I absolutely love this time of year. The skies couldn’t be clearer, and the weather is still mild enough that you wanna just live outside. We’ve been so busy with Life and House, that it was super easy to just say, “Nope” to the busy stuff (that’s always gonna be there), and a big fat

Happy mid-week to you! I’ve been under the weather off and on (mostly on) for the past four weeks, so I’m thankful to finally be feeling better! I’ve been super blessed to have the health and time to catch up with dear friends, over the past few days, and am still enjoying the effects of encouragement
Edward Collins. That was the name of my grandfather, “Poppy.” He was born in Ireland, but migrated to America with his mother and two-year-old sister when he was five years old, after his father had abandoned them.

This is the outfit I wanna wear to go pick apples. I’m barely half kidding. There are no apple orchards around here (at least, that I know of??). I’ve heard they’re hard to grow here, but I reallllly want to try planting an orchard on our new farm, anyway. I’m a wild-child, like that. 😉 Wish
Welp, fall weather has begun here, right on cue. It’s a bit chilly, this week, and I absolutely love it!! One of my favorite things about fall is scouting fresh, inspiring pieces for the wardrobe. Today I’m partnering up with one of my very favorite brands – the ever lovely Lilla P. Their clothing is as
Well, yesterday was quite a Gift from the Lord. We’ve been somewhat marooned inside our home for days-on-end, because of the horrible smoke from the all the wildfires around here, lately. But yesterday, the air cleared for the entire day, and we enjoyed every minute of it, playing at a little nearby water park with some

Hiiiii! My apologies for my MIA status, as of late. Life has been wonderfully full, and I’ve had to shelve some things, like blogging n’ ‘gramming, to make time for it all. My mom came to stay with us for a month, and I can’t believe how fast it flew by! We took her to the
Gooood Friday morning!! It’s been a whirlwind of a week. My oldest turned ten, this past Sunday, and we surprised her with a horse and mini pony at her scavenger-hunt birthday party, last Friday! She was so shocked. And is probably the happiest child on the planet, right now.;) On her actual birthday, we headed to
