I've been dying to do an Easter craft for weeks. In fact, I bought the supplies for this crafty dessert anytime snack about a week ago, constantly telling myself that I'd get around to making them. So, in the spirit of procrastination and all that goes with having children, I finally made my … [Read more...]

Twine Wrapped Mason Jar
I had extra materials left over from my Burlap and Lace Table runner, so I decided to use my extra mason jars for some fun rustic decor.

Dirt is Divine! 2014 Atlanta Dirty Girl 5k
Did you get down and dirty this past weekend? (But not like that... this is a family, blog, people! ) I did! You may have seen my tips for running a mud race last week, or read about when I got #famous on a local news segment, but my actual Dirty Girl mud run was this past … [Read more...]

When I finally went to college, the most wonderful woman in the world, Janet, taught me so very much about costume … [Read more...]
Red Met Racer Chris Buescher at Walgreens | Giveaway
If you saw my announcement last week, you'll know that Red and I were on our way to visit a local Walgreens in Atlanta and meet Nationwide Racing driver Chris Buescher. Now, I've been to my fair share of racing parties, and even placed a few bragging-rights wagers between friends, but I've never … [Read more...]
Little Repair Man
Daddy was working diligently on replacing the broken faucet in the guest bathroom this week. Red wanted to be with him so badly, he crawled over ALL the sink innards, strapped on the headlamp (even though Daddy could have used it) and went to work "helping" and copying... … [Read more...]
