Monday Morning Wrap Up

February 23, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Good morning. How was your weekend? I can hardly believe we are headed into the last week of February. This month has flown by. Do you feel that way? Sharing our Monday Morning Wrap Up with a bit of what we’ve been up to.

PAINTED SKIES

sunset

The sunsets have been so pretty lately. This one wrapped 180° around the sky and took your breath away. We happened to head out for date night at sunset so the entire drive was a view of God’s artwork.

OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT

opry

For Christmas our son gave us tickets to see John Crist at The Grand Ole Opry House. We had the best time. Crist was new to me and absolutely hilarious! My cheeks hurt from laughing. If you ever have the chance to see him, take it!

opry

This venue is so special. It was really nice to check out of the real world for a minute and just laugh. Such great medicine.

THE FLOWER TRUCK

The Factory at Franklin is one of our very favorite spots and this Flower Truck is the best. They will make you a hand wrapped bouquet and they are so beautiful.

STELLA RHODES

And if you are at The Factory, you have to check out Stella Rhodes. I wish every single piece of clothing would magically appear in my closet. So beautiful.

COFFEE DATE

coffee date

I actually gave up coffee about a year ago. I just feel better with out it, but it was really nice to enjoy a cup with my husband. If you ever hit up Honest Coffee Roaster, The Bootlegger is phenomenal if you like caramel. It’s subtle and sooooo good.

WINNING THE GOLD

Spectacular images via @offball. Did you watch the gold medal game? Wow! We were glued to the TV. Both teams were phenomenal. The speed of the game and the excitement was next level. So proud of these young men and the beautiful way they paid tribute to Johnny Gaudreau. It was emotional and so special. The winter olympics were so much fun to watch.

SAVE THIS ONE

chicken

Ignore the photo not making this look very good . . . it was great!!! A delicious chicken salad and so easy to make. I added avocado as well. You can grab the recipe here.

BRINGING BACK THE RUGBY

rugby shirt

Who else had a rugby shirt back in the day? I loved them then and I love them now. So preppy and classic. This one is crazy soft and so comfy to wear. I wore it out the second it arrived and had so many compliments. The barrel jeans are a great fit and price.

WEARING MORE COLOR

floral top

Trying to step outside my ivory all the time wardrobe. This top is incredibly soft and so cute for spring. And a nice transition piece with the darker trim.

This dress caught my eye, too. So pretty for upcoming trips.

This sleeveless top is really unique and fun. It’s an oatmeal textured fabric in person. So cute.

PRETTY CAMELLIAS

This camellias are so beautiful. And a great price (come in a set of 2). I am thinking about getting these for our backyard. The wicker basket is also really pretty.

BUY ONE, GET ONE

What???? If you are an Oliveda girl, everything is buy one get one free (while supplies last)! They are changing the label on their bottles and want to clear the inventory. Hello, amazing deal. My skin has never looked better after switching to this waterless, clean brand. I truly love it and love that there are no toxic ingredients, fillers, or fragrances. If you are new to the brand and don’t know where to start, these are my favorite products.

In case you missed this week’s Saturday Shopping post, you can check it out here. I am off to bible study which is always a really nice way to begin the week. I hope you have a great day. It dropped back to 23° today. . . . yearning for spring!

Caught My Eye | Traditional Pieces

February 18, 2026 by Courtney 2 Comments

The older I get, the more traditional my taste becomes. I am drawn to antiques and pieces with character. Furniture that exudes warmth and tells a story. I’ve also seen the prices on antique pieces and they are not for the faint of heart. I’ve rounded up some items that have caught my eye. All Continue Reading …
