Yesterday after work, I drove by The Simple Farm. It was a beautiful afternoon and I just wandered around and looked at the beautiful soaps, food and jellies! Have a wonderful Friday, friends! Kate

My brain races back and forth between thoughts filled with cartwheels, back hand springs and shouting to the world what a beautiful day it is and a stressed out, worrying, grudge-holder with never ending to do lists. If plans change around me, watch out. Batten down...

Lately, I have been sitting down to blog and I find myself losing my free-time by just looking through Christmas pictures. I suppose there is just a time for everything. There is a time for blogging new posts, there is a time for a brilliant DIY, there is a time for...

Murphy wanted to tell you Happy 2012! Hugs to you! Kate

Over the holiday, we played a lot of cards. Grandmas favorite is Crazy 8s. It reminded me of countless evenings in Corpus Christi, Texas, playing at her kitchen table in the house on Southern. In her kitchen, she had a round table that was built into a bay window....

This was a good one. You know? Just a really, really good Christmas. We were in Houston, going back and forth, and it was just really, really good. (Oh. I said that already? Sorry.) I don't think I cooked one meal. How is that even possible? Between my brother, my...

  Somestimes, Walls around my heart have make a barricade, impassable to even my dearest family. I pray that 2012 will remind me to lean on my sweet Jesus's strength and sovereignty. I pray that 2012 will teach me that it is not my goodness or my trying that...

Last week, we took a drive up to College Station, Texas ~ where our love story began. We were engaged right here under the Century Tree, we danced at Denim and Diamonds, we had our rehearsal dinner at Tom's BBQ, we were married at St. Thomas Aquinas, we had our...

I think i am learning a little bit about traditions. The first thing the kids asked when we landed was "are we going to see Aunt Margaret and make cookies?" When I told mom what they had asked, I learned it was already in the works! Something that I didn't necessarily...

We are in Houston going back and forth between moms and my sister-in-laws. I am in heaven and my heart is bursting with sentimental gooey happiness! Merry Christmas my friends. Take a minute to bow your head and thank our Jesus for all that He has done for us. Hugs!...

About this time last year, it caught me off guard. I thought about the  miscarriage on Christmas eve and losing the twins. This year, I figured enough time had passed. But as the gifts I ordered for friends arrived, I sat on the floor of my closet, clutching the...

This Christmas is going to rock it. I saw a pin on pinterest that instructed us to make Christmas presents like when we were kids. Did I take instructions from pinterest? Yes. Yes I did. Julia and I stayed up late making bracelets. She took so much time picking out...

One of my favorite things about Julia is that she has complete confidence her in style. She knows what colors she likes and how she likes things to look. She cut out about 100 clouds and used painters tape to stick them to her walls, just because. She loves all...

Heather, over at Life Made Lovely, has the sweetest collection of holiday card designs. For one of my cards this year, I chose to send the pictures that the ever incredible BLUE LILY took and the Life Made Lovely & Ashley Ann Collaboration. I'm in LOVE!...
