Friday Favorites

August 21, 2026

This week’s favorites start with a no brainer since we began the week by celebrating my little sister’s birthday…

Favorite # ONE

Gina

pictured with that famous lemon cake I single-handedly tried to destroy.

We have gotten a lot of rain lately.  I haven’t had to pull the hose around the house in over a week.  Even Mama, who has been known to water her plants right before a storm, has skipped watering.  I haven’t seen her in the yard even once.  But I’m not complaining because the plants and flowers love it.  They are my

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
