Welcome to my weekly update for February 6, 2022! Today is my dad’s birthday so we were able to go home to Asheville to spend the day with him. Happy birthday, Daddy! A few weeks ago I found myself pretty close to Sullivan’s Island while running some errands. It was a beautiful weekday morning so […]

Welcome to my weekly update for January 30, 2022! My mom loves reading all of your comments on my blog and she thanks you for the birthday wishes last week. She asked me to post this picture that summarizes how we deal with snow/ice in the south. Pay attention to the headline on the bottom. […]

Welcome to my weekly update for January 23, 2022! This has been a low key week. Last weekend was cool and rainy here in Charleston. Back home in Asheville, they did get that 8+” of snow in the forecast so we’re glad we cancelled that trip. As I prep this post on Thursday night, we’re […]

Welcome to my weekly update for November 14, 2021! My little sister turns 40 today! I can’t believe it! She’s with her husband visiting an old friend at her home in St. Croix, USVI for two weeks. There are worse places to spend your 40th birthday. As I write this on Friday night, I have […]

Welcome to my weekly update for November 7, 2021! Last week I asked if you thought I should attend YALLfest, a young adult book festival, even as an adult reader, and you all agreed that I should. I’m looking at the festival schedule now and figuring out which panels I’d like to attend. But I […]

Welcome to my weekly update for October 31, 2021! Are you and/or your kids dressing up? I love costumes but I’ll probably just stick with my “Boo!” shirt this year. My husband and I spent an afternoon on Folly Beach this week. It was so nice to soak up the sun and listen to the […]
