Local Small Shop Love!

Along with my love for Birmingham and the exciting things going on in our fair city, I have been reflecting on what makes us maintain the charm that sets us apart from other larger growing cities: Small Businesses Small businesses are the backbone of what makes Birmingham feel like home as our neighbors are the…

Charming Chattanooga

Well, it’s very safe to say that I have not been as diligent in updating the blog as of late. My life has been consumed with everything life related and I haven’t been able to escape and explore as much as I had hoped. For that, I must ask forgiveness, mainly from myself. My creative…

A little love from my kitchen to yours

So it’s been a minute since I’ve shown the blog some love. Life has been just a touch busy, but in a delightful way. I’m planning my next feature post but had to hop on to show some serious love to my new favorite culinary compliment: Pink Himalayan Salt. Y’all, all the feels, seriously! Not…

Home Sweet Homewood

In my little corner of the world, I find rest and solice from the hectic GO-GO-GO world I choose to live in (see, Mom?- I’m owning my life choices. #growth). My #HomeSweetHomewood house is a quiet respite on the sweetest little cul-de-sac this side of the Mississippi with quite possibly the best neighbors in the…

Many thanks to The Atomic Lounge!

Upon reading my last post regarding my Downtown favorite spots, The Atomic Lounge was gracious enough to thank me for the nod in their direction and they named a beverage after me. I’m humbled and honored to have been added to the menu for the time-being. Birmingham friends, get out and get there! It’s such a cool…

 A little taste of my favorite place 

It’s no secret if you know me that I have a crush on someone ever-morphing and revealing the beautifully restored character  within. I wish I could say that that someone was an actual living and breathing human but we’ve yet to cross paths so far. Until then, I’m laying all my love on this fair…

Love is (always) in the air!

It’s the wedding weekend of one of my favorite couples! This union is special to me because I had the privilege of introducing these 2 fabulous people to each other. Of my many setups for friends, 2 have resulted in marriage and I consider myself blessed to have been the chosen vessel to help bring…

Losing a Friend

How does one bring oneself to a place where they are ready to say goodbye to a loyal, constant, and cherished companion who has done so much life with them that they hardly recognize themselves without her shadow following closely behind? I don’t think we are ever ready. I’m facing these questions as I sit…

Going through changes now

So while I had full intentions of making this blog more of a travel blog focusing on the culture and charm of small towns in the South(and it WILL be a place for that), time has not proven to be on my side for that endeavor as of late. The reasons for this have been…

In the interim

More of a journey of the heart this go-around: Paige’s Ponderings

Blame it all on my roots: Calhoun County Part 2-Jacksonville, Alabama

Part 2 takes us to a place where some of my greatest memories reside: Jacksonville, Alabama. This preciously quaint little town is home to the university where I chose to further my education after high school. I had only planned for Jacksonville to be home for a year before transferring to the loveliest village on the…
