Let's Go Shopping!

Hello everyone!

I hope you've had a good week so far.  It has been a productive week here at my house.  I've been doing some rearranging and cleaning out.  It always feels good to make changes that don't cost anything!  

Last weekend, I went shopping at one of my favorite stores.  It's in a neighboring town about 20 minutes from my house.  It's called Southern Oak Provisions.  Want to go shopping with me?  Well, I took some pics so you could enjoy the fun too.

Cheesy Rotini

Hello everyone!

I've been doing something new lately that has really helped make my week less stressful.  I've been doing meal planning on the weekend for upcoming dinners.  I plan my meals and check my pantry for ingredients.  Whatever I need, I go to the store and grab them on the weekend and then I'm all set for the week.  I remember doing that when I use to work outside the home, but eventually got away from it.  I must say it feels good to get back to being more organized!  Anyway, here is one of the dinners that I made the other night and I thought I would share it with you.  It's not very difficult and I think it makes a good meal during the Fall. 

You will need these ingredients:

Modern Farmhouse Additions to the Family Room

Hello everyone!

Ever since Fall arrived, I've been adding more warmth to our home with the addition of black and wood tones.  It helps off set all of the white.  I'm liking the modern farmhouse look that it's creating.  Since I have such a neutral color palette throughout my house, it allows me to change up accessories easily.  

The first thing that I did, was to move my white slipcovered chair out of the family room and into the sitting room. That allowed me to  bring in the kubu chairs that were at my kitchen table.   I  replaced them with the ones that were in my sitting room that have a slightly different shape.  Did you follow all of that?  






The slipcovered chair is now in the sitting room with room for an ottoman now.  


Ok, back to the family room.  Then I added more greenery around the fireplace.


 I added more texture to the coffee table with this branch.  I love the look of organic accessories.  


I stacked some weathered wood crates in the corner behind the sofa.


And added textured pillows with black and white fabric to the sofas.



This room is really a mix of French and modern farmhouse styles.  


Back in the sitting room, I filled the corner beside the large grey cabinet with this black and cream fabric container.  I love the texture it adds to the space. 


So, there you have it!  A little bit of modern and French farmhouse all blended together!  I think it works.  

Oh, and guess what happened to me on Wednesday, October 11th?!  If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know this, but I became a grandma!  Well, actually I became a "Mimi".  That's what I hope to be called.  

Meet Addison Jane.  6 lbs 7 oz, 18.5 inches long


So, now you know my life will become a little busier, and hopefully,  happier and fuller!  I look forward to spending a lot of time with her. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!
