Sometimes it's good to take a break - especially when you know you can FALL right back into place when the time is right. FALL always seems to be the right time for me. Maybe it's because I'm a FALL baby and that's how my internal calendar cycles. Maybe it's the reminder ...

Spring Fever – Flowering Quince
I went to my hometown for a little girl retreat this past weekend. Our winter has been mild so Momma's Forsythia and Flowering Quince were already full of buds. I couldn't resist pilfering a few cuttings. I knew they would be perfect to bring a touch of spring into our home. Now I've got a bad ...
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine's Day from the Southern Fried crew! And remember... Sigh. I am blessed with a sweet and funny little Valentine (and a big one, too)!
Simple Valentines for Teacher
I was feeling a bit crafty and thankful tonight, so I whipped together this simple idea for BBC's teachers for Valentine's Day using items from around our home.I had my favorite cocoa mix on hand which feels a little more gourmet than others. Using a 12x12 piece of scrap book paper, I trimmed the width ...
For the Love of Hydrangea
Unless you are Madonna, here's a sweet twist on Valentine flowers. Instead of that expensive bunch of long-stem red roses that will soon fade away, why not opt for a lovely potted hydrangea? I picked this beauty up at my local Kroger for around $25 last weekend. Yes, it is probably a little overpriced. Where else ...

Last night was a bittersweet time for me. I submitted my very last Willow House party as a Director and Independent Consultant. 2011 was full of changes (I'll elaborate more on this in a future post) and in November it became apparent that my season with Willow House was coming to an end. I'm thankful for ...
A Look back at 2011
First things first - Happy New Year! I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted. 2012 is already going way too fast! Thank you to everyone who has dropped me a note while I was away. I appreciate your friendship!I'm so late on doing a recap I almost decided not to ...
A Merry Christmas Indeed
This Christmas will have to go down as one of the best so far. As a family we weren't harried or stressed. We weren't doing things down to the wire as in the past. We got a chance to slow down and enjoy our little family Christmas. Here are a few highlights...We hung our Santa ...
Last Minute Project: Santa Stop Here
A few weeks ago I mentioned to BBC that I was planning a surprise project for him. That child doesn't forget things such as this. While he was at his Mamu's today I decided to give it a go. The end project turned out even better than I imagined!My original plan was to take a ...
