I love the change of seasons here in South Carolina. While it’s not as noticeable as the northern states it does have some color changes that are spectacular. There are certain trees that change color, this one especially, so bright and celebratory. As if ringing in the beginning of the holiday season or a very special day…

I love a creative soul. I have no idea who carved this in the fresh concrete, but I do appreciate their magic. I saw this when we were out walking one morning – had to snap a photo. It makes me smile each time I walk past it.

I love seeing businesses decorated festively during Christmas (and any season/holiday) – We were recently at ESD, there were so many beautiful decorations everywhere, what a treat for the eyes! This is just a small snippet of decorations at Elizabeth Stuart Design (the aforementioned ESD) in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

The other day I made Ina Garten’s Parmesan Chicken Salad, which is a such a treat! It’s a wonderful sautéed chicken breast (with bread crumbs and parmesan) atop a simple salad of baby greens with a quick lemon vinaigrette. It tastes so fresh and delicious. I had extra chicken, so I made extra for us to eat the next day. Oh My!

The skies were so clear this day. The sun was brilliant and the trees seemed even taller for some reason. It’s so peaceful to take in nature, even if it’s just on a walk in the city. Take a deep breath, get out of the harried lifestyle. Time to reflect and be thankful.

This is our favorite room in the house. It always has been. I’ve written about it before – the perfect place to feel like you’re outdoors, yet cozily indoors. It’s where I love to spend time reading, or talking on the phone, or, or, or…

This year, we chose to do a simple, tasty Thanksgiving dinner. Something that didn’t involve so much cleanup, prep and ingredients. There were just the two of us, so something different was in order. I cannot tell you how tasty this meal was. We thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. Next time…

I love the look dormers give a house. I’ve never owned a home with dormers, but I like to think about how I would decorate these spaces. This plan has a fabulous front porch, I can see myself spending a lot of time on a porch as lovely as this. The windows and shutters as well as the front door and surround are fabulous. Another beautiful home by Our Town Plans!

A while back, I subscribed to Mark Bittman’s newsletter (famous chef, know for making really good food pretty quickly). I’ve made this recipe a few different ways and I have to say, the possibilities are endless.
