On the same day as our school carnival, we were invited to the birthday party of a little girl–the girl of whom my 6 year old son has been heard to say that he is “so in love!” Our schedule was a bit crazy that day (when is it not?) and when it came time […]

My house smells incredible, right now (how nice is that for a change?)! There is something about the smell of freshly baked bread that makes a house feel like a home.

I’m lucky to have another one of my family members here to blog about home decorating projects, while I am working on some of mine (this is the only time you’ll hear me complain that my pantry is too big).
