A Family Picture – the Outtakes

The Front Porch

TweetYou know we have been having a lot of chats on my porch and it has occurred to me that I don’t have my porch on my farmhouse tour yet. So please grab drink of your choice and settle in for a bunch of pictures of the story of our porch makeover. Seriously we took … [Read more…]

A Holiday Season Reminder

TweetThe holidays are upon us! I am beyond excited! So as we enter the holiday season here is a good reminder to myself and to any family out there with kids.

A Moment of Pause

TweetYou will never hear me say it’s better to be a stay at home mother or a working mother – that there is a right and a wrong way. I’ve lived both ways now and I truly believe that it’s a very personal decision and it’s not easy either way.   If you are lucky enough … [Read more…]

Thank Goodness for Spills ;)

TweetI’ve been trying hard to have less freak outs over the endless spills in my house – for my sake and my kid’s sakes. So today when Trey spilled his full glass of juice all over his lunch, the table and floor the minute after I served it to him, I took a deep breath … [Read more…]

Thank you!

TweetIt’s my first month anniversary in the blog world and I have to say I’m having great fun.  Having  a blog is a weird thing.  I feel like I’m sitting on my front porch talking to you but I don’t know who “you”are.  I don’t know who’s reading it, how many people are reading it, … [Read more…]
