I love my daily use dishes. They have cute hearts on them. They're very quaint. But I also have more formal, also very feminine china that has been in a box since I got it. Time to change that. I've always saved the china for entertaining or special occasions.But why should other people get the … Continue reading Using the Good China for My Family

Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
Art Room in Progress
My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.
The Last Days of Summer
The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer

We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week

Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me

New House, New Family Member
Yesterday we moved into our new house! But better yet last night we officially adopted a new friend. Her name is Molly. Right now she's hiding back by the garage door she came in through. I think she really misses her rescuer's home. But her rescuer had something like 11 dogs in her care. Molly … Continue reading New House, New Family Member
Looking Ahead
I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead
