It’s my birthday, today! Gonna party all night ’til nine (cuz I’m old with four kids), cuz it’s ma birthday.;) Feeling blessed and grateful, waking up to so many sweet birthday wishes from family and friends, this morning! Seriously, my heart is about to pop, it feels so full. This “Sunday Best” is from last Sunday before church,
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year!! Hope your year is off to a great start! Most of us are still sick (all but Dad), but we still had fun ringing in the New Year (east coast time – we cheated), playing card games in our jammies. That may sound super boring, but we had the best time! The
Last Sunday Best of 2016
Soooo late to get this post up, but better late than never, right? Here’s our very last “Sunday Best” of 2016! I’ve had this coat a few years now, but I shopped a bunch of blush and ivory toned faux furs for you, below, for a few solid reasons: A faux fur coat isn’t super
Hi, We’re The Parka Family
We had brunch with Santa last weekend, and had the best time! If you live near the Sun River area, I highly recommend it. Loads of good, buffet-style brunchy munchies, and tons of the best hot cocoa ever. It’s held in a cabin-lodge setting, complete with chandeliers, Christmas music, and a roaring fire in a huge, stone
Merry, Merry
Goooood, merry morning! It’s snowing like crazy here, right now, which somehow makes my mind and body think it’s on holiday. Instead of jet-streaming to my coffee, I snuggled with my sleepy youngest on the couch (who was a big, yummy ball of fur blanket), and then played a raucoussy game of foosball with my
Draper James
Wowzers, can’t believe I’m just now getting around to posting the look I wore to Draper James a few weeks ago in Nashville… The past couple of weeks have been a bit over-scheduled around here, but a lot needed to get done before school starts next week, and before I’m in full-time teacher mode (I’m teaching
The Deep South
Come with me to The Deep South, today. Where every living thing is so lush and plump and thriving, the air itself down there feels and tastes like new green. Where the homes are settled, relaxed, and beckoning you to come “set awhile,” drink sweet tea on their porches, and watch your children climb their sturdy,
Restoring Lives One Elegantee at a Time
I don’t know what it is about date night, but I always seem to go for either some jeans, or a tee (just not both – dates are definitely comfy-cashz, but exciiiiting!!), and some red heels. This time, I nixed the jeans (warm evening, finally!), and grabbed my favorite reds, but my tee got one beautiful
Oh-veralls!
Overalls are not only still around, but they’re also turning out to be a huge trend for spring. Just to clarify…. I’m not big on “staying on trend;” I find that whole idea to be pretty superficial and inauthentic, because personal style should be YOU – not trends mounted on top of each other. That
Catch of the Day
Oooh, it feels like spring, and Mama has brand new stripes + flares. Life is good. We took our little ducklings to a small harbor with a park recently, and it was so nice to be outside in the mild, sunny weather, just watching boats, and running around on the grass. When life is simple,
