I love you.

Remember shopping for school supplies, and the list said you needed 24 crayons? And then, on the first day of class the kid next to you pulled out the box of 96? Oh. The envy.  Anyone? No? My sister gets it. She called from the clearance aisle of Hobby Lobby, and announced that there were two sets […]

Fifty-six. That’s the number of years my grandparents have been married. I love getting to see couples just starting out, but it’s even more inspiring to see those who have built their lives together. Thank you for teaching me about commitment and loyalty.  And on this important day, congratulations to you both.

Couldn’t help but take some pictures this morning. Everything is so green. Happy Tuesday!  

We’re so lucky to have you, and love you so much. Thanks for all that you do. Happy Mother’s Day. This is 1962 (not sure why it says Feb ’71). My mom was 4. I love this picture of my grandparents. Is she not the most beautiful person you’ve ever seen? Try not to ask […]

I came across this picture today, and it made me so cheerful that I wanted to share it.  I think after this morning’s snow, we’re all in need of a little spring. That, and the artist in me loves purple and yellow. Happy Wednesday!

The first day of Spring is this weekend, and I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t excited. Not that it means we won’t get a good snow storm or two… I’ve been eyeing this little bird’s nest at the Art of the Hills office for months now, and finally took my camera to work this […]

  The names of my cookbooks say it all. With titles like, 1001 Short, Easy, Recipes and So-Easy Slow Cooker, it isn’t hard to see that my talents aren’t typically showcased in the kitchen.  My worst fear came last spring when my soon-to-be sister in-law (who, by the way, knows how to roast a turkey) had a bridal […]
