It’s been a week since Thanksgiving 2013, and I’m just now getting five seconds to sit down and write you guys a little re-cap of our time. First, let me just say. There’s just something about hosting Thanksgiving that makes…
“The reason we struggle with insecurity is we compare our behind-the-scenes with someone else’s highlight reel.” -Steven Furtick I have a lot of mantras in life, and this is one of them. It’s so poignant. (What does that even mean?)…
As some of my Facebook and Instagram friends already know, I’ve recently become totally co-dependent on a genius menu-planning program that I stumbled upon just fateful moments before I binged on my husband’s Doritos. It was a desperate moment turned…
Table number 10, where have you been all my life, you sweet darling? Run away with me to the South of France. Or maybe just the South. Of the United States. That’s where all the good food is, anyways. You…
If this blog were being written on actual paper, it would have drips of vanilla ice cream and bits of mug brownie all over it. It’s remorsefully delicious. I’m a conneseiur of single-serving desserts, especially after 8 pm. The promise…

All my life the only thing I’ve ever wanted is to make a simple and whimsical Thanksgiving table. If by “all my life” I mean a week ago when I decided make 9,979,087 different Thanksgiving tables, then yes, I’ve definitely…
There was once a rag-tag first-grader with a blonde mullet who wanted to be a country singer. The mullet grew out, but the Trisha Yearwood deep inside never left. Today I want to introduce to you my sister, Becca. Wearer…
One thing I love about decorating for Thanksgiving is the concept of a harvest table just loaded with fall. This table is one of my favorites. Actually, it happened as a total Bob Ross moment, as most favorites do. (You know…a…
How about a little retro throwback for Table #3? I got a nostalgic vision of Sunday dinner at my Grandma Seibel’s and I decided to make this table as a tribute. My grandma Seibel’s table would actually have had gold plates, a…
Do you guys ever have that experience where you start decorating Thanksgiving tables and you can’t stop? (Yeah, me either. No big deal.) If you’ve been following me on Instagram, there’s no hiding I’ve been a Thanksgiving decoratin’ fool. But,…
