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…
12 Pairs of Sandals Under $30
Sandal season is upon us. Honestly, I’m usually not a huge sandal person. My favorite kind of shoes, during any season are my closed toe pumps. However, sandals are a necessity for me because I can’t exactly walk all around parks and zoos all summer with the Circus and Grunt Labor in a pair of pumps….
How to Turn a Side Table Into a Bench
This post is sponsored by Velvet Finishes, however all opinions are 100% mine. Sometimes I forget how much I love painting furniture. Before this project, it had been too long since my last furniture makeover. With a few furniture painting projects prior to this one, there seemed to be hiccups every time I turned around…
Be a Freak T-Shirts & Coozies
April seems to be quite the month of excitement around here. Last week, I announced that Rain on a Tin Roof would be starting local pop-up shops and today, I am even more excited to announce that we now have these babies in stock and available for purchase: Be a Freak T-Shirts and Fly Your Freak…
A 1989 Chevrolet Cheyenne Pickup Truck
I believe it was Rick Bragg who once said that Southerners date events in their lives by the car they were driving at the time. I believe this to be true. It was in a deep red Cadillac Sedan Deville that I got pulled over three times within one month for speeding. Whoever said Grannie…
DIY Kitchen Banquette
Disclosure: This project was in partnership with Behr Paint, however all opinions are 100% my own. Affiliate links may be included in this post. I really like building things. I’m not an expert in it by any means, but I’m pretty good at basic builds. I’ve most definitely mastered the art of those built-in shelves I make,…
Freak Show Friday: Things Southern Baptist Kids Say When They Grow Up
As you should know by now, I grew up in a small town. A very small southern town. At the time, I didn’t think so, but it really was a grand way to grow up. I grew up beside corn and cows. We had cable and as I grew up we slowly went from 17…
Spring Casual Chic Looks
I am over the moon thrilled that you guys liked the first official fashion post here a couple weeks ago. There was a bit of hesitation hitting that publish button, because like my home style, my fashion is sometimes edgy and different, but that’s what we’re all about here, right? Flying that freak flag. I…
