MY DECOR, FASHION, ENTERTAINING, AND PARTY PICKS FOR JULY FOURTH

I'll be ready to start sharing my Fourth of July decor later this week and next week, but I wanted to go ahead and share some of the things I'll be using before it gets too late in case you need to gather up a few things for your own holiday prep.  I've also rounded up some really cute fashion and entertaining picks- I'm loving all of the excitement for America's 250th celebration this year and seeing everyone go all out for the holiday!   Red Block Print Skirt -sz. M ||  3x6 Poly Bunting Flags 4 pack  || 3x6 Poly/Cotton Bunting Flag  || Supportive Flip Flops || Creamy White Bead Necklace    I love this red block print skirt for the season.  It's soft and lightweight with an elastic tie waist, lined, has pockets, and also comes in a pretty blue color. And, it's on sale for $18! I paired it here with a simple white tee but would be cute with a lightweight denim shirt tied at the waist, tank, or graphic tee.  I used 100% polyester bu......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Weekend! Since I'm back with you after missing a few months, I've made quite the list of things to share with you over the next few Five Friday Favorites posts!

HI! LET'S CATCH UP!

Hello friends, it's been a while since we've chatted!  I've had a semi-unintended break from the blog for the past few months.  No real reason other than time is just flying by and I've been occupied by other things! I've missed you, though, so let's jump back on board! I thought I'd take today to just share an update of what's been happening the past few months.  Some of you have been here for most of the 15 years that I've been blogging and have been so sweet to be interested in keeping up with our family.  This post is a doozy- longer than I intended but enjoy if you're interested! 😊 The last post I shared was our Easter table all set and ready to host our family for Easter weekend.  Then, the day before Good Friday, this happened!  That's part of our garage behind the Dining Room wall, and the hot water heater is in a closet behind the blue butterfly. Come to find out a hose had been leaking for who knows how long, and over time it seepe......
