Inspired Hike

While I was in Tennessee at The Inspired Retreat, a group of us Ladies took an adventure and Hiked down rough terrain, with drop offs like no other! Eeeeek- One small move and you would go tumbling down the cliff. None of us had any idea of  where this trail would end and at one point we weren't even sure it would end. I couldn't believe this trail was built into nature the way it was. The trail is part of Evins Mill historical land mark and has been there for many years. Once we got to the bottom, there was the most beautiful water fall! Definitely worth the Hike. We snapped photos and then laughed about our Hike back was ALL up hill... … [Read more...]

Kids Table

Celebrate with a Kids Table too Plate | Placemats | Tumblers | Napkins I'm completely obsessed with Thanksgiving it is my very favorite Holiday! We always have enough family coming for the Holidays that we set up different tables for dinner. Over the last few years I've decided why decorate one when you can style and decorate more. The kids table is just as important as the adult table in my mind. Aren't these turkey themed decorations adorable. If you have little kids you could use these plates and tumblers throughout November for other meals as well. I love the idea of the placemats being coloring … [Read more...]
