When life gives you lemons, your children make lemonade to sell to pay for their future college education. Just kidding... kind of. It’s almost summertime in Nashville, and that means one thing for my 6-year-old daughter, lemonade stands. She LOVES making lemonade and cookies and “selling” them to anyone who walks/bikes/drives by our house. And [...]
My favorite holiday of the year since having children: Mother’s Day. Just kidding. It’s not my favorite, but I do love this “holiday,” and not because I like to celebrate myself (though let’s be honest, I don’t mind doing that), but because I love celebrating my mom and all my friends who are also mothers. [...]
No Derby party is complete without a fabulous bar set-up. Now that we’ve shared two tablescape ideas with you (read Part 1 here), it’s time to talk about the cocktail bar. It was actually really fun pulling together all the details and accessories to style our Derby-themed bar. For décor we used items that I already [...]
And just like that, we’re off to the races yet again! May is such a crazy month for events, and it feels like everything is back-to-back, especially with Easter so late this year. There’s the Derby, Cinco De Mayo, Steeplechase (for all my Nashville friends) and then Mother’s Day. It’s just too much to celebrate. [...]
You hopefully know by now that I don’t cook, bake or anything close to it. However, when Paige Minear invited me to the inaugural biscuit making class at Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit in Atlanta, I put my “hot little biscuit” in the car and headed to Georgia. My mom has been buying frozen Callie’s Biscuits [...]
One of the most popular questions I’ve had this spring is, “what do I do for my son’s graduation party?” My 3 year-old-son’s birthday party themes are endless and easy to create, but I can only imagine how difficult it is to come up with creative ideas for a high-school boy (that don’t embarrass him- [...]
It takes a village to raise a child, and it certainly takes a village of vendors to pull together a first birthday party. I’m only kind of joking y’all. If you’re looking to achieve that “Pinterest-worthy party” without spending months crafting away or investing a fortune buying things you will never use again, you’ve got [...]
When I first met Paige Minear (of "The Pink Clutch" blog), I knew I wanted to be her friend. She’s southern to the core, and shares the same design aesthetic I love. She’s also a delegator in her own way, and that combined with her great sense of humor, made us fast friends. We decided [...]

I’ve come to find out that adults love roller skating as much as kids do. We’re also often just as horrible at roller skating as a child first learning. Yet, that doesn’t stop us, and it’s still a blast. And because Nashville experienced an unusually long and rainy winter, I’ve spent quite a lot of [...]
