My oldest daughter requested a play date with her friend so they could research Elephant Seals. Honesty, I didn’t know what she was talking about at first. I did a quick search to verify there is such a thing, and thought what did our parents do before Google? She was persistent about me arranging this […]

Snapshots from the Cruze Farm Corn Maze
We had the pleasure of attending a beautiful birthday party at Cruze Farm Corn Maze Sunday. Everyone in these local parts know about the wonderful, organic milk from the Cruze Dairy Farm. And thanks to an article last month in the New York Times about buttermilk that featured Colleen Cruze of the Cruze Dairy Farm […]

My Third Baby Turned Three!
My baby girl, who I call a toddler, who is barely really a toddler anymore — is now Three! She jumps on EVERYTHING, off of everything and even attempts to jump out of the bathtub! During our recent hike up Mt. Leconte she earned the nickname Little Jumper because when walking on the trials she […]

Sew a shower curtain into a window curtain
There is a prominent, low to the ground window in the girls’ bathroom and I wanted to have a curtain that was the same as the shower curtain. The bathroom is designed for 3,6 and 8 year-old girls. I wanted a fabric that was whimsical but not little girlish, and incorporated everyone’s favorite colors. For […]

Backyard movie night party for our girl who is 8!
Age 8 is sounding very big to me today. Maybe because it is. Maybe because she is my first baby and she will always be the first to do things in this family of girls. Maybe because I’m still getting used to the idea of having a child around here blaring her own music, hiding out […]

Why I don’t like keeping to-do lists
When I start getting stressed I make to-do lists. When I’m not stressed, I will most likely loose my lists. When there is a lot going on, I get out my notebook of lists. I’m mostly a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants gal. For example, when traveling through Europe with my husband in our younger pre-kid days, we hopped […]

Welcome fall!
Fall is most definitely in the air here in Tennessee. Leaves are falling, mornings are chilly and evenings are cool enough that no one wants to come inside until dark. I do like the lazy days of summer. But fall has always been my favorite time of year. The boots, the scarves, pulling the pants […]
