Our trip to DC, part 1. I love Old Alexandria, King Street to be exact. I feel in love with it several years ago when I would visit DC on a more regular basis. Fabulous shops, independent boutiques. old brick sidewalks, bistros, and tapas bars. So fun. The twins & I went for the day,…

We’re Back…
Our trip was great. It was the perfect time to get out of town! The kids did unbelievably well. Chief & I walked 20+ miles a day. (not really, my feet just feel like we did.) We got a super deal last minute, and I do mean last minute on Travelocity. Flight + room. Just…
It’s the Great Pumpkin Makeover!
I love white pumpkins. I have had this idea in my head for years! So simple, but I just wanted to spell out “Halloween” in pumpkins going down my stairs. But…white “faux” pumpkins are pricey! Especially the nice sized, realistic looking ones. Even on sale. (Who would usually need to buy 9 of them???) So…
Fall = Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Photo from my friend Sibi who found it here Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins & milk, a perfect combination. It’s a tradition. I make these without fail the first day of Fall, every year. This year, we will be on a trip, so I decided to post my all time favorite recipe, early. The smell alone…
Charlottes & Templetons
If you look close you can see these are the new homes for our Charlottes – that Graham & I made last week. We made two Halloween topiaries for our glittery friends. Including butterflies, ladybugs, a glittery nest, and some webbing. My photos didn’t turn out great, but I think you get the idea. Graham…
Fall = Sweaters
I can’t believe I have already found my new fave for FALL! It was love at first sight. Things don’t usually happen like this for me. But it did! A cashmere/cotton blend shawl collar sweater. For those of you who may not know, during the Fall & Winter some of my friends choose to call…
playing together
Hands down, this is Graham’s favorite place to go right now. He thinks this slide is the best thing ever. Luckily for us, we’ve been invited to 3 birthday parties here, in the past month. Hope the invitations keep coming, for Graham’s sake! Did you notice Mason’s nose & face? Poor little guy, that’s when…
BUSY with simple things.
Chief, my husband has been mowing & bailing hay all week along with working his regular job. So it has been me & the kids basically all week & then some. Yes, I’ve had time to turn on the computer, but to form a sentence or paragraph, well, that’s a different story. Just keeping things…
Firsts…
What a week. We are still not near the end, either. Chief has been cutting hay & working all week. I don’t understand the entire process of the whole hay thing…but let’s just say, it is a full time job by itself when it comes time for cutting & bailing. So needless to say, life…
