It Wasn’t About the Hoodie–Not Really

I grew up not a UGA fan.  One of my earliest memories involves a vinyl covered stool that my Aunt and Uncle had in their home when we were visiting.  It had a Yellow Jacket on it.  My Uncle graduated from Georgia Tech.  From then on, I understood us to be a Tech family. Because… Continue reading It Wasn’t About the Hoodie–Not Really

Rabbit Trails and Songs Around the Globe

This morning the littles and I read in our history book about the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed Lisbon, Portugal on November 1, 1755.  What with it being All Saints' Day, many lives were lost while sitting in church on that tragic morning.  The ones who fled to the harbor were later lost at… Continue reading Rabbit Trails and Songs Around the Globe

Maybe that's why I love shopping at the… Continue reading To Monogram or Not To Monogram

A GW Boutique Tale of Transformation and Appreciation

It had been a while since I'd been to the GW Boutique before my visit last Monday.  A long while.  As in, if I sat down and thought about it, I'd probably find myself in the middle of withdrawals.  I'm not making light of withdrawals, y'all.  It is a serious need I have.  To find… Continue reading A GW Boutique Tale of Transformation and Appreciation

Because Life’s Too…..

Such a treat was in store for me today, and I had no idea. This afternoon my oldest and I headed out to run an errand.  The littles were off with the Fella, so it was just the two of us.  We were off seeking treasure--the last five jars of No Nut Butter that Aunt had… Continue reading Because Life’s Too…..
