I love THE SCOOP. I get so many amazing ideas here, and I appreciate your participation as a linker or as a reader each week. Here's what was hot this week. 


Southern Abbey - Great Room Tour

Secret Redo on my Daughter's Room

I wrote this post last summer, but, at the time, couldn't decide whether or not to post it.  I just found it, and thought you might enjoy a peak into my life as a mom.  

This is what my daughter's room looked like for a brief moment in time.  This summer she was gone for 4 weeks to various camps and mission trips.  After she left for her first trip,  I came up to her room to put some clean clothes away, only to find that her room had been ransacked.  

On the Back Porch with Kristin of My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia

I have one of my favorite bloggers on the back porch today, Kristin of My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia is such a sweetie.  I love her gorgeous California home. She's a devoted mom too. Her son, Grayson, just went through a health scare and Kristin stayed by his side through the whole ordeal. I'm so happy he is healthy again. 


Hello everyone!

I’m Kristin from My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia and I am so excited to be part of Anita's On the back porch series! I have long been a fan of Anita's for her style, huge heart, humbleness and creativity I am honored to be here today!

Why did you start a blog?

What started as a little blog over three years ago to document our home improvement projects has become my passion. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined I would gain a readership, be given some pretty incredible opportunities and make some really awesome friends, a true blessing! Words can’t quite describe how thankful Ray and I are.

Guest Post at HOUZZ.COM

Did I mention lately that I love blogging?  SERIOUSLY!!

The opportunities that have come to my little corner of the world wide web have been amazing. I was so excited when HOUZZ.COM contacted me recently to ask if I would be interested in being a regular contributor. (Does anyone ever say "no"?)  Today my first article for HOUZZ.COM made the front page of their website.

I have been seeing laundry carts/baskets like these for some time, and couldn't wait to get my hands on one.

This week our Guest Host is Sara 

from Sweet Magnolias Farm

Hi Y'all .. we are Sara and Abbey Of Sweet Magnolias Farm. We are a daughter and mother team and the absolute Best of Friends.  It's such an absolute pleasure to be featured on this week's "The Scoop Party."

Having grown up surrounded by the country life, it’s no surprise that we share farm style living through our designs, decorating and blogging. We remember the days on the farm and long to return to a simpler time , a place where the quietness brings a sense of peace, where life moves at a slower pace, and the beauty of the landscape that surrounds you makes your heart sing each day.

I love The Scoop, and think it is absolutely THE BEST LINK PARTY ON THE WEB. I might be biased.
