Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...
Here, Kitty Kitty
At times, my stray yard cat, affectionately known as “Oreo”, is a lot of fun to watch as she plays beside me while working in the yard. And yet, at other times, she’s reminds me of why I could never be a farmer. I simply don’t have the heart for it.

One sure indicator that I’m sick: I sleep during the day. Brian and I share a lot of commonalities, but sleeping is not one of them.

A Trip Down Memory Lane
This morning I headed to Spartanburg to visit my great-aunt, Helen, my grandmother’s sister. Visiting Aunt Helen is always bittersweet in a sense. I obviously enjoy my time with her and I know she enjoys the company, and yet, every visit reminds me of how much I miss my sweet grandmother. The childhood memories begin to trickle into my mind from the moment I pull into her driveway. The...
We’re Back!
What a trip! Never having stayed at the Boykin Cottage, we weren’t sure what to expect – but our expectations were exceeded. The cottage is nestled in acres of woodlands, but not too far from Saluda’s quaint downtown. The original cottage is very old, but since purchasing the surrounding land, the owners added a bedroom and sunroom, updated the kitchen, and now rent it for...
