I love playing with Fall colors. It’s a combination that manages to convey both warmth and coolness at the same time, and I wanted to create a table that I felt like struck that balance well.

A Roundup of Some of Charleston’s Best B&Bs
What could be more charming than a stay at a Charleston B&B? Not only are you surrounded by the history and charm of Charleston’s downtown, you’re actually waking up in it. I love that bed & breakfasts offer a great way to truly immerse yourself in the place you’re visiting. Personally I choose a B&B when I can because they just feel so much more intimate and relaxing. Add on to that the fact that in a Charleston B&B you can surround yourself with the luxury of a beautifully furnished room, many of which date back over a century – with high ceilings, antique decor, and the best of southern hospitality.

All The Info You Need To Plan Your Plantation Tour
Charleston’s plantations are a great way to add some history into your visit. I’ve been to all of Charleston’s plantations and I love that each one has something different to offer. I’ve put together this list of all the plantations in our area with a quick description of each spot, plus some of my personal favorite details, to make choosing between them a bit easier. I’ve listed these in alphabetical order, not necessarily in order of preference so be sure to take it all in before making your choice!

A Recipe From Tuscany: Pappa al Pomodoro
You may or may not be in the same boat I am, but I’ve reached the point in the summer where some of the plants in my garden are spent and ready to be pulled to make space for my Fall planting and others are making me work to figure out enough recipes to use them in. Insert tomatoes. I’ve made sauces, bruschetta, salads, salsas, soups, etc. I’ve eaten them cooked. I’ve eaten them raw. Heck, I’ve eaten them the same way others eat apples. I love them. And because I love them, I don’t want to waste them. So. If you’re also looking for a way to use up your garden tomatoes (FYI – canned tomatoes work just fine too) then consider this as an option: Pappa al Pomodoro.

A Rising Tide: The Female Entrepreneurs of Charleston
I’m loving the “Women Supporting Women” challenge that’s happening right now on Instagram! It’s such a beautiful thing to recognize and shine light on the fact that we women should be each other’s biggest fans. We don’t rise by pushing someone else down, but by grabbing each other by the hand and climbing together.

A Trip Along 30A
My family and I are currently covering the last handful of miles on our return trip home from our vacation – My husband is driving, the kiddos are sleeping, and I’m typing this post by the light of my phone. Our trip took us along 30A in Florida and I was so taken by some of the small towns we visited there that I don’t want to wait until tomorrow to start recapping our time in them.

Charleston Charm: The Old Village
I know I’m not alone in this, but I love walking around old, charming neighborhoods. It’s honestly one of my favorite things to do on a summer evening – pack the stroller in the back of the car, throw in some cold drinks and a snack, and just go find a nice place to walk and look at homes. It’s such a peaceful way to end the day. Plus, older established neighborhoods are the best places for long walks because the trees are bigger and fuller and provide plenty of shade – a very important factor when going on walks in the south!
