Every couple of years, the kids get to pick out a new backpack, which is one of their favorite things to pick out for back to school. We’ve always loved Vera Bradley backpacks…their prints are colorful and fun, they are comfortable to carry, they are sturdy and they are made to last.

Today, I’m sharing a Vera Bradley backpack comparison guide in hopes of helping you select the right backpack for your student. Vera Bradley backpacks are excellent for anyone who enjoys carrying a backpack too…from school, to work, to travel…they are the perfect everyday companion.

Sweet Tea Sorbet Refresher

Sitting on the front porch, in the evening, during the spring and summer months with a Sweet Tea Sorbet Refresher in hand is one of our favorite things to do as a family. We enjoy every bit of summer daylight that we can squeeze in and then we unwind together by taking a long walk or by sitting on the porch chit chatting and enjoying our refreshers.

Garden Easter Tablescape

I’m excited to share this year’s Garden Easter Tablescape with you!

Our Garden Easter Tablescape features a variety of fresh colorful flowers, natural elements, and of course some very cute whimsical bunnies!

Bridgerton Inspired Valentine’s Table Setting

Like many others, I have a bit of an obsession with Bridgerton…I devoured the entire first season within a matter of a couple of days and was left anxiously awaiting season two.

In honor of Bridgerton and Valentine’s Day, I decided to create a Bridgerton inspired Valentine’s Day tablescape fit for high tea with the Queen. This table would be perfect for hosting your girlfriends for a Bridgerton style gossip filled Galentine’s celebration.
