Five Years

Last week was a bit of a milestone for me.  Five years ago I decided it was time to enter the workforce.

I'd been at home raising my children for 17 years, the boys didn't seem to need me quite as much so it seemed to be the perfect time.  Enter Pier 1 Imports!  I had heard that Pier 1 was looking for associates so I stopped by to chat with the manager.   Within no time I was working!

 

I wish I had photos of all the folks that I've worked with at Pier 1, they've all made such an impact even if it was a small one.  They've kept me young!!! I have felt very motherly to some and very much a friend to all.  So to all of those folks a big thanks...to Keba, Carson, Erin, Matt, Melanie, Ashley, Abby, Kathleen, Jamie, Julie, Melody, Sam, Matt, Nicole, Tina, Cami, Blake, Sarah...the good one and the bad one(HA)Spencer, the other Matt you guys rock!!!

A special thanks to Claire and Mary for taking a chance on this stay at home mom!!!

A Halloween Tablescape

This year I thought it might be fun to create a Halloween themed tablescape, especially since I've not done one before.  Rather than something ghoulish I've gone for a cheery traditional look.

Fall Touches

The calendar may say fall but the temperature here in Alabama say anything but!  Truthfully, I struggle decorating for fall when we have still been in the 90's!  I've pressed on and have fall touches around the house...just for you all!
