{affiliate links included} Back in the spring, I pulled some of my favorite markers and pens out of their packs and plunked them into this basket together creating a cheery, happy mix of colors and an easy way to have them within arm’s reach. I borrowed a few colored pencils from my son and added […]

Summertime Yellowy Lemon Wreath
One of my friends’ daughters posted a picture of her beautiful lemon wreath on Instagram. I loved its bright cheerfulness. Soon after, I was moving the flowerpots around on my porch and simultaneously watering them and moving them some more. I’ve rearranged the porch a few times this summer. In part, because of wind […]
In Which There Are Cute Clothes We Like
I liked this outfit my daughter put together and we ventured out one morning and I snapped pictures! We had fun with this Spring/Summer Style post over here. The hat is mine, but it looks much cuter on Renae. She’s been wearing it a lot. I bought it for our trip to Hatteras. I love hats, […]
Yarn Along {Keep It Shut and Truck Jam and a Dishcloth, Of Course}
Progress on my dishcloth from last week! Yay for progress! I was going to highlight something of Renae’s, but didn’t get that done.

We Disk Ground
When harvest is over and combines put away and days rolling on by, it’s time to bring out the tractor and the disk and start in working acres to prepare the soil and the fields to plant again. To work the dirt and kill the weeds and cut through the stubble. Everything has it’s […]

Instapost { July No. 2}
I have a lampshade in my living room. It’s making me laugh. Almost everytime I walk by it, there’s this part of me that goes, “I have a LAMPSHADE in my LIVING ROOM!!” With the same amount of wonder and amazement and drama and tone as Rapunzel in Tangled when she exclaims, “I […]
It’s Harvest
More wheat harvest. It’s such a big part of our lives. It’s harried and hurried in ways. There’s a sense of pressure to harvest the ripe crop before heavy rains or hail decide to show up. It’s beautiful. It’s tiring. It’s heartland of America. It’s blessing. It’s awe-inspiring. Those fields of grain producing from […]

Cupcake Liner Flowers
I’ve had a stack of white paper cupcake liners for a long time that I’ve eyed and thought, “I should really do something with these, but what?” I have a couple of recipes I like to keep foil cupcake liners around for, because the cupcakes stick to the paper liners in an annoying way. The foil […]
