Ah, the everyday. That morning cup of coffee, commutes, laundry piles, emails and kitchen cleaning that never ends. Thrilling stuff? Nope. Most of us treat the average day the same, chugging it down just to get to the weekend. But I have an idea. I propose a radical act of rebellion: let's celebrate the ordinary. Let's find diamonds in the...

We are three days out. What do you find yourself doing this week?  Are you the “I can just print the picture from the website and put it in a card.” or the  “Come on over and let’s sit by the tree with a cocktail.” I have found myself in both places throughout the years. But this year I’m feeling...

I love gift giving. It truly is one of my favorite things to do. I make lists, google ideas and I have to admit I love walking around malls, stores and searching for that perfect gift. I also know that there are a lot of people that do not share that same love. For many the holidays are filled with...

I remember the days when my kids were in college and would head home for the holidays. The house would always take a hit. I am sure you can picture it–shoes everywhere, dirty clothes bags piled in the laundry room and the constant pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen. They would drop everything, hug me, call friends and be...

My favorite outfit, some may call it my uniform is my Doris Pant and sweatshirts. The sweatshirt makes me feel casual and the pants make me feel put together. The combination results in me being comfortable and we are entering the season of cozy.  This What to Wrap Wednesday is talking sweatshirts. We have what you need for everyone on...

Most people won’t admit this but I will– I love to entertain. A house full of friends, family, laughter and food just makes me happy. I just can’t think of a better way to spend a morning (brunch), an afternoon (tailgating) or an evening (dinner of course!) then with people. If I think about it, I believe this is where...

What a great night last week! I have so many thank yous to talk about.  My nerves always run a little high when I’m putting on an event. So many things running through my mind–setup, stock, venue, food, and of course the fear of people showing up. Well you didn’t disappoint. The biggest thank you is to Jane 1530’s customers....

How early is too early?  I worked for Target for years and I always felt like I was celebrating holidays before everyone else. Labor Day meant Halloween, Halloween meant Thanksgiving and Christmas. And of course the New Year meant Valentine's Day. When I think about it now–I loved it.  I always felt on top of things. Dare I even say...
