Just a few more months. We are entering those years. The years that moms are usually pretty scared of. I can tell you with absolute certainty, I have so much to learn. She is beautiful and kind, funny and smart. There is so much I love about her and so much I want to...
When my friend, Sara, invited me to join her on a fashionably late start to Project 365, I was so excited relieved that I was not the only one who was tardy to 2011. On January 1st, I was somewhere between Houston, Texas and Scottsdale, Arizona. I had no makeup on and...
Our Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays have been consumed with Flag Football. It is a short season (only 8 weeks). At first I was overwhelmed with the thought of this many practices... and now, I don't want it to end! Nate the Great loves to run. And run. And run. And he...
Our last evening in Carmine, (before the 23 hour ride back to Arizona), we all hopped in Uncle Ryan's truck and went looking for deer. The kids had never been, so they were on pins and needles hopin' to see a few deer. {I'm sorry about the blurry pictures! I was...
Even the pretty fall leaf... becomes an arrow in his imagination!
Letters in Waiting has made its debut in The Shop today. Thank you so much for your kindness and love. I love creating things for you ~ little packages of love that make their way into your homes. Thank you. Happy, happy Sunday! Kate
Last Saturday, Nate blew us all away with his mad touchdown skillz. I know the Papas will be proud!
The desert is bright and full of sunshiny goodness this morning. Nate the Great, Mr. B and Sweet Baby J are at flag football. I am sitting on the couch in complete denial that I may be sick... an awesome cough and sore throat have entered my...
The original. Still you... a little touch of makeup. The you that happens only when trust is your backdrop. You begin to strip back the layers and let them see who you really are. Weathered and worn, but letting sunshine in. Trying to see the world in a...
I know... I told you I would tell you all about my favorites. I am stuck on Gourmet Supreme. Stuck! I am very picky about coffee. I have always loved the smell in the morning, but I haven't always loved the taste. A few years ago, I really started to enjoy it, but I...
The Antique Capital of the world. My sister in law treated us to a day of wandering. Just looking at these pictures makes me want to go back! If you love antiques, you really should take a trip out there. Thank you for stopping by! I hope your week is going great!...
On New Years Eve, we (the ladies) decided to do some antique shopping in Round Top. We piled in the car and headed that way. As we were driving that way, Aunt Leslie turned and said ~ "oh, you have to see this place!" We turned into Festival Hill. Located in historic...
{Photo by Chris Gossen - Kate and Mallary Hope} For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to sing backup for someone. Anyone... Amy Grant has always been my dream. Have you heard the Dido song 'Look no Further'? If you haven't, go ahead.... I don't mind, I'll wait...
Quiet, dreamy walks. Hazy sunsets. Laughter. Kids running under foot. Trees. Big, tall trees. I promise myself, again, not to take this for granted.
Once upon a time... On a dark and stormy night... It was Uncle Daniel's first Christmas with us as a family. He seemed so shy... And then, after the traditional family picture in front of the fireplace, he and Theresa decided to take a picture similar to the one...
Just to get your ready for tomorrow... 🙂
Now, you all know how I love challenges. I like to win. I can't help it. It is just who I am. (Mad Skee Ball Skillz, remember?) Any-who, Collective Bias issued me a challenge to feed my Game Time guests for $5.00 per person or less. I headed out to my local Walmart...
