It was disgusting, but I felt so accomplished knowing I did it myself. You never know what you might find here, so keep looking!

I don’t know about y’all, but I start my day with several cups of coffee. Coffee has been part of my life since I was about 2 years old. Yep. I’m addicted. I used to sit with my Memaw Teadoddle and drink coffee from cups with saucers. We always spilled a little in the saucers […] Read more…
What a fun weekend I had! We went to visit a potential college for my son and stopped by the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain. I was hoping to meet the Junk Gypsies, but I just missed them. There were so many amazing things to see at the fair and I came away full […] Read more…
