Reflecting on Christmas Past.While I bustle around with last minute preparations for the holiday today I am remembering Christmas Past. I am so thankful, for all of the beautiful Christmas memories I have in my heart. From the wonder filled white Christmas mornings from my own Childhood to watching my children's twinkling eyes as the big day approaches. First Christmases spent in new homes....

We usually do a fun and cute Halloween, every now and then we make it a little scary (for my older children) but for the most part we keep it fun. We put out the jack-o-lanterns..... Throw around a few pumpkins.... Add a few bales of hay and a cornstalk or two...... Make the entry festive..... with a wreath hung upon the front door....... Colorful mums fresh from the farm

Happy Father's Day! To all the Great Dads out there! We are celebrating Father's Day this year with a full heart.  After months of chemotherapy and prolonged hospital stays we have my Dad home once again.  This last bout was a hard and long road for my father, taxing, scary and hard.  But he fought it.  We fought it.  With many, many, prayers.  All answered.  Because now, as of last week, we

Happy Valentine's Day! This one snuck up on me for sure.  I've been a very busy girl lately and have been so caught up in things that I realized a few days ago that Valentine's Day would be here and I just wasn't prepared! Even though this holiday is for Sweethearts, I like to spread a little love to others as well.  I needed to keep it simple so I came up with a few easy and inexpensive things

Alrighty gals.  I said I would revisit this topic.... I don't do resolutions.  Not usually. Every time I try to, I fail at them.  Defiantly.  I don't like it hanging over my head.   Recently I started feeling guilty about not being resolute to loose weight or get fit.  Especially when I go into the store or pick up a magazine or turn on the tv, even standing online at the post office

I want to thank all of you Sweet Friends. For understanding and being thoughtful, encouraging, and nurturing.  There is something reassuring about going through a tough time and knowing there's friends out there to share in your worry and offer up prayers, even if you haven't met them face to face.  If there's a way to feel a little better you have made me feel that, my family is awfully grateful

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart!  I like to joke around with him and call him old man since he's got a few years on me.  It's a running joke between us, we are quite young afterall, but next year he will hit a milestone birthday and we will be preparing him all of this year to keep him on  his toes of course! When my children get older I get melancholy, but when my husband gets older I get

On any given Summer EveningYou can find us here... The heart of our town set deeply in it's Maritime history.We stroll the old fashioned boardwalk and it feels as though we've simply stepped back in time. We live in a coastal shore town where clamming, crabbing, fishing, and hunting is a long part of its history.Generations of families have survived and thrived here with those occupations. A

I take the back roads whenever possible.  I try to avoid the busiest roads, even if it takes longer to get there.  I will find my way around it. Oh no...we don't own a GPS...I don't want one, I actually like the adventure of getting lost on the backroads.Tis true.... I open the windows and let the breeze blow my hair in every direction.  Down the road we go, singing all the way as loud as we can

 I hope you had a great Fourth of July!  Celebrate the birth of our nation and rejoice in the liberties and freedom we have here in America.   I can't think of a better reason for a summer barbeque each year than that.    Each year our small town hosts a patriotic parade and firework display over the lake at dusk.  We host a family barbeque and swim before heading out the door with picnic blanket

Springtime is here and along with it comes the task ofspring cleaning and sprucin' up the Farmhouse.  There are windows to clean, linens to wash, and rooms to freshen up. This Farmhouse will be as fresh as a when this good old Fashioned spring cleaning is through. Now I have to make claim that I am in no way a cleaning fanatic. I like it clean, I don't always like to do it though, lol! I

Oh where in the world does the time go? I've probably already said that in several other posts, right?  Milestones come up so much quicker than we ever think they will, days flow gently into one another and sooner or later our children begin to grow up.  My oldest child has hit one of those important milestones this year, once twirling around as only little girl's can, full of boundless energy

It's been one of those months. not one of those days or afternoons, but one of those months. A month where you loose focus and murphy's law has taken over..

My sweet girl, I want you to remember on your special day, you are so loved. While I hate how quickly the years go by, I am pleased to see what a beautiful young lady you are growing into with each passing year.   Starting at the begining... We waited several years for your arrival into our family. You have been a blessing since the day you were born.    Always surrounded by love.....

Get up, get up, get out of bed..... wake up now you sleepy heads! Rise n' Shine, it's time for breakfast! I love breakfast food.  It is ironic that I say this since I don't eat it as frequently as I should, at least not during the weekdays.  I fill myself with my two cups of coffee each morning and am usually fine with that until lunch.  Unhealthy?  I know, I know.  I don't know what it is

There will be years for cleaning and cooking...... for children grow up when you're not looking. I have been working on finishing up my son's big boy room.  It seems like only yesterday that we were making a nursery for him.  He is three now and the crib is gone and a big boy bed stands in it's place.  Washing dishes the other day, my mind began to wander, as minds often do when dishes

I hope that you all had a beautiful Christmas!  We sure did, but phewwwwy! Boy, I am plum tuckered out! I tried to get one more post in before the big day but life got the better of me and the clock ticked on much too quickly.  The holiday ultimately came and I decided to celebrate with a relaxed state of mind so that I could absorb all that it had to offer with very little stress......I

 One last ode to the harvest season before one more holiday of the year is quietly ushered onward.  Another metamorphisis has occurred here at our farmhouse, the jack-o-lanterns have been put to rest in the barn for another year, and the pilgrims have been put out upon the shelves.   Psst...you can now click on my photos to enlarge them if you like...

A season of GRATITUDE...What a wonderful reason to celebrate a holiday! Our seasonal celebration of gratitude...thanksgiving. A time for reflecting upon all that is good in our lives and perhaps even a time to make things brighter for one another. All too often I find myself in a worrisome panic over what I haven't accomplished, completed or need to find the time to do. Lately, I have decided to

It is long but worth the time to read it...... ___________________________________________________ 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care

So, what do you do when you want to show your love and appreciation to great Dad's at our farmhouse on Father's Day? You don't take these guys out to a fancy restaraunt, nope, that just isn't their style. You can't make them dress in their Sunday best, and you don't even tell them that they have to use the fancy china... Not in this family, not these guys, they get to do something they like on
