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…

We Bought a Ranch!
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…

The Ball is Rolling!
So here we are! We have completed our move and are about a day away from being settled in our new place. Talk about being displaced. We went up to the Carson Valley last week and stayed in a hotel. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I had absolutely no idea…

Sangria!
This week we are having a get together at the house because next week, we start moving out. We thought it would be fun to have some people over to celebrate. This house has always been the best house ever to entertain in. It has an open floor plan and a huge kitchen that everyone…

Pre-Spring Break at Disneyland!
We are on spring break this week. However, being a homeschool family we had the opportunity to go to Disneyland the week before our local schools went out on their breaks. It was so wonderful and not crowded at all. We could walk easily through the park and went on our favorite rides a couple…

Piggy Update and “Photo Shoot”
For those of you who are wondering about our little Guinea pigs, here is an update. Last time I wrote about the piggies Shelby was being treated for ringworm and an upper respiratory infection. It turned out Megan Johnson, Shelby’s new sister, also got the ring worm. PS, ringworm is not a worm that get’s…

Spring Has Really Sprung!
So many places in the United States are still under snow or at least feeling the last little bit of winter. Not here in Southern California! We are in the middle of a really weird heart wave. (Earthquake anyone?) Last weekend I was really excited to get my spring flowers planted, and when I went to…

Sweet Valentine!
As I’ve said before, I LOVE Valentine’s Day! I love the color and sparkle, and hearts! I’ve never really had any Valentine’s decorations though. Last year, Emma and I decided to make some decorations that we could just throw around the house. We went through all my old scrapbooking papers and pulled many, pinks, reds…
