Autumn Mug Giveaway (closed)

September 27, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

I’ve realized that I’ve only done one other giveaway, and that was to celebrate one whole year as a blogger. That was almost a two years ago! How time flies… Today, I wanted to share with my readers my love for a mug…and Autumn! A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of my mug […]

Shenandoah Caverns

September 21, 2014.Reading time 9 minutes.

Yesterday morning we headed out the door around 7:30 to start our venture into the Shenandoah Valley. As we drove, we were surrounded by early morning sunlight and fog, which made me wish I had a better camera because the views as we left the city behind and watched as the land became more rural […]

Sunday Morning

September 14, 2014.Reading time less than 1 minute.

This morning has been the best laid back Sunday Morning I’ve had in a while. Just sharing a moment with my love on the front porch with some toast, coffee, and my husband singing made up words to the tune of “On the Road Again”, by Willie Nelson, and much laughter between us. It’s the […]

DIY Painted Mugs & Vase

March 29, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Note: the paint used in this tutorial is non-toxic but not food safe. It is not recommended to paint where your mouth will go on the mug. Of course I learned that after painting mine, so I’m helping you to learn from my mistakes! I was itching to get creative and after remembering we had […]

Baby, It’s Still Cold Outside…

March 3, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

Who else is ready for Spring? Between the Polar Vortex and the snow storms we’ve had, including today, I’m done. I was excited for the snow days at the beginning of the season (because who doesn’t love watching that gorgeous stuff come down with a warm cup of something in your hands?), but I think […]

3rd Wedding Anniversary

February 26, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

{2.26.11} Has it only been three years?! Goodness! Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s only been that long, but we’ll be celebrating our 11th year of being together this coming April. You can bet we’ve grown a lot during that time – even while being married. We thought our relationship wouldn’t be much different with […]

Gimmie Some Bloglovin’

February 21, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

I’m so excited to announce that I’m finally on bloglovin.com! What a cool site to get an up-to-the-minute feed on your favorite blogs and when they post! I’m sort of sad I waited this long to join because I’ve had some serious fun finding new blogs to read and looking at how others have set up their […]

Valentine’s Day 2014

February 15, 2014.Reading time 2 minutes.

Okay, it’s been weeks since I’ve blogged and the truth is – I missed you guys! But I just couldn’t find it in me to find any clever Valentine’s Day prep stuff or sweets to show you like a bunch of cool blogs were doing. Even though I’m a festive kind of gal, we keep […]

Mulled Wine

December 26, 2013.Reading time 4 minutes.

This year marks the very first Christmas I’ve spent with my in laws! The Sellers’ have a fairly large family, however, we had a very low-key day with all of my husband’s siblings in other cities celebrating with their families. It was just David and I and his parents. His mom and I did a […]
