I’m PRETTY sure these have been the most highly requested gift guides for the season this year… let’s face it, if you’re like me, it seems like your little ones get showered with gifts all year long [thanks to those amazing grandparents and chore money], so when it comes time for Christmas, I am racking […]

This post is sponsored, and paid for, by SunTrust. All opinions are my own. Happy Monday friends… have you recovered from the weekend of fun?? We partied it up with our godbabies in Knoxville to celebrate their 2nd birthday, but this mama is getting back into my holiday groove today. I am here with a […]

I’m hitting pause on the gift guides and such today and focusing on one of the things I love to discuss during the holiday season… family fun, quality time together, and favorite traditions we hold near and dear to our hearts. I’ve done a similar type post for the past few years and I love […]

Hey FIVE ON FRIDAY!!! I know it’s been awhile, but I thought it was the perfect opportunity to talk about five things occupying my mind before we head straight into the weekend [YIPPEE]… it’s been another jam-packed week of craziness in the Stoneking home,–shocking I know–but the next few days look super relaxing and restful, […]

This is always one of my favorite annual posts… for one, it’s so fun to look back and see the previous year’s photos, just how much the girls have grown and changed, how much longer and blonder my hair tends to get [so true], and how Jeff seems to reverse age, which I just can’t […]

I totally gave in… the girls hosted their very first sleepover a few weeks ago, and I can’t take any credit for the magic and wonderment that still has them talking. Jessi from Let it B Love reached out to me about one of their super sleepover parties and I instantly said YES when I […]
