Thank you so much for stopping by THE HIVE today! I hope you'll get comfortable and stay a little while!

I saw the coolest looking coffee truck while takin I saw the coolest looking coffee truck while taking my boys to baseball the other day, so yesterday morning I stopped by for a cup! It’s called @extractionspecialtycoffee! I got a really good caramel macchiato, met the owner whose name is Roman (what a cool name), figured out that he knows my girl @chelseymcmillen_realtor, and also figured out that @brianleefuente’s business @aerobuildco in Nashville crafted his trailer! So much small world goodness! @extractionspecialtycoffee is parked in front of @magnoliapickleball for the time being and is open 6am until 1pm Monday through Saturday! Check them out and let me know what you think! 🤩

I might be enjoying it as much as (or perhaps more than?) he is! We made a “sleeping fort” and I may or may not have taken over and read in there one day while he was at school 🤣 It just seemed like a crime for it to not be enjoyed in the middle of the day 🤪 I’m on a mission to find wonder at every turn and, to me, this counts 🥰 Little joys are everywhere if you look for them!

How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art hou How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art house in my friend’s backyard? 🥰 She turned it into the bar for a bridal shower and it was so perfectly whimsical! ✨ (This was from October, but I realize I never shared. It’s too good not to!) Don’t think I haven’t been thinking about how/where I can add stairs to our tree house to create a similar vibe! 😆

Or you can screen shot and use this link: https://bit.ly/42x6FZs Not only do I love the look and feel of this thing, but daisies always remind me of my college/early post grad alter ego, Daisy Buchanan. 🤣 Sometimes I’d go with Penny Lane, then *other* times I’d swap it up with Penny Buchanan or Daisy Lane, just for fun! Did anyone else use an inaccurate name back in the day? There were just sometimes when I really didn’t want that weirdo at Club Fire to know who I actually was, ya know? 🔥😂 I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week!! Xo!
