Darlene and I have been at it again and I couldn’t wait to show you the design board for the living room. It’s been such a fun collaborative effort, although she does all the hard work of placing and measuring and editing and I do all the fun work and sending a million links of [...]

The pictures you’ve seen so far of our house did not include the garage. We had to use concrete spanners and just got those in last week. Now the garage is all framed up and we start with shingles tomorrow, I think. The framers will begin working on the porches. I’m also finalizing all [...]

Or if you are prone to outbursts of violence at dorky girls giving tours. Or if you, in general, have any other noble or pressing tasks. This is mindless banter. You are about [...]

Because I care for you and love to provide you with meaningful content, I give you this as a pure gift. Circa 1992 when Caiti-bug was a baby and I had the Dorothy Hamill. You’re welcome. Now onto, more Mother’s Day antics. My request was simple. I wanted to go to the park and [...]

Someone (ahem, I won’t mention any names but she loves Loretta Lynn and knows all the lyrics to ‘Satin Sheets’) had the bright idea that we should go spend Mother’s Day in the mountains with Grannie (my dear mother whom we’ve called Grannie since I was in high school). Steve and I have a 40 [...]

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
