  • blogmas day 15 – merry christmas eve – baby it’s cold outside

    It’s early Christmas Eve morning here in the Hippie Hut and I can’t wait for all of our family Christmas-ing. ❤ Like much of the country, it is so SO cold here in the deep South – much colder than we’ve seen in a long time – and my joints are just not loving it… Read more

    Happy Christmas Eve eve, y’all. ❤ I’m so excited for Christmas.

  • blogmas day 13 – remembering coach.

    Today was Coach’s memorial service in Starkville.  His passing is still just surreal and the entire Bulldog Nation is aching – but he was honored so well.

    Happy (very) early Monday, y’all. Blogmas Day 12 was a bit delayed because this weekend we celebrated Christmas with our precious family and it was just wonderful.

  • the eighth day of blogmas is a terribly sad one.

    Unless you are under the very largest boulder, you know by now that Coach Leach, our Mississippi State Football Coach, has passed away. You’ve likely heard whether you are a sports person or – like several of my nearest and dearest – a “Go Sports!” person, since he was such a larger than life figure… Read more

  • blogmas day 7 – seeing ellie.

    I love Ellie Holcomb – and Drew too – and my husband and I enjoy streaming their live shows for date night when we can but I haven’t gotten to see them in person live before now. Tonight was Ellie night. ❤ (I have been looking forward to it for some time.) Sara and I… Read more

  • blogmas day 6 – it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas.

    With the chaos of this semester, I am finishing my Christmas decorating much later than I would prefer to – I’m one of those people that would decorate in August if I could 😉 – but I am so excited that the Hippie Hut halls are now decked and it is so pretty and cozy. … Read more
