Well, Hello October.Goodness, it’s so good to see you.The kids & I had the best time this weekend. We brought up the famous “orange” storage boxes that holds all our treasured ghosts, spiders, birds & pumpkins. We all seem to treat those orange boxes like they are truly long lost buried treasure. They know exactly…
front porch tour
It was when I was thirteen years old, that I discovered what front porch sitting was all about in the South. For a Summer road trip, my parents & I drove from Southern California to Tennessee. It was the longest road trip in the whole entire world. But also the most memorable of my childhood….
Mini Chalkboard Chargers – Dollar Store Craft Idea
I’m typically not one of the smart bloggers that has genius ideas when it comes to Dollar Store items. Not that I’m too good to shop there, mind you. I like cheap stuff! It’s just that it’s packed in there & I never can think in packed spaces. But I guess it was finally…
raise our kids where the good Lord’s blessed ~ point our rocking chairs towards the west…
There’s a few requirements when it comes to porches, in my book. You have to have rocking chairs, some sort of swing if you have room & a table or two for some chips & dip. That makes a perfect porch in my opinion. We live in a small older home. Nothing fancy. But…
Dipped Votives – Dollar Store Craft Idea
This weekend I kicked it in high gear & finally started doing some major & minor projects outside. Literally with blood, sweat & a few tears I was able to get a few things done. More to come on some of the major stuff – soon! But for today’s post I wanted to share one…

Christmas Open House
This post is a collection of pics throughout the past couple of weeks via Instagram. I thought I would switch my annual Open House post up this year to share more of casual candids. Because in a pinterest world, it’s sometimes (at least to me) refreshing to see normal. Yes, I love all the fluff…
fabric & trim Christmas ornament {in the hoop}
You would think after 3 years of practice it would come easy for me to mix girl & boy stuff together. But it doesn’t. I think it’s even harder as the twins have grown older. But in my quest to do a “penny pinching, Martha style, Christ honoring Christmas” (to quote my dear friend Kerry)…
Monday Monday…so good to me
We had a great Fall break!We experienced a lot of firsts as a young family.Having the freedom to sleep in, do whatever we pleased – there’s no comparison. We also enjoyed having no schedule at all & eating bon bons or…. Pure sugar. I mean, it was Fall break for heaven’s sake. BUT…..Call me a nerd, but…
a Botox treatment for our porch part 1 {porch makeover}
If you don’t want to read about my porch getting a makeover & major Botox treatment, I will understand. Honestly. You can move on to the next blog. But this is monumental for us. Really it is. It’s been years over due. My neighbors can testify to it. All I know to say, is that my porch…
