Fruit crisp {with a big scoop of melting vanilla ice cream} is one of my favorite desserts. I love using apples for a warm fall dessert but I also love making a fruit crisp in the summer with fresh or canned summer fruit. To make a summer fruit crisp, fill the bottom of a buttered 9×13 […]
Creating a Smart Home
I received free product from Verizon Wireless but all thoughts and opinions in this post are my own. #VerizonSummer Do you have a smart home? A home that’s taking full advantage of the technology available? In the next few years, entire cities will be smart. Lights, meters, parking garages, and more will all be run […]
Watermelon Cooler
We eat a pile of watermelon every summer. It’s such a refreshing treat and the perfect way to beat the heat. I serve a big platter of watermelon every time we grill or entertain … it’s always a crowd pleaser. And for those times when something a little sweeter is needed, I love to blend it up […]
Aloe Peppermint Soothing Cubes
While I wish my kids never got sunburns or bee stings, they do {Luke had a double whammy week with both a sunburn and a bee sting} and I want to soothe their discomfort as quickly as I can. I’ve seen lots of aloe ice cubes on pinterest but I decided to take it up a notch […]
Wrapping Up June
I can’t believe June is over. I want summer break to slow down a little so we can savor these long, uncomplicated days. I have a feeling life doesn’t plan on slowing down at all so before we jump headfirst into July, let’s take a peek back at the top ten most popular posts in […]

Oven Baked Brownie S’mores
It’s summer which means lots of outside play, summer bucket lists, movies in air conditioned theaters, and sweet treats. Have you got an afternoon to fill?

A Summer Tablescape
This post and giveaway was sponsored by the author of Dear Carolina and Mikasa. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I love summer entertaining: simple grilled meals, chilled pitchers of sweet tea, fresh flowers, and long conversations. Southern life seems simpler in the summer when life slows down just a little. This summer tablescape […]
20 Sunny Ideas
After months {and months} of flooding rains we’re finally seeing the sun again … and although it’s hot, I’m loving the bright days. That, combined with my recent crush on the color yellow, has me loving all things sunshine. It seems I’m not the only one loving sunshine because I found piles of bright and […]
DIY Hose Holder
We recently cleared out our back gardens {they had been overtaken with oak shoots} and since we’re cleaning up and reorganizing the yard, I decided it was time to make a DIY hose holder. You can only look at the hose lying in the garden for so long, right {wink}? This is my kind of […]
Family Photo Tree
I finally finished a project that’s been in the works for over a year. It just kept getting put off and put off but our family photo tree is now complete and adding some memorable and colorful decor to our upstairs hallway. A year ago, I bought an old door at Habitat ReStore, painted it bright […]
Wood Burned Wood Slice Magnets
The fun, repurposed industrial locker door memo board I hung in Luke’s room is sporting handmade, rustic wood burned wood slice magnets with outdoor symbols. Once Luke’s rustic room makeover {finally} happens, these magnets will fit well with the new theme and right now they just look really neat against the metal. To make these simple […]
Magnetic Locker Door Memo Board
Sometimes the simplest projects turn out to be favorites and this magnetic locker door memo board is one of those projects. It involved just a few minutes of work to get it hung and make the rustic wood slice magnets {I’ll share that tutorial tomorrow} but it looks so fun and adds a unique, old […]
