Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. This week, I thought it would be fun to share some of the vintage markets I’d love to visit if I ever find myself if their neck of the world! 🙂 @TheFarmTableOn62: I am […]
Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. This week, I thought I’d share five photos of places I found on Instagram that I’d love to visit! (Maybe some of you live near them and have visited them and I can […]
I published this post 4 years ago, this week. (My how time flies!) Thought it would be fun to flash back to it today. 🙂 1. I know you’re more worried about what’s going on at school right now than spending time with your family, but one day, you’ll enjoy being with your Mom so […]
“Now and forever, You are my great reward. I won’t demand to know the reasons for my suffering. These open hands will trust Your wisdom, beyond what I see. Help me to know You are God, I am not. Remind my soul You’re in control.” ―Tim Timmons I photographed some of my friend Ruthie’s paintings […]
“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.” ―Marcel Proust I got to spend the weekend in Tennessee visiting with four of my favorite mamas. Amanda, Jen, Nikki and Esty. They’re names feel like lyrics when I say them out loud. 🙂 They, too, are adopting children from (or have already adopted […]
We’re home from Texas and I’ve been so excited to share some photos from our trip with you! While Kevin was at soundcheck at The Mission Church on Thursday, I decided to walk around the square in downtown Mount Pleasant. I haven’t ventured off by myself in a while (my recent health issues re-triggered my anxiety/panic…or […]
Y’all, my mom introduced me to the Doc Martin series on Netflix while I was visiting her last weekend, and I am officially smitten with Port Wenn! It’s really called Port Isaac, and it’s located in Cornwall, England about 4 hours west of London. I couldn’t add it to my bucket list quick enough! It’s the inlet on the […]
per·fect adjective /’pərfikt/ 1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be. The drive from southern Minnesota to southern Wisconsin on Thursday certainly had all the desirable elements, qualities, and characteristics one would hope for during the month of October. A blue sky filled with puffy […]
So, remember those cute (Minnesotan) second-cousins I mentioned in my last post? Well, this is their Grandpa Kevin: He’s my uncle, and he owns a cabinet business called Mainstream Cabinets. It’s located in Mapleton, Minnesota and it was so fun seeing him and his showroom in person last month! I’m a sucker for cabinets, counters, […]
“Come with us, Kevin!“, called my second-cousins, Carter and Toby. I was ordered to stay put by the littlest one, but I was so curious about what they had up their (short) sleeves. It was the first time the boys had ever called Kevin away from the rest of the family like that, and the […]
We’re home sweet home!! We had tons of fun with friends and family, and we’re thankful to have made it home safe and sound. I posted lots of Instagrams as we made our way to Minnesota and back, but I’m hoping to get some of our DSLR pics uploaded so that I can blog about my favorite parts […]
Today is Kev’s last day at the studio here in Canton, and it’s snowing! #ILoveSnow The song is coming together beautifully, and we’re feeling very blessed to be here together. I’ve been sticking pretty close to the studio while he’s been recording (’cause I’m scaredy like that), but it’s all good because there are so […]
Kevin and I went to see Andrew Peterson’s ‘Behold The Lamb of God‘ concert last Tuesday- the same day we found out our adoption application had been approved. Have you seen it? It’s so good! I took my mom to it a couple of years ago while Kevin was out of town, and I’ve been determined to take […]
Kev and I are coming up on wedding anniversary #8 this June, and I’d love to take a breather and sneak off somewhere (inexpensive and close to home) with him for a couple of days. Back in ’04, we honeymooned a few hours down the road, on the Florida gulf coast. We stayed in a […]
So…writing that last post was a pretty emotional experience for me, and thanks to you, reading through the comments required a few Kleenex’s too! If you left me a comment, THANK YOU. I can’t even begin to tell you how full they made me feel! The photos in that post were all taken at Camp […]
