Ahhhh....Spring!

Guys, it is a glorious 70 degree sunshiny day and this girl is soaking it UP. Just makes me giddy all over for SPRING!

We're cleaning out flower beds and wearing our flip flops. 

Good times, I tell ya.

My living room is very neutral, so I don't have to do much to transition from winter decor to spring.

 (That's why I love my neutrals!)

But, hey, nothing says spring quite like tulips, am I right?! 

Put out some tulips, and wham, you've got spring decor.

I'm also LOVING the new gray and white check pillow covers from IKEA. You just can't go wrong at 2.99 apiece. 

 Do y'all think God can speak to you while you're shopping at Hobby Lobby? He certainly can. He doesn't often nudge me to buy stuff, but today, I was browsing through the store and came across this tiny little sign. It was just like God spoke directly to me through that little sign on the shelf. 

He said "hey, Sis, you need that. 

You need that reminder to let Me handle it all for you." 

And He was right. (He always is...) 

I've got so many things whirling around in my mind, 

concerns, worries, decisions...we all do. 

But I felt a load lift off me when I realized He's got this, and I don't have to worry about it! 

So yeah, that little sign, my own little hug from God, 

 came home with me today. 

It's Fall Y'all!

I'm seeing Christmas stuff popping up in all the stores, and I'm just like, wait, what did I miss here, has fall even got here yet??? We're still having 90 degree weather here in the beautiful south. And this girl ain't complaining. Nosiree. I'm loving it. Those cold dreary days when the kiddos get crazy wild with cabin fever will come soon. enough. 

My fall decor is pretty simple, nothing fancy here. I love my neutrals and lately I've had the urge to purge. I'm loving simple styles, and I'd love to lose some of my clutter!

Yeah, this piccy has nothing to do with fall, there's nary so much as a pumpkin in it. 

But Ollie was just so cute... 

Humor me.

If things go like they have for the last 15 years, my notorious black thumb of death will have it's way with the mums and they'll be conked out in no time. But still I try...

I needed a new table out here on the porch so I asked hubby to bring a spool home from work. (And he did, cuz he's sweet like that.) I just love it! I probably love it even more because it was free. Haha! Aren't free things just the best??

So I'll just be sittin' out here enjoying these last warm summer days, sippin' on my sweet tea, and whenever fall decides to actually show up, I'm ready for it. 

Good Old Summertime!

I absolutely LOVE summertime. I love the sunshine, flip flops, pool days, lazy mornings, homemade ice cream and snow cones, and I love the 4th of July! 

The front porch looks so cheerful all dressed up in red, white, and blue. I've even managed to keep a few plants alive - go me! 

I'm too lazy to make a new wreath for each season, so I just jab seasonal stuff into this same wreath for every holiday. LOL! I like it with the little flags and summer flowers. 

We always enjoy our backyard patio in the summer. The vintage glider has been in our family for many many years, and I just love it - this year it's aqua blue, my favorite color! But it's been known to change colors from year to year... ;) 

The fun pineapple pillow cover was in our last box from Gable Lane Crates, doesn't it look so summery?

I'll letcha in on a little secret, Walmart has the galvanized metal trays on sale for $5 - that's a deal! I got a round one and a rectangle one, and there's so many things you can do with them. 

 I hope all you lovelies have a beautiful and safe holiday.

Happy Independence Day, and God Bless America! 

Be Still....

...and know that I am God.

I don't have to worry about anything - He's got this. 

Just a little encouragement for your Wednesday!
