The Big Reveal!

It's finally here!

We are ready to unveil the latest project from the sisters of

Southern in my Heart

and

Gourmet Meals for Less

Welcome to

Why the Picket Fence?


Well, in our dream world, the 2 of us could walk out our doors and meet at the fence line. With coffee cups in hand, we could chat about our homes, our families, our faith and all of the crazy stuff of our lives.
But with thousands of miles separating us, this new blog will be our virtual Picket Fence and we hope you will consider meeting us there as well!




I hope you will come on by today and learn more about our dreams for this new site. You will even get to see video greetings from each of us! Yikes!


 So, don't wait...come on over right now and visit us
At the Picket Fence!


And, if you feel so inclined,
grab our Launch Party Button
to help spread the word!











Can't wait to see you!

Vanessa

Ok...so I lied!

I know, I know.

I said yesterday that I was going to unveil the project my sister and I are working on.

But, here's the thing...

We were afraid if we told everyone the name of our

NEW BLOG

prior to our official launch date

THIS SUNDAY

with super fun

GIVEAWAYS

starting on

MONDAY

and running

ALL WEEK LONG

Well, some of you might just go over there now and try and sneak a peek. I'm not naming names but you know who you are!

We like to think of it like we are inviting you to a Blog-warming Party! But we aren't ready for you to stop by just yet.

There are still pillows to plump up

and

Floors to be swept

and

Toilets to be cleaned

We want you to be properly welcomed to our new home!

But, come Sunday, all of our favorite bloggy friends (that's YOU!) will get the welcome mat laid out for them.

Until then, this is all of our new home that we can let you see!

Be sure to come back tonight for

Inspiration Friday!

Last week was overflowing with wonderful ideas and inspiration and I know this week will be no different!

Thank you all for your sweet and encouraging words as we get ready to embark on a new leg of our Blogging Journey.

We are so thrilled you are coming along with us!

See you tonight!

Vanessa

Beyond the Blog

I know you have all be waiting...

Holding your breath...

Anticipation building...

Trying to figure it out...

Lying awake at night just wondering what we are up to.

Right?

RIGHT???

*cricket*

*cricket*

Ok, so maybe you haven't been THAT curious about what my sister and I are up to!

But, even if there was just the slightest bit of curiousity, I hope this will help a bit.

What does BEYOND THE BLOG mean?

It means that we are more than just women who

Decorate

and

Cook

and

Craft

(ok, so maybe I don't actually do much crafting!)

And, as Heather and I began talking about how we would like to see our individual blogs grow and develop, we realized that we both had the same passion...

You!

(But not in a creepy way)

We have discovered that the best part about this unique world of blogging, is the community in which we find ourselves.

The relationships and, dare I say, friendships we have developed with all of you have been an absolutely delightful surprise and blessing in this whole blogging experience.

 

Going beyond the blog means that we are getting ready to bring to you a place where community is celebrated and there is always something for everyone!
On any given day you might find...

Decorating



Cooking

Devotions

 

 

 

Party-Planning

Open Forum Discussions

Reviews
Inspiration Friday
Sister Saturday
Crafts
 (Don't laugh! I'm sure they will mostly be from Heather.)

Lots of collaboration between us and YOU

And just celebrating the craziness of Life!

(you know we are BIG into that!)


When is all this going to happen?
Well, come back tomorrow for our
Grand Unveiling!

And get ready to join us on our latest adventure!

We hope you will "Meet Us There"!
