I’m a few days back from our Utah trip, and that’s a few days I’ve spent wishing I was still on the West Coast. I love the East Coast, and she definitely has better cities; but when it comes to the wild west and it’s landscape? It seriously wrecks me every time. The last two […]
Peach Cobb Salad
Even though the arrival of September typically marks the arrival of all things apples, if you live in the peach state, you can still snag you some great peaches! My favorite farms to get them from are Pearson farms (which unfortunately just ended their season) and Jaemor, who still has bushels of peaches. My will […]
Restore
Somewhere shortly after starting this blog, it became an adoption blog. Which wasn’t initially the intention, but it’s where life was, and will always be marked by. But no longer defined by. So one last adoption related post, and then we are back to the original intention. Encouragement, to be a resource (mainly of recipes), […]
Living in the In Between
People make funny comments to me all the time these days. Between four kids, usually by myself, and one of them looking a tiny bit different, we usually draw attention. I laugh most of them off. Few, if any leave me simmering on the comment for days. But recently, I had one. I was at […]
Panzanella
When summer time hits, and the last minute asks for dinner ideas are asked, one of the consistent requests is panzanella. Which I love. One, because it’s SO simple. Two, because it has vegetables and my kids are willingly asking for them. Mom win! I’m not going to give you a recipe, because things like […]
One Year Home
Our girl has been a part of our family for one year. A year ago, we entered a dingy office building in China and dotted a few more i’s and crossed a few more t’s. Before we were even able to prepare ourselves, our daughter was ushered into us. So scared and afraid and frail. There […]
Summer Probs
I live in Georgia. It gets HOT here. And humid. Which means that even on the best of days, if you are outside more than 3o minutes, every part of you has started to glisten. And everything you’re wearing gets damp…including your undergarments. Which is not a pleasant situation if you’re sporting you’re great winter […]
Sundays in the City
We live in the ‘burbs. It breaks my heart a little bit to be out aways from the city, but with 4 kids…it is what it is. Which is part of why whenever I can get away, I like the bright lights and fast action. We’ve had the opportunity to bum around lots of cities […]
Build A Longer Table House Part 2
Selling a home is no joke. With all the false alarms we had (see part 1), when it came time to actually list, we were mostly ready. What was worth touching up had been touched up, the last of the cabinets were painted, showers recaulked, everything staged and all the crap packed away in our […]
Build A Longer Table House Part 1
Now that it’s crunch time and we are trying to move a house, it seems like the perfect time to sit down and write, and update where we are. We love our house. We’ve lived here 8 1/2 years, which we’ve realized is both of ours longest uninterrupted time in one home. Chris picked it […]
