This is my absolute favorite cocktail-- it started as a gimlet. Then one day I added some grand Marnier and Brian suggested a shake of orange bitters and seriously, it's perfect. Going to try to recap the proportions below.
Emmy's Spring Workday
26 May 2026
Got my sweet little helper with me. Toting her perfect for the occasion, stanley wagon! She loves working outside and helping mom with plants. I think Kate was at a sleepover so we got some quality mom and Emmy time.
DIY Sweatshirts, Volume 2
25 May 2026
I've made these before but the girls grew out of them so I tried again! I found the sweatshirts at Hobby Lobby, ordered these iron on letters from Etsy, ironed on and BAM! They have such a cute and special little sweatshirt. Try it!
Valentine's Day 2026

Always love to celebrate Valentine's Day around here! The girls love it so much and I think it's so sweet how they act like it's a real holiday :) Also love a good excuse for them to wear all pink, bows and hearts. They look precious!

100th Day of School
22 May 2026
Happy 100th day of school from the cutest little grannies around! Kate went more for headed to the club to play bridge, and Emmy is just in her PJs and a robe I guess? The glasses were their favs and Emmy wore hers the entire day WITH the lenses in. We had to pop them out when she got home and still wears these on occasion.
Rainbow Tigers 2026
21 May 2026
We're back! Year two of the rainbow tigers! And it was so much fun again. Sad we missed some games to snow and had no makeups. These girls are so fun to watch and to witness how much they have grown as players. Sad that Kate will age out of this team next year!
Trip to Asheville
20 May 2026
We took at trip to Asheville at the end of January to attend my cousins wedding. It snowed leading up to us flying out. We kept thinking it would melt. It didn't. We had to have my brother-in-law come pick us up and take us to the airport to get out of town. But we made it! And had zero travel issues the entire way there.
NYE 2025
19 May 2026
Breezed right over NYE and on to snow days in January. I'm so out of order. But I'm also so very close to catching up on this blog! I'm afraid to make another list after the one that had me at 60 posts behind. Eek! Anyway, we're here to talk about New Year's Eve! And we celebrated with the Lars again, our favorite!
DIY Broach Momento
18 May 2026
This was really fun and special to make. We added some bookshelves to our living room back in January and I've been working on styling just the way I like. I ran across this broach that my mom gave me after my mamaw passed. I remember wondering what I would do with it. When I found it, somehow the perfect idea popped in my head.
