And they want to celebrate! 🎉 This Saturday, October 4, they have a day full of excitement. Their first 100 customers that day will get a mini laundry care kit as a thank you!

They’re hosting a European Car and Motorcycle show (that we actually happened upon last year and enjoyed immensely) which also includes European beer and Plein Air painting by some awesome local artists! And you won’t believe the cars… they’ll have rides from ALL OVER. I’m not a “car person” but I loved this show last year! THEN, at 5 pm, @caramississippi is hosting a wine tasting with light food pairings! CARA is such a sweet animal shelter located in Jackson, and purchasing a ticket to this event is a wonderful way to support their lovely cause! Visit https://carams.org/wine-tasting to grab a spot! Of course, between admiring the cars snd sipping on wine samples, there are dozens of shops and restaurants to enjoy! I hope you’re gearing for a great weekend spent at @renaissanceatcolonypark! 🥰
I could not be any more pleased with the BEAUTIFUL I could not be any more pleased with the BEAUTIFUL pumpkin porch created for me by @gourdgeousdesignsms! And working with them was a dream! I sent them a picture of our space, told them what colors of pumpkins are preferred, took their suggestion on which of their packages best suited my space, and let them handle the rest! They incorporated the plants I already had, and truly just turned our porch into an autumnal dream! They are pretty tightly booked the next couple of weeks, but they do have a *few* openings this weekend and next weekend! If you are interested in hiring them, please shoot them a DM and they can tell you what they have available! Thank you again, @gourdgeousdesignsms team, for partnering with me! I just LOVE IT!! #brandpartner

I got the joy of reading two really sweet books to I got the joy of reading two really sweet books to Dempsey’s class today as part of his 6th Ear Birthday celebration! Demps specifically asked that I bring books about ears 🥰 I love these two books: 1. Can Bears Ski? is about a kiddo with progressive hearing loss who ends up with hearing aids! This book has some sweet tips on how we can all communicate more clearly with each other, and especially with those who are hard of hearing! 2. BOY is one of my favorite children’s books ever. It’s about a boy with complete, profound hearing loss. He does not speak- h ed only signs. His inability to hear the discord around him ends up being the thing that brings everyone together in the end! It’s a PRECIOUS book!! Comment BOOKS and I’ll send you links! It’s also linked on thehiveblog.com/shop-my-instagram 🫶
Fall meal of choice. 🧡🍇🍁 Heck, this is my Fall meal of choice. 🧡🍇🍁 Heck, this is my meal of choice in any season! But these colors scream fall which made them taste extra good! 😋 Also, @shopsummerhouse has awesome charcuterie boards and other little pretties to make your next board next level!
