Good morning and happy Monday. I think many of you are headed into graduation week. I hope it’s wonderful, if so. We are enjoying a more quiet schedule for a couple of weeks. Feels nice to get some things done around the house. In fact, we are jumping into a new project which I will share soon. Wrapping up life lately on this Monday morning.
FROM THE PORCH
We were enjoying the porch last night when the sky suddenly it up pink and orange. I had to run downstairs to see it.

GOD’S BEAUTY
This was the view from the backyard. It truly took our breath away. It was even shining pink and orange light into the windows and on the furniture. God never ceases to amaze me.
DATE NIGHT OUT
We hit up Culinary Dropout for date night. It was fun sitting next to a couple that was newly engaged. When they found out we had been married 23 years they asked for advice. We both immediately said always remain each other’s best friend and make date night a priority. That and always respect one another. Do you agree? It was so cute seeing them so in love and ready to take on the world. It also made us feel ancient but let’s not focus on that.
OUR NEW RUG
Over the moon with the look of this new rug in our dining area. It’s much lighter and more neutral than our previous rug. It ties in nicely with our family room and I love the colors. Turns out my sister and I both, unknowingly, chose this for under our tables. We have a way of picking out the same things despite being across the country from one another.
WINDOW TREATMENTS ON SALE
This sale comes at a perfect time for us as we are just about to order drapery panels for our dining room. I love this style and will order the oatmeal color (that is what I have in our guest room). These drapery panels are beautiful. The entire site is 18% off!!! So good.
BACKLIGHT PRODUCTIONS
Yesterday we watched the most special rendition of The Sound of Music starring one of our dear friends. We smiled the entire time. If you are in the area and not familiar with Backlight Productions, they work with performers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They put on plays and musicals and it’s phenomenal to see these adults come alive. The joy is contagious. If you know someone that could benefit from being a part of this, definitely reach out to them. The patience and love shown to each performer is remarkable and inspiring.
*The staff members are in all black and help each performer throughout the show as they need it.
TWINNING WITH MY SISTER
When my sister was here last week, she came out in these jammies. I couldn’t believe it because we have the same ones! They are incredibly soft and have held up for over two years now. I love them.
I have the tank top but she had this top to go with them and I immediately ordered it. She said to size up one. So soft and comfy. And a great set for when you are traveling or staying with others and still want to be in jammies.
BEAUTIFUL SET
A friend of mine is looking for an outdoor set for a smaller sized patio and I immediately sent her this one. It has phenomenal reviews, a fair price and it’s beautiful. And for the record, I would like to move into this backyard.
SATURDAY SHOPPING HOME
Shared some fun home finds in this week’s Saturday Shopping. These best selling swivel chairs are on clearance (52% off). And this beautiful bed is calling my name. So gorgeous.
