I’ve had the same Christmas wreath on my front door for a few years now. It was inspired by Pinterest (this pin) and seemed easy enough to make. I was working a palette with red, white, and lime green that year and it ended up being a pretty and fun design.
…Garage Pegboard Storage
When I was last working on the garage, I installed a pegboard. Let me tell you, it’s been a-MAZ-ing! It got a lot of loose stuff off the shelves, things that didn’t fit in bins or otherwise just didn’t go there.

Happy Birthmonth To Me
Its a real thing. It is.

Today’s letterboard in honor of everyone shopping for gifts at stores that carry things you like, too.
It’s Thanksgiving week. Don’t forget to set your scales back ten pounds.
Swedish Chef Halloween Costume
I have to admit that Halloween is probably my favorite holiday of the year. I know it’s supposed to be Easter or Christmas, and I do love those, and especially the reason for those seasons! But there’s just something about dressing up for Halloween that strikes my fancy. My favorite costumes are homemade – I’ve been Effie Trinket, Maleficent, a hockey player with a missing tooth, and many others.
This year I picked my husband’s favorite muppet, instead, as a surprise. He loves the Swedish Chef! And it was pretty easy to do.

Everyone is complaining about Christmas carols in November. I’m already drinking for St. Patrick’s Day.
Georgia / SC Trip Part 4 – Charleston
This is the last post in a series! I feel like I spent as much time writing about my trip, as the trip itself! I guess that means it was a really good one, huh?
You can also read Part 1 – Atlanta, Part 2 – Atlanta, and Part 3 – Greenville.
Wednesday I rode with Mom and Dad to my sister’s house near Charleston. Thursday was Mom’s actual birthday and we’d scheduled a trip for the three of us to take a boat over to Bulls Island. You can only get there by ferry or private boat, and it’s almost completely natural. It’s a great place for birds – which ironically isn’t why Mom or Laura wanted to go! But it’s also got a beautiful beach with shells and a section known as the Boneyard, which is full of driftwood, fallen, and dead-but-still-standing trees. It’s a good thing I’d practiced that walking earlier in the week, because by the time we finished my iPhone said I’d walked 7.2 miles! Holy moly. It was totally worth it though.

Georgia / SC Trip Part 3 – Greenville and Pretty Place, SC
This is part three of my recent trip to Georgia and South Carolina. If you’d like to read more about the first weekend near Atlanta, you can check out part 1 and part 2.
After I got Peter tucked onto a Southwest flight back to Orlando, I drove from Atlanta to my parents’ house – and my second hometown – Easley, SC. It’s right between Greenville and Clemson. I basically got there in time to go to sleep. The next morning Mom and I returned my rental car and then did some shopping and had her birthday lunch at Trio in downtown Greenville. Did I mention it was her birthday week? That was the whole reason why I stayed up there longer and didn’t come back home with my son. We had some great mother-daughter time, something we don’t get much of since we don’t live closer.
