Focus on Life – Week 5 {capture our hearts}

Here we are, Week 5 of Sally Russick’s Focus on Life photo challenge. This week’s prompt is “Capture our hearts”. I am a big fan of heart motifs, sentimental as I am. I thought I’d easily find a heart to capture – maybe in a pattern or the kid’s artwork. Instead, I ended up making […]

Holiday Greetings, friends!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! The year is winding down so fast. Where did it go? We’ve been swept up in holiday traditions here in our house. With 4 boys home from school for the break, I won’t pretend its a bed full of roses. There have been many peaceful moments though, and I know […]

New England {my heart belongs to you}

Hello there! It’s been a bit of a break for me, but we were away on a great big road trip! Fair warning: this is a long blog post! You may already know that I have a serious case of Wanderlust. I have a hard time sitting still, and I doubt I ever will […]

Come along with me…

Would you like to take a little day trip without having to leave your home? I’d love to take you to one of my favorite bakeries and then on a visit to a National Historic Landmark home. On Mother’s Day, we spent the day in Leesburg (yes, yet again), and visited these places and […]
