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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Olympics are Here!
I get a little excited about the Olympics…it combines so many of my favorite things; cultures, community, and competition! This year we are celebrating even bigger than the last time. Mainly, because my kids are two years older and get it even more than before. And two years can make a big difference in comprehension […]
Going Against the Grain
The boys were headed off to watch a baseball game tonight, so I threw together a girls night in for the girls and I. Popcorn, pj’s and The Little Mermaid. Which would have been amazing if it were just my oldest daughter. But Naomi doesn’t watch anything yet. She spilled so much popcorn the dog […]
One Week Home
Things I am thankful for after one week home: friends friends that set up meal trains for us friends that sign up and bring dinner for us friends that bring breakfast and lunch for us friends that bring wine friends that bring wine and cheese friends that take my older kids friends that give us gift […]
Appointments and Real Life
Straight up? It’s been a really hard 48 hours. We started the week weary, both of us still sick, but needing to hit the ground running. Chris had an insane amount of work to catch up on, and I had 4 kids. Plus a ton of laundry, suitcase clutter EVERYWHERE, and all the emails and […]
