If there is anyone out there, who was looking forward to a peek around our home this past Christmas, I apologize.  You know it’s something I most always share, but somehow I just didn’t this year.  Our home had plenty of Christmas decor (as if I could stop myself), and you can be sure I… (READ MORE......) | 1 Comment

A Peek at Fall Decor Around Our Homestead

Posted by Laura on Friday Oct 30, 2009 Under Home Decor, The Homestead

I say it all of the time;  I’m no Martha Stewart, but I sure enjoy seasonal home decor!  It’s one of the many things that put the ‘happy’ in our home for me.  I love doing the decorating, and I love seeing it, but I don’t like much taking it down and putting it away.  (Do chefs love to clean up?  lol).  I didn’t get to as much… (READ MORE......) | 6 Comments

Here we are on the 6th day of Christmas, and we’re still celebrating on low gear. I must admit, a little bit of the Christmas blues have hit.  Not to take away one bit of the joy in celebrating the birth of Jesus, and all that that means for us.  If nothing else, that’s what helps… (READ MORE......) | 2 Comments
