Monday Morning Wrap Up

March 2, 2026 by Courtney 4 Comments

Good morning. I was up bright and early at 5:00 am today. Are you an early riser? I am much more productive in the earlier part of they day than the evening so it works for me. Wrapping up life lately with the Monday Morning Wrap Up.

LOCAL SPOT I LOVE

green mugs

If you are local, Small Town Charm in Nolensville is a fantastic shop. And everything they have for Easter and spring is so good. I thought these mugs were darling. This is my go to spot for gifts and they are crushing it right now.

FABRIC SAMPLES

fabric smaples

Lately I have been thinking I need to add some window treatments to our dining area. The windows are a bit tricky so I need to figure it out but I love this new line by Sarale for Two Pages. I have used their drapes in so many spaces and they are gorgeous. Truly custom without the high price tag. If you are interested you can grab the fabric samples here. These are the drapery panels I am considering.

THESE ARE SO YUMMY

biscuits

The other day my son requested biscuits. It had been a minute since I’ve made them and they turned out great. I use this recipe and freeze/grate the butter. Be sure you don’t twist the cutter when you press it down! So yummy!!!

*I use this 3″ biscuit cutter.

WEARING LATELY

belly bag

I’ve been carrying this belly bag non stop and love it. Great size and looks cute with everything. This green jacket is darling, too. A really cute cut and a nice weight for spring.

NEW PIECES

Just spotted these and love them.

  • powder blue mary janes – these are so cute!!
  • gathered sweatshirt – love the details
  • denim button down – great trim
  • neutral sneakers – I love these

NOTRE DAME WEEKEND

notre dame

This past weekend we went to South Bend to visit our daughter. We loved every minute of the weekend. We took in two hockey games and watched the Irish beat Penn State. It flew by but was so much fun. Loved seeing this girl in her element and meeting her sweet friends. I highly recommend hitting up a college campus on a non-football weekend for a more relaxed vibe.

*Wore this sweater (so warm and cozy) with this ruffled trim blouse.

LACROSSE GAME

We also got to cheer on our friend’s daughter in her lacrosse game. These girls are so talented! And brave for playing in 34° weather. Pretty chilly!

THE MORRIS INN

If you ever visit Notre Dame, be sure to pop into the Morris Inn on campus. A beautiful hotel and great spot to grab a drink or meal. It’s our favorite. And a huge thank you to our dear friends who let us stay with them this past weekend. It made the weekend that much better.

READING RIGHT NOW

I’m just about 60 pages in but LOVE this book. It’s hard to put down. Fantastic perspective on anxiety. If you are one who tends to worry, this is an excellent book.

We are looking forward to some spring temperatures here in Nashville. Very thankful for that. Headed off to my bible study group and then getting squared away for the week. Wishing you a great Monday.

*Answering a hard hitting question about social media in this post.

My Roots are Here

tennessee streets

Just the other day, I had a conversation with someone who I’ve always looked up to. We started our blogs around the same time and I always looked to her for inspiration on how to stay grounded in what truly matters. She has since stepped away from all of this and asked me, “How do Continue Reading …
