A warm November day

The last 2 weeks have been brutal with the kids being sick and lovingly passing it on to me (lol) so when we had this warm November day - I thought - perfect time to go out and blow the stink off of us! My friend Betsy told me about this amazing place - Spring Hills Farm - 6 miles from our house (I KNOW!) and I packed the kids in the car and off we went.

Hannah, Harrison & I went to the Spring Hills Farm to pick up a wreath, maple syrup and pick out our Christmas Tree (waiting until Wednesday so Daddy can come too! :) ) and while we were there they let us roam the property, look at the sheep, chickens & roosters and very cool old cemetery across the street (the resting place of the 2 original owning families dating back as far as the revolutionary war! We had a blast and can't wait til Wednesday to go back!

Fall, Family & Fiber

My family is my heart - my kids are my breathe - my home is our sanctuary. Every day I spend with them I realize how blessed we are to have eachother. Lately we have been playing around a lot, the kids are in love with ice pops and I am back to knitting for love. Here is our mini tale.

 

That is all for tonight - love and light......

A snowy day

What a great snow day! Hannah & I had major morning cuddles while watching Team Umizumi & the snow fall. At noon dad came home and they went outside to play in the "then" 6" of snow. While they played, I did some work for my "passion biz". Then they left to visit Aunt Ellen & Sam. While they were gone I got to stamp fabric for organic eye pillows & dryer pillows for said passion and then relaxed & knit while watching Project Runway. Can't get better. Just can't. Oh wait... the snow is still falling & my family is all home.... So I guess it just did.

Happy Valentines Day!

Since being put on bed rest a week ago, I have been less than enthralled with life. Its been a challenge to look at things and find inspiration when I cant leave the house. Yes, a house under duress with the new baby's room still under construction! So who better to inspire than my little lady who gives me the most happiness + a belly pic of our lil man who is still cooking (thank you!)

I ordered some fabulous fabric that arrived! The tease is I can't do anything yet. Argh. I need to get rid of this pain so sewing can be done... my itchy fingers are desperate!

Monday Monday....

Sometimes all it takes to make a day great is some sunlight - despite the freezing cold, a fun phone call from a kindred spirit & a hysterical display of maternal love. AKA, my daughter after she changed "her baby's" diaper complete with wipes, Desitin and a kiss on baby's nose.

To complete the night she asked for a kiss (between the slats on her crib after night night) and then a hug, then a kiss, a high five, a kiss and finally: "Mom let's talk". Just LOVE.
