It’s really fun to dig around in your closet, find a great top to pair with those distressed jeans, then a pair of shoes that set it off and finally a handbag that seals the deal. It’s also really great to be able to just grab one single hanger and have your outfit pretty much…

Cows, Corn, and College
As each of the grandkids were born, my Pap gave us a cow. Now, I should probably clarify what exactly this means. This does not mean that he gave us a cow as a pet and it was on a leash in our backyard and we went out and petted it anytime we wanted. Although…
How to Make Mood Boards
Some people call them mood boards. Some call them design boards. I like to refer to them as “the way I don’t eff up an entire room makeover.” Potayto, potahto. Tomayto, tomahto. Seriously though, design boards, mood boards, whatever you want to call them are so damn helpful when it comes to seeing what will and…
The Farm: Traditional Casual Master Bedroom Design
I’m going to be real honest. I didn’t expect to be this excited about how the master bedroom is shaping up at the farm. When it comes to design, I’m usually not traditional at all. I mean, have you seen the 70’s Landing Pad? But with the farm house, I felt going more traditional, but…
My Top Five Must Have Shoes
A great pair of shoes can often be my weakness. They come second only to a great band t-shirt. But. If I had to choose only five pairs of shoes to keep, these would be it. Not including a good pair of tennis shoes. 😉 These are the shoes I wear over and over and over…
5 Tips for Beautiful Planters All Summer Long
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Proven Winners, however all opinions and flower pot mishaps are 100% mine. A few weeks ago, I was perusing the Home Depot completely unaware of the valuable life lesson that was about to play out before my very eyes. The Circus and I had a slew of errands to…
How to Make a Party Banner with PicMonkey
The Circus has turned five. I’m not sure how we got here, or how we made it here all in one piece, but nevertheless, we did. #thankyajesus For her birthday party, she wanted a superhero theme – mostly Wonder Woman, but with a splash of Supergirl and Batgirl as well. #girlpower I was far too…
A Weekend in Nashville
For a girl who loves country music as much as I do, it should be no surprise that I love Nashville, Tennessee, Music City U.S.A. I grew up watching Ralph Emery host Nashville Now, The Crook and Chase Show and rarely missed a country countdown on TNN (The Nashville Network) from age five on. There…
Summer Sidenotes
When did life begin to move so fast? I would swear to you that just a year or two ago I had just turned 18 and had my whole life ahead of me – and it seemed like it had taken forever to get to that point. Then I blinked. All photos by Bev Key Photography….
The Power Piece: Blazers
I am a firm believer in the power of a good blazer. My power outfits always include a blazer. I also firmly believe that blazers can and should be worn with just about anything including, but not limited to jeans, shorts, dress pants and leather leggings. Yes, leather leggings. A good blazer can take an…
The Farm: Living Room Design Plans
*This post is sponsored by DISH, however all opinions are 100% mine. Affiliate links may also be contained in this post. So I warned you that the design of my grandparent’s house that we’ll be living in part-time was going to be very different than what our 70’s Landing Pad looks like. I wasn’t kidding….
The Easiest Way to Clean Really Gross Vinyl Upholstery
The Circus and I have trekked through some interesting places in our yard sale and estate sale adventures. There are times I pray she doesn’t blurt out something about how bad it stinks wherever we are or how dirty the place is. Oftentimes, I bathe her in Germ-X when we get back in the car….
Pap and Grannie’s Home
There’s not a house I consider my childhood home more than my grandparent’s house. From the time I was born until shortly after my parents divorced when I was 10, I lived in the same house. While I do have some fond memories of that house, the house that remains sweetest in my memories is my…
Non-Cheesy Mommy and Me Outfits
I’m not one of those moms. You know those moms. Those moms who ooooooo and ahhhhh over their kids every single minute of every day. Those moms who want to spend every waking moment they can with their kids. The ones who post a new picture of their kid on Facebook every single day and…
How to Rock Black Walls
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by SmithHonig, however all opinions are 100% mine. Affiliate links may be contained in this post. If there is one thing in the 70’s Landing Pad that everyone thought I was crazy for doing, it was painting the walls black. That move was also one that I’ve never thought twice…
Freak Show Friday: How to Raise a Kid with Personality
The Circus is turning five next month. The personality this kid has got on her is something else and nothing that I ever thought a five year old could possess. I’m already considering pre-checking myself into the local mental health hospital because if this continues and her personality grows as she grows, I don’t know how I’ll…
Four Ways to Wear Band T-Shirts
I am, by far, the biggest sucker for band t-shirts – preferably actual vintage ones or ones that have that vintage look. I can’t get enough of them. I have some I haven’t even worn yet. But, still, I want more. Honestly, I just want to create my own line of band and music t-shirts…
Cleaning Up Vintage Brass
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scrub Daddy. All opinions are 100% mine. I get giddy like a schoolgirl over a good piece of vintage brass. I already have more pieces of it than I can use in my own house, but with starting the pop-up shops, I’ve gained just…
