Hello all,

Well, I am finally doing what I wanted to do forever ago. Let me back up. When my parents moved two years ago Kam and I got a flat file cabinet that we use as a coffee table. It had art prints that my dad had made back in the 80's inside. Basically, these prints are vintage now.

I have been wanting to put these bad boys up on Etsy for him... and I just did that! Two years later.

For as long as Jenny and I can remember it was always fine china, crystal, chicken salad and flowers at our family functions. My mother and aunt gave my Nana a great 60th birthday party in Atlanta that I remember going to when I was little. I remember it being a beautiful day, everyone wearing floral dresses and watching a wedding take place at the venue. I also remember crying because my hair was so big from using sponge curlers the night before, oh the 90's.

We wanted to have a similar birthday for our mom to let her know how special she is. After all she did give us life. And she loves a good party with chicken salad.

A big thanks to Foxland Southern Grill venue, Nashville Event Planning for linens, and Craig Duncan Music for playing the violin.

For as long as I can remember my mom has wanted chickens. She has been dreaming of having farm fresh eggs at her fingertips for years now. Knowing my family does not do "average" my dad designed and built this amazing church chicken coupe for my mom.
 
My parents moved into a cabin in the woods about a year ago, finally having the perfect space for a chicken coop. The church chicken coupe is the brain child of my dad and took a few weekends in the summer to build. The coop is complete with a stained glass window!

The chicken coop over looks the pond...those chickens have the best view! This helps them produce better eggs :)

 I think my parents did an amazing job on the chicken coop... our family motto should be "do it creatively or don't do it all." Life is too short have an average chicken coop, right?!?

 P.S Southern Living Magazine or Country Living Magazine need to feature this chicken coop!

A few weeks ago I had some of my best friends over for our monthly dinner. In between our dinners one of the girls found out she was prego! I told her not to tell the others, that I wanted to surprise them at our dinner. Here are a few pictures, the theme was pumpkins and mums... complete with Pumpkin Spice Lattes!
