A Christmas Memory
By on December 15, 2011 with
I was in Kindergarten. We had moved back from Little Rock, Arkansas. My dad was a pastor and had spent some time serving a small mountain church community. We lived in a trailer and all I really remember about Arkansas was there was a horse that lived in the next yard. Early in the mornings, I'd go out with my parents and feed it carrots. I still remember the way it's nose felt in my open hand as it feasted on the treat. Being a pastor's family, meant we lived pretty simply. But, as a young kid, I never knew there were … [Read more...]

It’s Like Glitter On Top Of Cupcakes

A couple of weeks ago I flew into Baltimore for an LoveFeast inspiration weekend with Kristin. Spending an inspiration weekend together turned out to be just like we dreamed it could be when we started our LoveFeast biz and blog! We walked down the alley's of Baltimore and met in coffee shops with artists who just might show up in our LoveFeast Shop! We had lunch with friends at a table at the Golden West Cafe -- where our LoveFeast journey began. And went to a vintage jewelry pop up shop and to small boutiques … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

We are grateful for so many things this year, but today we'd like to say a special thank you to all of those volunteers who took time yesterday from their own food prep, to prepare, serve and share a meal with the women at Safe House of Hope. Their generosity and their caring hearts made the afternoon a special one. It was a LoveBomb in every sense of the word. Volunteers and staff mingled and ate with the clients at Safe House of Hope. Each person listening and sharing his/her story and what they were grateful for. … [Read more...]
Being a Guest in My Own Home
By on November 7, 2011 with
Last week, we had our friends Mike and Terrill stay with us as our guests. We got ready for them by cleaning their "suite" and primping small gifts. We wanted them to feel comfortable and welcomed. Even though they were here for work, we wanted them to feel like they could be here on their off hours and relax. Unfortunately, we had a weekend that was off the hook for us personally. I would love to go into detail and share with you all, but honestly I'm so emotionally spent from it all, I don't want to expend any more energy … [Read more...]

Preparing for Overnight Guests
By on October 28, 2011 with
For years, my husband and I have told people, we'd like to have a bed and breakfast or something like that, when we retire. We love having overnight guests in our home. Usually we host people we know, like our good friends Mike and Terrill who are coming today for a long weekend. Sometimes we have hosted people we've never met. I know some of you may be freaking out a little here...wondering how we could possibly entertain folks in our home we've never met, but I have to tell you, these unexpected visitors have all become … [Read more...]
Table Guest ~ Laura Tremaine ~ Hollywood Housewife
By on October 13, 2011 with
It's not uncommon for blogger friendships to start online. We first met Laura Tremain on Twitter. We became chatty - familiar. Then, while scouting outfits for a Blissdom (blogging conference) fashion post, Chris Ann game across "the dress" - only to realize, it was being worn by none other than Laura, their LoveFeast Twitter friend. A half a year later, the LoveFeast girls met up with Laura at BlogHer in NYC, to find that the launch of online friendships blossom IRL (in real life). We will always remember the London and … [Read more...]
