It is time to renew my license plate and TN recently changed their plate design. We went from having one of the prettiest plates to having a blah boring plate. When the plate change happened, I decided it was time to get a specialty plate to benefit an environmental cause. I've narrowed it down to … Continue reading License Plate Renewals

No spend August
For the month of August, I am going to challenge myself (and you) to not spend any money other than necessities (gas, food, shelter, etc.). So, no new clothes, odds and ends, nicknacks, books, new services (such as a new streaming service account. I'm not canceling what we currently have subscriptions to), and no manis/pedis. … Continue reading No spend August
Papier notebooks and cards review
My link for $15 off If you know me, you know my love of notebooks. I talked awhile back about how I got targeted on Instagram with ads from Papier and how I went a little wild ordering notebooks.

Caught my eye
I had a great break from my 30 day challenge. We went to Savannah for the 4th, enjoyed family time strolling the neighborhood on the golf cart and relaxing at the pool.

But, later today, I'll go on a walk with my "pack" and will make sure I have … Continue reading Sun safety

I've been trying to keep baby stuff to a minimum, but I highly highly recommend these items. 1. Halo sleepsack - we bought the fleece swaddle sleepsack. It was comforting … Continue reading 6 things that saved us with a newborn
‘Friends’ appreciation post
I'm rewatching Friends right now starting from Season 1. Every time I watch this show I laugh so hard, and I laugh at new things each time. Friends has something for everyone for different parts of your life. The show was just so well written and well acted and just seems ageless. I mean, even … Continue reading ‘Friends’ appreciation post
The many iterations of my Wildflower Garden.
In 2020, we decided to make a bit of our yard a wildflower garden. We threw some seeds down and basically just let it grow how it wants. No pruning, weeding, design, just wild. (I did pull some blue flowers up because they turned into burrs and it was a nightmare to pick out of … Continue reading The many iterations of my Wildflower Garden.
Caught my eye
Photo credit: madebyswimmer Madebyswimmer instagram These are the cutest little critters. The hens are what caught my eye, and then when I kept scrolling, I loved all the little critters. They're handmade with recycle fabric by 2 sisters in England and would make perfect gifts (for baby, you, or whoever). Their Etsy shop is linked … Continue reading Caught my eye
