The Dust Bowl and Ellis Island

24 years at least of a basketball hoop in my livin

24 years at least of a basketball hoop in my living room and I wouldn't change it for anything. 27 years of being home with my kiddos and I wouldn't change it for the world. An incredible blessing. I miss having little ones at home during the day but I find my days are full somehow also.

I have loved every home I've lived in, and have such fun making it cozy and organized. I told a friend when I am gone all day I actually get home sick for my house! It's so so far from perfect. Let me tell you - right now I have a shutter down that way accidentally kicked with a soccer ball, a patch on my den ceiling from a leak when it rains hard that no one has ever determined the source of, so many trim and wall paint touch ups to do from just living, and I can go on and on.
🏡
Even with all the hardships I've experienced I feel incredibly blessed to have what I have and to live where I live. God has been so good to me.

Thank you so much for all your kind words and enco

Thank you so much for all your kind words and encouragement.

Right now I'm force feeding Abbey to fatten her up before chemo starts, doctors orders. I'm also trying not to drive her insane because I literally want to be right next to her 24/7, staring in her face,
talking to her and making sure she is okay. I told her it's a natural maternal instinct and I can't help it and one day she will know what that feels like.

I wrote a blog post which is unusual activity but a little life update in midst of a passing storm.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful inside and out olde

Happy Birthday to my beautiful inside and out oldest daughter. She is a funny, strong, smart, kind, and loving woman but she will always be a little girl to me. Who hoarded the strangest things in her desk drawers, drew pictures every chance she wasn't playing with her stuffed animals, helped me a ton in every way, was capable and independent and smart at a young age, and always one of those "wise souls" from the minute she arrived on earth. I adore her and I'm beyond grateful that I get to call her my daughter. ❤️

One of my favorite pieces I've ever painted. It was so much work to get it exactly how I envisioned but I just love when the vision becomes reality. This is offered at $899 + tax in Vintage Groves if you are local (NW Ohio.) It is very long and the two middle doors open to three drawers. (So nine in all.) Hydrangeas are as you already know from my garden and I'm just as proud of those also. :) (Another dream becomes reality story there.) 🍃

Happy 9th Birthday to my sixth baby Janey. (Yester

Happy 9th Birthday to my sixth baby Janey. (Yesterday but just posting this because of crazy day.) ☀️
Janey is the sweetest, funniest, kindest little girl I know. She spent her birthday feeling quite under the weather so we are doing cake and candles on Wednesday. She opened her simple gifts and came to me later and said Mom thank you so so much I love everything. ❤️
Janey is truly a gift to me and her siblings and lights up all of ours lives. Even with all the hard things in her little life her tender heart finds the joy. We love her so much. 🎂

Andrew my fourth is 18 today. One more year at ho

Andrew my fourth is 18 today. One more year at home until college! 😢 I keep typing and erasing here because there is so much I can't even find words for- strong, loving, honest, hard working, he is a wise soul, and even though he has been through a lot of hard things in the past five years, he rises strong again and again and truly appreciates all the good things in life. I'm so proud of him. Happy Birthday Andrew! (And clean your room please?) 😂

Two pieces of good news- 1. Mums are out and altho

Two pieces of good news-
1. Mums are out and although usually try to hold off as long as possible I had to buy these bright yellow ones and throw a little spot of yellow on the sofa. Yellow is a good transition color to fall I think- sunshine, sunflowers, early leaves changing.
🍁
2. I dropped my phone in a lake on vacation in TN. My wonderful sons dove repeatedly and found it and it worked! Except for the foggy camera. But today I woke up and lo and behold the condensation is gone! Just in time to celebrate two birthdays. Andrew will be 18 and Janey 9. I can hardly believe it. They will always be toddlers to me. And I'd turn them all back to that age if I could. Just to relive their cuteness one more time and enjoy it all over again. There is nothing I would rather do then be a mom every day at home with little ones. It's my best most fulfilling job ever. ☀️
