I’ve been taking advantage of all the Black Friday Sales and today’s Cyber Monday Sales to knock out most all of my gift list! There are a lot of…

We were welcomed back from our fall break trip to New Orleans with glorious fall weather! I don’t know about where you’re at, but here in Tennessee, we were all living through the summer that wouldn’t end. I wasn’t sure if we were ever going to get a reprieve. My crew has been dreaming of…

A couple of weeks ago, I told you about Woot – one of my go-to places for snatching up products at deep discounts that I can’t always buy at my go-to thrift stores. 🙂 I also told you about their upcoming birthday week and all the great deals they would be having.

Well, I kept a close eye on their site in case they had anything we’d been holding out on purchasing or in case I saw any great potential gift items for the holidays. I ended up walking away from their birthday week with a few fantastic bargain purchases….

During my last Keepin’ It Real Home Tour, someone couldn’t believe that my family and I were actually living in our home given the condition it was in –  they even said our house and yard should be condemned.  Now, I know there was a toilet in the yard during that tour, but really, that’s grounds…

This post is sponsored by Blue Apron.  I never cook on Sundays. I know that being a southern woman I am supposed to cook a big meal every Sunday afternoon and have everybody and their mama over for dinner, but I don’t. I’m sure that some of the great southern women who have went before…

Every time I go to pull out my nice china, I kick myself.

Because its not there.

It never was.

I have my great grandmother’s floral patterned china which is perfect for Easter, but no wedding china of my own.

That is the number one item I wish we’d registered for.

Also, I did not intentionally make it wedding week around here. It just kind of happened that way. So yes, while the legality of my marriage is in question, these are all items I wish we would have registered for. I mean did we really need that rug I was over in less than six months? No, we needed this stuff.
