We Broke Each Other

Ever since I’ve known Brian, his favorite food has been pizza. Doesn’t matter what kind- frozen, Domino’s, homemade…he’s crazy about pizza. Sometimes I would have all the ingredients out to start dinner and he would say, “Let’s order pizza instead!” I, on the other hand, have been trying to get Brian to eat healthier since…

New Traditions

I have a new TV obsession. I’m going to give you a string of emojis to see if you can guess what it is… 👨‍🍳🍕😭👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🌼😭🌱🌅😭 I’m sure it’s completely clear to you that the show is Chef’s Table: Pizza on Netflix. I’m a sucker for cooking shows and as I’m recently learning, anything that showcases…

A Workspace to Call My Own

Well, this is how it all started. My husband started a business and someone hired him to write blogs for them. He asked me to do it. For the last (almost) 10 years, I’ve been homeschooling our son, so I didn’t have a workspace, per se. I thought, no problemo. I love working from the…

Southern Social’s Beet Salad (Copycat)

B and I took a weekend getaway to one of our favorite places…Vero Beach! It was a wonderful weekend. Lots of good food, books, and beach time! I’ll keep the details to a minimum and get to the reason we’re all here…the food! I was reading a beautiful book called Blessings by Anna Quindlen, we…

Flowers are life.

I’m not exactly sure how my flower-love started. Maybe it was because when I was a kid, all my grandmas and my mom grew beautiful flowers. I think it was my mom’s garden that really captured my imagination, though. She has always planted the kind of garden kids love because it’s colorful and wild and…

Loving That Balcony Life

As nature people living in an apartment, a balcony/patio is a must. And we learned the hard way if that balcony/patio is in Florida and isn’t screened in, it’s essentially useless most of the time! (Because mosquitoes, bees, wasps, flies, lizards, snakes…you get the idea.) The people who built this complex did a very smart…

An Eggs-tremely Easy Summer Meal

A few weeks ago on the way home from church, Brian asked me the dreaded question: “what’s for lunch?” Normally the thought of cooking when I’m hungry and hot (our air conditioner in the car is broken right now) makes me agree to picking up tacos…but I’ve been trying to 1. Eat healthier 2. Stick…

Learning to Love Ferns

My experience with ferns up until this past year is dismal. Tragic. Best not to be recounted. Ferns are not like other houseplants; they do not bounce back from underwatering, and I get the feeling they don’t appreciate being in my house at all. Well, fine. Live on the balcony for all I care. I…

Coconut Casita Wonderland Garden

I’m fresh back from a mini-vacation at the most unique AirBnB I’ve ever seen…in pictures or in person. If you’re friends with me or Brian on social media, you’ve probably seen us freaking out about it already…but really…it’s so beautiful. So magical. It’s like falling down a rabbit hole and ending up in a cross…

Houseplant Tour

Let me start by saying this: if you’re not interested in houseplants, I’m afraid this blog will be painfully boring to you. There’s a possibility even if you do like houseplants, this blog will be painfully boring to you. I’ve lost all perspective about what’s interesting to other people. It won’t hurt my feelings if…
