I hear these words often. Occasionally it’s a less civilized grunt from Bug, or simply the sound of the seal on the refrigerator door breaking, compliments of miss Bean, but without a doubt, it would seem I am raising two little loin fruit who have the uncanny ability to nibble enthusiastically throughout the day. Which, […]
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 […]
Let’s Talk about Sex, Baby
Picture this… The kids are finally down and my sweet man walks through the door. It’s been a long day for him, but he’s finally home in his haven, so his guard drops, and he’s recharged…and there stands his woman. Halle-lujah! I, on the other hand, have been home in this ‘haven’ with the kids […]

‘Tis the Season…
…to eat obscene quantities of apples, apple-inspired dishes, to throw left-over apple cider into pancake batter, and get the low-down on gettin’ cozy between the sheets. Okay.

Baby Smooches
I’m home. The retreat was fabulous {or at least I thought it was…and I didn’t put anyone to sleep}. Our 1st annual church harvest party was a blast…we broke in our new fire pit, took 17 people on a hayride behind my hubby’s sexy tractor, taste tested 8 different pots of chili, sipped hot cider […]
Baked Acorn Squash with Cinnamon Apples
You may recall my love affair with squash last Fall. It was an all-consuming, heaven-touches-earth, extravagant bliss in a bowl type experience…and I’m just aching to relive it. If it hadn’t been raining and cold for the past 2 days {and if I wasn’t still wearing slippers…and if I wasn’t feeling lazy}, I’d run out […]
A Daddy’s Lens & Some {Killer} Photography Tips
When asked what we had hoped for during those first few months of pregnancy, gender wise, of course we delivered the customary, good parent response…”a healthy baby!”. But if we had been brutally honest, I would have totally whispered…I’d love a girl! And I scored with our sweet Bean. My hubby was just thrilled with […]

The Pierced Bean, An Escape & Other Such Nonsense
Meet Bean. The Rockstar. Sporting jeans, a tutu, and cowboy boots, and rocking the glittered hair, tattooed arm and pierced nose, she was quite the sight to see, riding along on her preschool “Little Rockstars” parade float. She rocked! And I was one proud mama. Speaking of piercings and pride, miss Bean got her […]
