Summer Entertaining with TIKI Torches

My sister and brother-in-law have a gorgeous backyard retreat and I recently got to try out some new products and since my backyard is not exactly photo worthy at the moment, I did my photoshoot at their house. It's been fun to watch their outdoor space really evolve and it's such a peaceful backyard retreat now.

New Orleans Flavor

Rhoda — Wed, 22 May 2013 09:00:22 +0000

While in New Orleans, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to enjoy some time with my niece, Lauren. She’s been living in New Orleans over 2 years now. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since she got married at the most beautiful wedding of 2011, but time does indeed fly. So, when I found out I was heading to New Orleans, I let her know when I’d be there and she arranged to meet up with me. She’s a practicing lawyer down there now, after passing the Louisiana bar, which I hear is no small feat. She’s a smart one, that girl.

Gulf Seafood Media Event

It’s amazing the opportunities that come my way and I never know what’s around the next corner. I recently got invited to attend an all expenses paid trip to New Orleans, to join a group of 14 bloggers/writers in the food industry to tour and appreciate the Gulf seafood industry. What better place to do that than New Orleans, known for delicious and tasty food. It was a treat to be included in this event and we all learned a lot about how the seafood industry works. I wasn’t about to pass it up. Eating seafood and getting to see my niece! Yes, please!

The Laundry Room Makeover!

It’s going to be SO great to have a fully functional, yet pretty laundry room space around here. I still can’t believe the changes when I look at the Before shots of this space. Dingy and dreary are two words that come to mind, but not anymore! Lighter, brighter and fun are now words in my vocabulary when I talk about my beautiful new and improved laundry room.

Feature Friday: Live Love DIY

When I saw Virginia’s house at Live Love DIY, it was especially fun to check out, since she and her hubby also have a 1970’s fixer-upper home and I do believe our homes had some things in common, like a big stone fireplace and lots of stained wood. But, they have been busy, just as we have been on this house and she’s taken that relic house into something pretty fabulous with lots of paint and DIY.
