It's that day again that we celebrate a week's worth of work and (hopefully) a few days of down time, catch up time, or whatever you want or need to do that you can't do Monday thru Friday. Because let's face it, I think most of us can agree, we live this GO GO GO life. So Fuzzy Friday it is again, but today, I'm sharing a drinky drink for a crowd. We all know one of the biggest food fests of the year will go down on Sunday, so I thought why … [Read more...]
TBT: Market, Parties and Headbands
When I find brands with great style, I love to keep up with them. And when they are things so many of us ladies could use and wear and love, how can I not share it with the world! So today is a #TBT to earlier this month when I got to visit with Elizabeth, owner of Jolie. We connected in Atlanta market in January when I was there helping Honestly Margo with her business. Both Margo and I were obsessed with the loveliness … [Read more...]
In the Kitchen: Sugared Bacon
I made this TO DIE FOR side dish over the holidays, and all I can say is my family was like OOOMMMMGGGGG... like NON STOP, licking their fingers, and I couldn't make more of it fast enough. Let's face it. I don't know why all things bacon seem to be hot, but they are. Bacon in this, bacon in that. I had THE most amazing Candied Bacon Cinnamon Roll with Maple Icing at Cafe 501 this fall... and I mean to tell you... ya... um... ya. … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Abi Ferrin Versatile Leggings
It wasn't long ago that I shared my absolute favorite leggings from Abi Ferrin from R.Meyers. In case you missed it, you can see it HERE. Well, being inspired by Kate Middleton wearing hers what it appears to be on the slopes, I thought to myself, these fabulous things are NOT just to be dressed up. I can look super fabulous for less formal occasions... like travel. When it comes to travel I like to have three things part of my look: I have … [Read more...]
A Bit of Fit: My Fitbit
Most everyone who knows me knows that I try to make OP decisions on food and drink to be as healthy and lean as I can. And, I'm also getting my tush back into the gym as much as I can on a regular basis (when I'm not playing nurse to my kiddos!). Well, Santa Claus seemed to catch wind of this, so he brought me a Fitbit for Christmas. I had heard of them and seen tons of devices out there that are worn to monitor activity, steps, etc, but I … [Read more...]

You all know I've been on this mission to keep my hair healthy and thick as long as I can. I recently shared some UH MAAAAZING … [Read more...]
Hardware, Knobs and the Details
I love to think of the hardware and knobs/pulls/handles on our furniture and cabinets as if they are jewelry for our furnishings. Those are the little details and extras that you can play with and have fun with and give a piece a whole new look by simply just changing those little details. Depending on the space you're working with, this can really enhance the overall look you're going for just with changing those simple … [Read more...]
