I mean WHO in the world could possibly not love Ina? It’s a comfort to watch her cooking in her kitchen, whipping up the tastiest and most beautiful foods you can imagine. Most of us have tried at least one of her recipes (or many more!!). This book isn’t so much about the food, it’s about Ina herself.

Well, it’s that time of year again – time to switch the clocks ahead one hour (lose one hour of sleep) for Daylight Saving Time (DST) tonight. I’ve never been a big fan of switching back and forth. Studies show there are health implications – what are your thoughts?

Isn’t this the coolest outdoor chair? Last week we planted podocarpus at one end of our pool and it turned that end of the pool into a cozy retreat. Next stop… a table, but for now I am thrilled with this purchase! I’ve seen these chairs out and about for many years, here are the details…

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin is Book 1 in the Darcy & Rachel series. Two strong women in vastly different ways. This book will keep you entertained in a “I-can’t-believe-she-just-did-that” kind of way. Read on for my review…

Can you believe that it’s almost spring? My husband and I had to run some errands yesterday, popped in Abide-A-While nursery in Mount Pleasant, SC. LOVELY gift items indoors, and the plants, trees, shrubs and flowers are over the top gorgeous. This orchid being a prime example – Wow!

Sometimes it’s nice to get away. When news gets to be a bit much we all handle it differently. We were walking one morning and I said to my husband, we should just hop in the car and head to…

We were heading back from Charlotte, NC yesterday and I saw “PEACE” painted on an overpass. How timely. Is there anything we should wish for more than this? Despite the heavy traffic the sentiment jumped out at me as something that is sorely needed (my opinion)… So thank you to whoever painted it, looks like it may have been there a while, but peace is always needed.

This is the morning view from a little shop we stopped in to grab a bite to eat after running a few errands. It seemed like a good day for a treat. While I was sitting at the table near the window I thought how grateful we are to be able to go on a weekday to a little place with a nice view and enjoy a little treat.

Just in case you’ve gotten busy with life, tied up with the news, or if you had good intentions but you started doing something else in the meantime and went down the rabbit hole…

After a temp of 80℉ yesterday, and a beautiful (but a bit cooler) sunny day today, it’s definitely feeling like spring has sprung and WHO in this country doesn’t need that right now?

This photo was taken on Murray Blvd last week, overlooking the Ashley River in Charleston, SC. After days of being indoors this bright, sunny and warm day was fabulous. With temps hovering near 60℉ the shining sun sure felt good. We decided to take a walk on “The Battery” and it was so pleasant. Many people out walking, jogging, fishing. Quite a delight to feel the warm sun on your face.

I feel like I give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews, but I spend a lot of time researching which books to add to my To Be Read (TBR) List. A LOT of time. So I have an excellent selection of books on the shelf to read. It helps to have found a few authors that I think highly of, especially an author with many books that I haven’t read yet (best feeling ever!) – This book was excellent on so many levels.

This is a photo I took of my husband last month in North Carolina. We happened upon a deep snow event that was so fabulous. This is a cold day after some of it had melted. What a great time. I asked him where we’re going to visit next month to see snow? Haha… December/snow! January/snow! We’re on a roll. Time to get some boots, right?

SNOW DAY! I know this amount of snow isn’t much to many of you who live in climates that regularly receive snow in total amounts that far surpass the amount we’ve received in Charleston, SC (and are still receiving) – I’ve read the comments on many posts with snarky responses. #itsnotacontest
