Change is a good thing.
I firmly believe it.
It can still be scary, strange, or even surreal. I think that’s why I’m so distracted this week. I haven’t posted quite as much as usual, and honestly, haven’t cleaned the house, cooked a lot, or completed any new projects.
I’ve been too busy thinking. And loving on my family.
Since the beginning of this year, everything changed. The blog has grown, I self-published a book, there has been magazine fun, and all other sorts of things going on. We’ll air on the Nate show soon, and you know what we were up to last week…it’s all been this huge present, a gift we never expected or anticipated. Or deserved.
Those two on the right are some of our best buds, and if things go well, they’ll have a show on HGTV pretty soon.
Wanna know something cool?
If the show airs, I think yours truly will be working with them.
Yep.
I’m still bewildered, but we had so much fun, and I LOVED everyone at the production company…and I think everyone agreed the whole week just worked. You know what I mean?
More details to follow, because as Layla’s post said, there won’t be a for sure yes or no until at least Thanksgiving…but it is humbling and crazy and thrilling. The offer alone is so amazing and again, WOW.
Does anybody wanna travel along to hang out with my kids?? :-)
Here’s to crossed fingers…
I’m so excited for all of you! You definitely deserve it.
That is the coolest thing ever! I am so thrilled for everyone! Not to mention a little envious! I’ve just started this blogging thing and I’m loving it and its people like you that give inspiration to us peons that don’t have a clue as to what were doing!!
I don’t think my heart could be more full for y’all!!!! So thrilled! And whatever happens will be perfect!
xoxoxo
congrats! absolutely let yourself enjoy the moment… the very best thing to do when you’re blessed with something good! I hope it works out! You deserve it
Totally deserved! Look at how hard you work and how talented. Yay for you! Says me
I’m excited for ya my friend! You’re in my prayers. It’s hard to balance it all. Love you, Lisa~
What lovely news for you! Wishing you the very best of luck on this fantastic new adventure. Good things happen to people who certainly deserve it
Congrats!
God opens doors. Sometimes, unexpectedly. Congrats on even having the opportunity! I never thought I’d sing on stage again, but, just yesterday, I accepted a teensy role in Madame Butterfly with a (small) local Opera Company. So, this week, I get to celebrate with you!
I have been lost in the decoration blog world for about three months now, and feel as if I know you and well as Layla and Kevin. You guys deserve everything coming your way….I hope the show becomes a reality! I’ll keep my fingers crossed. As for me, I am trying to get up the courage to start my own booth at a local place here in GA. You were very close to my house last week (while in Suwanee). I can’t believe you were just around the corner. Good luck to all of you.
How exciting!! I so hope their show gets picked up. I love their style and there is nothing on HGTV like them right now! Good luck!!!
Wow! How exciting for you and your kids. It will be an adventure for them too. Hope all your dreams come true!!
Thrilled for you, Shaunna! (and for Layla and Kevin!) Definitely well-deserved – you are super talented!

I have learned so much from both of your blogs and the four of you are so cute! Hears hoping for good news for you all! I can’t imagine the pilot not being picked up – will be front and center cheering you on! Good thoughts and prayers your way!
Craziness! I’m really excited and pulling for all of you. This is such a cool opportunity.
The fact that you don’t believe you deserve this kind of recognition, proves that you do. Exciting news, I hope it all works out for all of you.
So exciting! I’d be terrified as well if it were me.
Good thoughts and prayers headed your way as your life changes!
I read both of your blogs religiously. I googled “furniture painting” because I found a lovely old dresser I wanted for a buffet in my dining room & didn’t quite know where to begin. Your success is not a surprise to me as you are both so talented, humble & genuine. Congrats! And, my buffet turned out beautiful because of your influence on me.
That’s so exciting to contemplate. Oh, yes, Shauuna, I believe my husband thinks you’d be great on TV-I was showing him your dining room makeover, but it turned out your photo caught his eye and he commented on how cute you are! And of course you are, and mega talented as well, Best to all of you.
I bet you are just trying to take it all in, it’s SO exciting!
What an amazing journey you all are traveling! I’ve been bursting with bloggy-pride watching your development and success! So happy for whatever may come! ~ KIM
Gosh, it doesn’t seem all that long ago that we were sitting by the fireplace in Nashville. So much has changed since then! So happy for you – I’ve enjoyed witnessing all of your success the last several months. I don’t comment enough so I just wanted you to know I am thrilled for you guys! Your style & Layla’s is so complimentary – a show with all of you together would be amazing.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

I am soooooo happy for all of you! Change is good!
Count me in for the traveling nanny with the children. A dream job it would be. Congrats on the TV special and can’t wait to see it air.
You and Layla are awesome young ladies. I’d be a faithful HGTV viewer.
Congrats guys! So excited for you all! Glad it all went well!
That is soo exciting Shaunna!!! I love all of you and your blogs. All of your success is much deserved. = ) Fingers crossed for you all!!
