Eeeeek!! I can’t tell you guys how happy my sister and I, as well as the rest of the LM staff, are for this adorable couple and their beautiful marriage. Last Friday evening on September 20th 2013, our lovely barista Jocelyn had plans to marry her best friend, Justin, in an outdoor ceremony in a park within our little town. Due to severe thunderstorms in the forecast, plans had to change. Now let me give you a little insight on Jocelyn. She’s one of people that’s very shy when you … [Read more...]

Yay for autumn!! This is by far my most favorite season of the year; I mean come on the gorgeous leaves, the cooler temps, football, sweaters and pumpkin lattés?!! …love love love. With the autumn season here, my glue gun and scissors are busy just about every day with some sort of little “project” to add to either the shop’s décor, or to my home. I’m all about doing things as inexpensive as possible, but as tasteful as possible…so naturally as I flip through the pages of my fall issue of … [Read more...]

I’m proud to live in a small town. A place where businesses happily bestow shoe polished windows cheering on our high school team, a place where jerseys on game day are considered dress code, a place where football on Friday nights is as familiar as breathing, and a place where the sound of the victory bell is the sweetest music you’ll ever hear. Even back when my sister and I were dreaming about the idea of opening a coffee shop we knew one thing for certain, our drinks would be … [Read more...]

August 25, 2013 by 3 Comments
You know that Mom crying in the school parking lot on the first day of school? Yes, that would be me. My son Reid started his very first day of preschool last week, and I was a mess. Any mother reading this post surely can relate. It’s incredibly hard to let our little ones go. I was SO worried about my little guy and him “being brave” on that first day, as well as making friends, getting to the potty alright, having socks on that “feel comfortable” (good grief does anyone else deal with … [Read more...]
