I wrote this post last summer, but, at the time, couldn’t decide whether or not to post it. I just found it, and thought you might enjoy a peak into my life as a mom. This is what my daughter’s room looked like for a brief moment in time. This summer she was gone for […]

Living Large in a Small Space
The ranch may be large, but our house here is small. That means I try to get the most out of every little nook and cranny. You might notice baskets under my Swedish bench. (Note to readers: This post was written before the one about my new chalk board that now sits on this wall. […]
