Saturday / Maybe it’s because it has been several months since we’ve been to Europe, or maybe not. But whatever the reason is, lately I’ve been waking up craving that European lifestyle. The simplicity, the walking, the ease. Yep, pretty much every last bit of it. So in a bid to put my travel blues […]

Saturday / It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and we plan on holding onto this feeling (and our Christmas tree) for as long as possible. While I do normally lean towards neat and tidy, there is one thing that I really don’t like to clean up until it feels like I absolutely have […]
First We Dream
A few weeks ago my Mom reminded me of the wise words shared by Carl Sandburg, “nothing happens unless first we dream.” And since that moment, I really haven’t been able to get his words out of my head. First we dream. First we dream. I’ve always been a bit inclined to be a “goal […]

Saturday / Our Thanksgiving week home with family went by way too fast. In fact, it sort of went by in the blink of an eye. We basically laughed our tushies off all week, and then today it was time to say our goodbyes. And yep, we definitely all had tears in our eyes. Living […]
thank you.
To be honest, last week came and went, and my Thanksgiving Day gratitude post never made it to the blog. And here we are today on this fine Friday, and as you’ll see, my post is neither a Friday Find nor a Friday Five. But here’s the thing – I want to share with you […]
tuesday notes & links
We are home, and all is right with the world as my Mom would say. There is really nothing like being home with family for the holidays. My heart is truly happy. We are back in the country, back to doggy snuggles, parents hugs, and family togetherness. Oh yeah, and butter burgers and custard. Lots […]

Saturday / When Ryan and I were recently talking about our favorite childhood games, “Guess Who?” immediately came up for me. And then when I heard that Ryan had never played it before? Well, I basically ran out of the house to go buy us a copy. “Guess Who?” was easily one of my favorite […]
