

Can you believe we've lived here for two years and this past weekend was my first real treasure hunt? I mean, I've gone junking here and there but this time, I was on a mission for speci...

Although I truly love the whites of Shabby Chic, it just does not lend well with our style of life. What feels so comfortable to me and what I keep gravitating toward are the warm and ri...

While the blogger is away, the paint brushes and creativity play. And so do baking pans and a KitchenAid mixer. Irrelevant but these cupcakes turned out amazing and I had to share. I wi...

I am afraid I have become obsessed with peaches this year. We are lucky enough to be close to the county that grows some of the best peaches that have ever touch my lips. The Chilton (Co...
