Since I’m not on TikTok I feel a little behind on this roller skating trend that has tons of young girls learning to skate… and I am 100% here for it! Back in my day, it was our mom (or another family member) who taught us how to roller skate because skating was IT when …
Merry Christmas Lovecats! We’ve made it through the holiday season and here we find ourselves on Christmas day fortunate to be alive and well and though we may not have thrived in 2020, we have definitely survived 2020. This Christmas is a quiet one for us, as it probably is for you and your family …
True to form, as soon as I made such an outrageously bold statement, declaring that I AM going to continue creating art, as if to somehow speak it into existence, I haven’t touched a pencil or paintbrush since. (insert eye roll emoji here) I know myself so well in this capacity that I often hold …
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
I get a lot of questions about running Dogwood Tavern and what the business is like and I often have a difficult time finding the words to express it and share. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, I’ll tell you that much, and I don’t want to come off as negative or ungrateful but I …
We threw a Valentine’s Day pajama party at Dogwood Tavern because well, why not?! We LOVE throwing themed parties because A. there’s not a LOT to do on this mountain and B. it gives people something to look forward to and DRESS UP FOR… even though dressing up is not mandatory, it makes it way …
What I’m Wearing… * DL1961 Camo pants – I LOVE these pants. They are so soft and comfy and totally flattering. Size down because they run large. Also seen here in the Fall. * Black turtleneck sweater (old) * Army green bomber jacket (old – I think it’s a boy’s XL or a men’s large) …
Lovecats, I have a little something to share… He proposed on September 12th at Dogwood… he was bartending that night while I was hosting Karaoke… and though it wasn’t the most romantic proposal, it was quite fitting actually, since technically, Dogwood is where -and probably why, we fell in love. He secretly asked one of …
Happy New Year Lovecats! Okay, yes, I’m a little late, about 7 days too late for this, but here it is anyway 😉 Firstly, I hope YOU had a wonderful NYE and have had a great start to your new year. My new year still somehow feels like the old year and like every day …
I met these littles in the summer of 2017 when Peyton had just turned 6 and Allie was just about to be 4… Peyton is 8 now and Allie just turned 6 this month! I know it’s ridiculously cliche to say, but where does the time go? It literally feels like yesterday when we were …
What I’m Wearing… * Black crop jeans by MOTHER (faves! I have them in red too… wish they came in more colors. They’re comfy and super flattering) * Mama Bear tee from a local t-shirt printing shop MOUNTAIN AIR PRINTING * Vintage Ungaro blazer – you’ve seen a million times * Open Flower Ring with …
Speaking from experience, I can say that it’s far easier to be positive and see the beauty in life and everyday circumstances when everything is okay – or whatever that means for you, because everyone’s version of okay is completely different. It’s much more difficult to find that positivity and stay at a higher vibration …
I’ve been sick with a horrid cold/flu for the last week which has been quite a grand and welcome distraction from the stress I have felt over selling my house and the sadness I feel having to say goodbye to it. I’ve never left a house I was in love with and I find myself …
I seem to have been on a wild ride of emotional turmoil lately, but as the dust settles, the picture is getting clearer and the view is getting much, much nicer. I feel like kicking myself yet again for not only lacking patience but for doubting the Universe (as we all do in challenging times) …
