May Teatime: Hummingbird Scones

July 2, 2024

Good morning, friends! I have a recipe for you today! I've mentioned before that my daughter and I get together with our friends, Missy and her daughter, about once a month (or every other month) just to experiment with some tea and scone recipes. We take turns meeting in each other's homes and making a new recipe. It's kept pretty simple with usually just a scone and maybe one other small store-bought treat. But the main point is to get/give feedback on the scone and brainstorm how we might tweak the ingredients to make a better scone. My daughter and I hosted in May. We've pretty much gone to just putting everything out on our coffee tables instead of doing a formal dining setup. It ... Read more

May Flower Luncheon

May 28, 2024

I got to participate in something new last week which I enjoyed it so much! The assisted living facility where my son and I call BINGO put on a lovely "May Flower Luncheon" for the lady residents and I had the privilege of being a table host. The table hosts were asked to set and decorate their table with their own dishes in any style of their choosing that would go along with the flower theme and also serve the ladies at their table. Not only do I enjoy setting a table, but more so than that, I really love these sweet ladies, so this was an easy YES for me! I decided to go for a garden theme with floral prints, birds, and potted flowers. It was a mixture of something old, something ... Read more

Auburn’s Botanic

March 29, 2024

After staying overnight in Pine Mountain, Georgia, we woke Sunday morning to this pretty sunrise! We got ready, checked out of our hotel room, and headed to breakfast at Country Kitchen for pancakes and coffee--delish! We could have driven back to our home church that morning, but my daughter had a bridal shower to attend in Auburn where my sister's family lives, so we went to their church with them and then enjoyed lunch all together afterwards. After lunch, we had a little time to kill before my daughter needed to be at the shower, so we went to walk around Botanic, a beautiful garden center, complete with greenhouses, restaurants, coffee/bakery, and gift shops. It is just the ... Read more

The Azalea Bowl

March 27, 2024

Continuing on our springtime visit at Callaway Gardens, the Azalea Bowl wasn't quite at its peak when we visited last weekend, but it was still a lovely walk just the same. Another week or two and this place will be exploding with blossoms! After walking through the Azalea Bowl, we continued onto other trails and then later checked into our room at the Callaway Lodge before heading to a delicious buffet at the Piedmont Restaurant. Too bad I didn't get a photo of my plate(s). Prime Rib, seafood, sides, salads, and the most amazing dessert bar ever made for a scrumptious birthday feast! ... Read more

Spring Tulips at Callaway Gardens

March 25, 2024

Good Monday morning, friends! We had the loveliest weekend! On Saturday, I celebrated my fiftieth birthday. Yep, FIFTY. 5-0. It feels a little weird to say that, but I've never minded getting older and I'm really looking forward to my fifties! Saturday morning, my husband and kiddos and I drove over to Callaway Gardens' Spring Festival in Pine Mountain, Georgia. We spent the day enjoying the gardens and then spent the night at their lodge Saturday night. My sweet guy lavished me with all the feminine things my heart desired and let my daughter and me take the time we wanted enjoying the gardens. My son was okay with it all as long as we kept the food coming throughout the day, ha. I ... Read more

Spring Flower Basket

March 6, 2024

Spring is almost here! I've truly enjoyed the last couple of winter months so much, but my front porch has seemed dead for a while. Lately, I've just lacked motivation to tackle projects around the house, but I finally decided it was at least time to spruce up my front entrance. For a couple of years now I've been wanting a door basket, but everywhere I checked they seemed pricey. Last week I managed to catch the 50% off basket sale at Hobby Lobby so I bought a door basket, a few new flower stems, and a fresh roll of ribbon. This was so easy to assemble because I just dropped the flower stems in the basket and tied a simple, flowy bow on the side. No gluing or wiring required, and it ... Read more

Mother’s Day Fancy

July 18, 2023

I'm continuing to catch up on my spring posts and today I'm covering Mother's Day. We hosted my husband's side of the family this year and while my sweet husband insisted that I not work too much on Mother's Day, I assured him that getting to set a feminine table for the ladies would not be work at all but, on the contrary, would bring me great pleasure! I set up the dining room for the ladies so we could have a frilly table and the men had the kitchen table set just for them so they wouldn't have to endure the pink and fluff, haha! I've had this April Cornell tablecloth for so many years and I've always called it my "Mother's Day tablecloth" because the floral pattern and soft ... Read more
