Holy Cow. October flew by in a hurry, didn't it? My pause did not last nearly as long as I'd hoped, but I'm thankful there was a bit of one in there. Here we are in November and the slide into the holidays is on its way! I think I'm actually ready to get some Christmas crafting going soon... is that scary or what? ;-) Unfortunately when I look at our calendar for the month, I'm not seeing much time to spare! Guess I'll have to get clever, … [Read more...]

Is it already Monday? The weekend just flew by, but we got some amazing family time celebrating my mother-in-law's 80th birthday... how cute is she? I hope I look half that good at 80! It was a fun weekend, and my boy even achieved a hat trick in his soccer game -- winning weekend for the Miltons! Today I'm sharing my fall decor in the family room. After painting several pumpkins and adding them to some I spraypainted a couple of … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday... the first of fall! I have to confess, I was uber-ready to welcome fall this year by getting my decorating on. Much as I loved my summer mantel with its killer burlap flag bunting, I am ready to think crisp mornings, breezy leaf-drifting days, and pumpkins! And, oo la la, I love it so! The leaves haven't begun changing yet here, but I'm loving the Japanese Maple clippings in my demijohns. It will be fun to refresh … [Read more...]
It’s the Little Things (and NYC Recap)
July 20, 2013 by · 3 Comments
The weekend already? Jeez, time flies in the summertime... Thursday I journeyed down IKEA with my daughter to do some apartment shopping for her. That place never ceases to amaze me, and I shopped IKEA in Northern Virginia back in 1989 for MY first apartment! It was pretty cool then and it's even more so now... so of course I picked up a few little things for me, too. :) Like this $4 pillow cover for an insert I already … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, everyone! I can't believe we're already wrapping up June... *sigh*... why do the summer weeks seem to fly by the fastest? I'm looking forward to fun weekend IN TOWN, if you can believe it!

Happy Hump Day, y'all, and Happy 15th birthday to my baby! Doesn't he have the greatest smile?? That man-child is such a source of joy... he's growing up too fast!

Howdy hoo, y'all -- another busy week rocking and rolling around here! So far this week we've celebrated two birthdays in my preschool class, Earth Day plus caterpillars (!), and then yesterday a puppet show. I'm whipped by 2pm every day! I'm still working away on the guest room, but I took a few minutes to freshen up my spring mantel since Easter is now behind us... It all started with a quick trip to "Junk Day" at the Woodstock … [Read more...]

I'm still recovering a bit from such an awesome weekend of family, friends, and celebration! I have to share this amazing photo from my youngest son's confirmation on Sunday... What a wonderful day and just look at those smiling faces (Jack is back row, 3rd from the left)! During the liturgy, the sun broke through the clouds (after WEEKS of gray and rainy) and came pouring through the clerestory windows of the sanctuary. I get teary … [Read more...]
