Every once in a while my family and I make the four-ish hour trek to Atlanta, GA to visit the IKEA store down there. Normally we drive down early Saturday with enough time for a quick run through before driving right back. But, my husband has a new job that gives him Fridays off now….

Parade of Homes Tour: Woodridge
I love a good house tour – especially when it’s part of a parade of homes! A little while back we had the opportunity to tour seven beautiful homes in Arrington, TN.

Little by little I’ll…
