I am so excited to share my good news. Our home, the Waverly River House is featured in the magazine, Front Porch Life, spring edition. It is a digital magazine, created to feature down home living, southern roots, and great food. I had been following and enjoying @frontporchlifemag and @thesouthernladycooks on Instagram for a while.

Featured in a Magazine!

Thank you so much for joining me here. Today, I am sharing our master bathroom design. Making a plan. It was important to me when beginning the process of designing the bathroom, that it flowed well with our master bedroom and that it had enough storage. Frank and I had been sharing the bathroom for […]

Master Bathroom Design

I totally skipped over 2020 here on my blog, but unfortunately, as most everyone, I pretty well just got through 2020 day by day, and did the best I could. I am starting this year with new goals and aspirations. Updating and continuing my blog is one that is important to me and at the […]

It’s 2021 and I’m back.

  Our property is like a little hidden jewel.  Our neighborhood is located within ten minutes of Waverly, in the Dry Creek Cabin Site community. This area was surveyed into approximately 60 large lots, by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1950’s and the lots were auctioned off.  The community stretches over several acres and […]

Our front entrance.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

The Pergola

I don’t know about you, but March is definitely one of my most favorite months, especially this year.  This winter has been very long and very cold, and I am over it.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like the cold, at all!  When it’s cold outside, I am not motivated to […]

Making Plans

It doesn’t happen often that we have all 5 kids and their families together, but this year we all plan to be here at our home for a whole day during the holidays, and I am over the moon excited.  Someone please remind me to take a picture!!!!  So, you know I am busy planning, […]

The kitchen finally happened!!!

Thanksgiving 2017 has come and gone, but I wanted to give you a recap of our home  before all of the festivities began. Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year, and this one was no exception.  This year was especially wonderful, because for over a year I haven’t […]

Giving thanks everyday.

I’ve known for several months that I needed to post on my blog.  Life is so busy and I haven’t taken the time to slow down long enough to do it.  So today, I am telling you all, that it is my new goal to post at least twice a month.  Now, someone PLEASE hold […]

It’s good to have goals.

Frank and I have always loved Christmas, especially when the house was full of kids.  My favorite tradition that our family has, is to go to a Christmas Eve candlelight church service and then have dinner at Waffle House and tip our server big.  It’s such a special feeling, being with your family and celebrating the […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
