Queen Anne’s Lace & {Desktop} Wallpaper
I got an email a couple of weeks ago from the owner of a little bed & breakfast nestled in the foothills of the mountains in upstate South Carolina. It’s aptly called “The Queen’s Cottage”, and Queen Anne’s Lace is their “thing”. She had stumbled upon the ‘love story’ and photos I had posted last May and was hoping to… Read More
July {Desktop} Wallpaper
I’m in desperate need of a date with my camera. In fact I’m hoping to squeeze one in tomorrow – with my kiddos – out on the railroad track near our house. With a trunk. At sunset. woah, mama. I’ve never pulled off a “shoot” like this – perfect lighting, delicious loin-fruit {if I do say so myself}, surreal backdrop… Read More
I’m Alive!
We’ve been a busy bunch around here over the past two weeks! Between family festivities, the dynamic food-friends-fun combination, weeding and watering our growing veggie garden, multiple dips in the lake, our first camping trip, a week of recovery from laser eye surgery, and far too many trips to the Whippy Dip to mention, I haven’t had a moment to… Read More

Is not the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds in the sky. They do not plant seeds. They do not gather grain…. Read More
Letting Myself Off the Hook
I am so enjoying life right now. Soaking in my little ones. Chillin’ with my man. Connecting with family and friends. Digging into some really interesting books {3 paragraphs at a time}. Purging my cupboards and the forgotten corners of my house and shipping boxes off to Goodwill. Occasionally trying new recipes – just because I want to, or sitting… Read More

At The Well, Guest Post {Teach Them}
When we pick up gorgeous, deep red leaves from the ground during fall, or catch the intricacies of the perfect snowflake on a black-sweatered arm in the chill of winter, it is here that we cultivate an awe for our Creator in their tender hearts. In chalk Bible stories sketched out on the driveway, alongside scribbled hop scotch squares. Or… Read More
