Grab your solo cup and let's start pouring... PAINT, that is! With just a few craft supplies, your toddlers will be on the way to creating marbled masterpieces. You’ll need: • Canvas (ours were 5x5”) • Acrylic paint or pouring paint (if using acrylic, you’ll mix in a bit water to thin the paint) - use 2 or 3 different colors that compliment each other. We used pink & orange for one canvas and blue & white for the second canvas •3 solo cups for each canvas (more if you’re real

We decided on a last minute getaway this past weekend, and it was much needed for ALL of us. Some days, you just need a cozy hotel room, relaxation and room service to unwind and recharge. And as I’ve gotten “older” I am very thoughtful in how I pack for weekend escapes. I like clothes that don’t require a lot of fuss, and this romper is by far one of the easiest and most versatile pieces in my closet. The options to accessories are nearly endless. And look at Baby J. You can

Here’s what you can count on for summertime weather in the South: HOT temps, HIGH humidity, and HEAVY rain showers. I spend most days praying for nothing higher than 90 degrees, low humidity and no rain since most of my work days are spent in and out of offices all across northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama. And while the heat and humidity often seems like my worst enemy, it’s really the cold that kills me. And by cold, I mean offices that I spend my time in each day. So,

A pop up rain storm threatened our date at Barnsley Gardens, but spending a few uninterrupted hours with J was exactly what I needed over the weekend. If I’ve learned anything this year, I’ve learned to take what comes your way and savor every moment. And in this moment, I just can’t get enough of this peplum blouse.

My workday calls for conservative dress, so getting it right takes extreme balance. The LBD is a staple in my closet, as are accessories in fun prints like the leopard belt here or a punch of red lipstick. I find that some of the simplest pieces, combined together can make the perfect statement of “responsible, hard worker who loves to squeeze in a bit of fun.” Besides, I am only 29 (at least for another month)!

**Apologies for the mid-morning update, but some of the pictures were not loading properly, and I was a bit excited about this mostly-Target ensemble. I must give credit to my Ma for this fashion lesson…as long as you’re wearing a great pair of shoes and carrying a nice “pocketbook,” the cost of the dress (or jeans and top here) doesn’t really matter.

I picked up this little dress during my Spring visit to NYC at Mint, a favorite little spot in my old neighborhood, the Upper West Side. The popping cobalt color is one of my favorites, and the cut out design makes for a breezy summer dress. Feeling the need for a little Vitamin C, I added citrus accessories for a final punch.
