In the Meantime
As we sit here waiting patiently for the close of escrow on the ranch we are learning to stay in the moment. Our new little home is feeing like the perfect place to do that. We are feeling settled and at home. We have wonderful landlords, and our next door neighbors are fabulous. They’re so sweet…

I just noticed that someone read my Inspiration post from yesterday and the one from 10/18/14. It brought me to read the post again, and to my surprise, it was about the ranch we were in escrow with last year. In the post, I was talking about how afraid I was at posting anything about it…

My favorite niece is turning 7 today! She is a fabulous girl with more personality than you could carry in two hands! She’s funny, smart, and very loving! My sister-in-law sent out a copy of Nora’s Birthday list. This is a must every year, because she writes it herself and it’s the best thing ever!…

Throwback Thursday- Missing Teenagers
Today’s #TBT is a picture of my two oldest daughters from when they were teenagers. We were driving to Vegas to visit our family and in satisfying one of my dreams, we took a long time getting there. I wanted to stop at all those broken down places and take pictures just for fun. It…
