 I was voted class dreamer in HS.

(Seems fitting:))

My first car (I bought myself) was a white  VW Cabriolet, remember those?

It was such a lemon, but it was fun while it lasted:).

I loved being pregnant…..

I met my husband in Las Vegas….

This has been a long running joke but he was actually a friend of a friend.

I am way more  country than city. pm

I like simple.

I like the smell of old….does that make me strange?

We lived in Colorado for 6 years & loved every minute.

We had a beautiful brand new home in an amazing neighborhood.

This dear friend lived around the corner form me.

A perfect day…..

would be at the beach with my boys & husband either at dusk or off season

or… a picnic in the country at a vineyard.

I like sweets…a lot:)

My bedroom is always the last room to be cleaned.

We have moved 7 times in the last 1o years,

phew that makes me tired just thinking about it but…it was an adventure.

And still is:).

That’s what LIFE  it is supposed to be, right?

Thanks for letting me ramble:).

Have a blessed day!

It Wasn’t Just A House

We talk a lot about home on this blog so I thought it was important to share this part of my life with you. We put our childhood home on the market in the beginning of April, and it has been a gut-wrenching process. As someone who truly loves home and then add in 46 incredible years of memories in one place, it has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I know it seems silly but it has felt like I am saying good bye to my childhood; to my mother, my father, my sister, the memories and our home at all once.

  2. Hi Jen, just stopping in to say and congrats on the new ( AND old) blog…. You are very inspiring to me, I am totally new to this whole DIY blogging thing, and when I discovered it I felt like I had an OMG moment…

    ” You mean there are others like me out there? You mean its not weird to have dolled up your bedroom, and fluffed the bed just so- and then take pictures of it????”

    Thanks for sharing your list of fav’s….Some of my favorite things are: Baskets, Pillows, Throws, Candles and wood Cutting boards. A slight addiction maybe… Is there a 12 Step Program for that?

    I feel like I am at home- In your home. Maybe someday when I figure out the blog aspect I’ll actually be able to post and share my photos and Ideas too, until then glad to watch yours evolve!

    Yay!

  6. The new look is wonderful! I bet it feels so good to get a little blog make-over, I need to do this too:) And I enjoyed getting to know you better. I also have two boys so I loved the shot of your guys together on the beach, and also the photo of your Dad. He has such a sweet face.
