With summer cookouts, BBQs, and potlucks in full swing, it's easy to focus on the burgers, desserts, and sweet treats.

If you're looking for a fresh and flavorful side dish to round out the menu, this asparagus, tomato, and feta salad is a great choice. Tender asparagus, juicy grape tomatoes, crumbled feta, and toasted walnuts are tossed together with a simple homemade balsamic vinaigrette for a salad that's both delicious and beautiful.

It's light, colorful, easy to prepare, and perfect for summer gatherings.

Some people can function just fine in a little chaos. I am not one of those people 😅

When the house starts feeling out of control, my brain usually follows right behind it. But I also don’t want to spend all weekend cleaning either.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

Memorial Day weekend always feels like both a celebration of freedom and a quiet moment of gratitude for the people who made those freedoms possible.

I rounded up more than 90 patriotic quotes about America, sacrifice, courage, freedom, and pride — from meaningful Memorial Day quotes to classic patriotic sayings for summer gatherings and the Fourth of July.

Nothing humbles you faster than getting the text that buyers want to come see the house in an hour. 😅

After selling my own home — plus working for a professional home stager years ago — I finally made myself a realistic last-minute home showing checklist with the things that actually matter before buyers arrive.

It’s organized by room, practical for real life, and includes a free printable checklist to make showing days feel a little less chaotic.

I’ve become more and more convinced over the years that mirrors are the overachievers of home decor.

A good mirror can brighten a dark corner, soften a heavy wall, reflect light, and make a room feel more open without adding more visual clutter. In this new post, I’m sharing the mirror placement ideas that actually make a difference in small rooms, along with a few mistakes that can accidentally make a space feel more cramped instead.

I’m also talking about where mirrors work best, what they should reflect, and whether a mirror over the fireplace is really a decorating crime. 😄

Some seasons of life are exciting and heartbreaking at the exact same time. 🎓

Graduation comes with proud moments, big dreams, celebrations, and the realization that things are changing whether we’re ready or not.

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

I rounded up some favorite graduation quotes and graduation cap ideas that feel meaningful for this season of life — whether you’re celebrating your own graduate or remembering one of your own milestones. https://southernhomeandhospitality.com/

Cute until they start chewing through your patio cushions. 🐿️🙃

After trying all the usual squirrel deterrent ideas, I finally found one simple thing that actually worked — and it’s kept them from destroying our outdoor cushions for years now.

I’ve bought (and donated) more throw pillows than I care to admit over the years.

It turns out it wasn’t the pillows—it was how I was using them.

Once I figured out how many to use, what size works best, and how to layer them so they don’t look stiff or overdone, everything started to come together.

If your sofa has ever felt a little “off,” this breaks it down simply:

That yellow pollen dust is officially back right when we want to sit outside. 🤧

This is the easiest way I’ve found to get outdoor furniture, cushions, and patios clean again without spending all day scrubbing.
