We have lived in our present home for four years, I would estimate. And I have purchased, traded or otherwise maneuvered into this small kitchen dining area about six different dining sets. We have a pantry that I also keep moving, depending on which dining set is in use at the time. There are aboutContinue reading “Make Over!”

Pretty Fabulous!
A few weeks ago I ordered something awesome from Lotta’s Etsy shop. I love reading her blog, check her out if you haven’t already.. Mom-o-Matic.blogspot.com. I check in anytime I am on the web and have never left her site without laughing out loud, and sometimes spending some dough. I ordered two of these darlingContinue reading “Pretty Fabulous!”

I gave it to her for Christmas a few years ago. This stash of children’s books has been on Mom’sContinue reading “Things of Comfort”
