Building a business. Building a life.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed during the holiday season! This year, in addition to the normal Christmas frenzy that comes with a busy household with four kids, I am entering my first holiday season with Wood’s Mercantile. I have been trying to figure out… Continue Reading “Finding New Traditions…”
I am writing this to you from the privacy and relative comfort of our RV in High Point, North Carolina. This is Market week in the furniture and home fashion world. We are spending time this week shopping new products for our store. Back… Continue Reading “Practicing What I Preach: Learning to Shop Small”
I need to reflect on my busiest-of-autumns so far. I have spent my days getting my work done for Wood’s and planning our second High Point Market visit this month; my evenings have been filled with The Sound of Music. My five-year-old daughter, Lillian,… Continue Reading “My Favorite Things”
I have been silent on social media the last month, but my life has been anything but calm. Kevin and I bought Woods Furniture in Clarkesville, Georgia on January 3, 2019 and my feet have been running ever since. How do I mold a… Continue Reading “How Do You Crop a Rainbow?”
First, I need to tell you why I am awake. Today was my first, official day back to work in almost 12 years. I hit the bed tired. Exhausted. Just before 1:00 AM, my will-be-five-tomorrow daughter, Lillie, starts screaming from her room across the… Continue Reading “It’s just after 1 AM and I should be sleeping…”

She interrupted the silence and… Continue Reading “I know. It’s not really camping.”

As fledgling members of the Georgia Agritourism Association, we attended a convention at Unicoi State Park absorbing all we could about this potential new business venture for our family.… Continue Reading “Planning our next steps: Agritourism in Georgia”
We now have two trips under our belt. (How does time get away so fast?) I really need to give you an update! Our first trip to Pigeon Forge, TN was the last week of November. We stayed here: https://koa.com/campgrounds/pigeon-forge/ Since this was, at… Continue Reading “Go! (Some of what we learned…)”
Today is the day! It’s 5:00 AM and I wanted to write to you before the day gets away from me. I planned our first trial run–a five day trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. We are going to Dollywood, seeing a couple of shows,… Continue Reading “Get Set!”
To catch you up: After looking for the “perfect” used coach for our family–class A diesel pusher with bunkbeds–for months, we found it! We purchased a 2010 Newmar Ventana. It took about three weeks after making our decision to bring it home. The dealership… Continue Reading “Get Ready!”
