Meet *Moppit. She’s the 5 day old {teeny weeny} baby bunny that spent her final 30 hours – or most of it – nestled in my less-than-ample cleavage. I enjoyed every minute we were able to care for this sweet little baby. We discovered Moppitt and her two siblings when Marley dug up their nest […]
Erma & Martha, the Exchange
{I heard these letters between Martha Stewart and Erma Bombeck read at the Ladies Day I spoke at in April…and loved them! I haven’t the foggiest notion who to credit, so if you know…drop me a line so I can give credit to this most brilliant lass} Hi Erma, This perfectly delightful note is being […]
I was Weeding the Vegetable Garden…
{and other lame excuses for why I’ve been such a delinquent blogger lately} I was busy growing sprouts… I was locking myself, my children and our pup out of our house while my husband slept soundly in our room. Good thing one of our screens doesn’t lock properly into it’s window and Bean was willing […]
Independence Was Declared
…from all semblance of self-control, whatsoever. I mean, just look at this cake! Who, in the presence of this scrumptious hunk of fruity, cream-cheesy goodness, would be able to maintain any sense of composure and dietary dignity? Not I, my friend, not I. Especially when it has your name written in blueberries on it. It’s […]
At The Well: Guest Post {The Ultimate Plan Review}
I’m a born list maker. A passionate, type-A list maker. The need for uncluttered organization in my life is evidenced by the sheer quantity of baskets and totes I own. They neatly hold my household together behind the scenes. Purging, cleaning and organization thrill me to no end. Maybe it’s the sense of peace it […]
{Proud as a Peacock} July Desktop Wallpaper
I’ve always loved fireworks {especially when my family flew over them on our way home to South Africa one year}, but the actual significance of July fourth never really hit home to me. Until now. You see, this will be my very first Independence Day as a US citizen. Thank you. Thank you very much. […]
Meet Marley {Mae}
Meet the newest addition to our family…Marley Mae! She was a precious gift from a precious family…and we’re smitten. Even one day into our adventure with her. She’s delightfully affectionate, ridiculously well behaved, and deliciously sweet! {swoon} Welcome, Marley Mae, we’re absolutely thrilled to have you! {who knew an admittedly non-dog-person could so […]
Empty Nest Syndrome {Sad Fern Interview}
Hello sad fern. Howdy. Tell me…why “sad” fern”? {awkward silence}…have you looked at me lately? Ri-ight. Sad. Very sad. Hey now, I was on clearance at SAMS, you know. Cut me some slack. You got it. So…I hear you’ve been busy over the past few weeks. Why yes, I have been. Just a few days […]
Spelling It Out
{now if only I could get them to smile – properly – at the camera at the same time!}
Blog Hopping {Hostess Gift Edition}
Miranda Walker {from Narrating Life} invited me to participate in her blog hop. It’s my first. So I hopped right in. And here we go! The theme is…drum roll, please…hostess gift ideas! Due to my love affair with fresh herbs, I chose a potted fennel plant as my gift {partly because it’s what my […]
