In this episode I am talking with artist and teach

In this episode I am talking with artist and teacher @christaforrestfineart. In this episode we discuss the fear of starting, when a childhood dream doesn’t happen, hiring a business coach, creating the life you want and the grace that comes from painting self portraits.

The kids are heading back to Nashville tomorrow bu

The kids are heading back to Nashville tomorrow but then they will be home again in a few short weeks for Christmas. We fell more in love with our town during the starlighting, Jack had a bunch of friends over and about 15 of us played the game murder for hours throughout our whole house, I hate turkey so we never make it for Thanksgiving and this year I made beef bourguignon ( best recipe to date), lots of board games were played, I have cooked/washed/cleaned/cooked again, we got all of our Christmas trees, the kids slept in, lots of coffee with everyone each morning, made snowman pancakes (since they have been little) and back rubs and head rubs (this is how I keep them coming home). I know that our holidays will look different as the kids get older and start their own families and I know that each stage we will still find sweetness. So, the big question…who else hates turkey? 😂😬

The Holiday Shop is full and ready to ship! Come

All three of our kids are waking up this morning u

All three of our kids are waking up this morning under our roof. Who would have known all those years ago that this would be what would be my first thought as my eyes open. Not the house, not what we are cooking, not the table…THEY ARE ALL HOME❤️ Do you remember how well you slept when you came home? We might not see them until noon😂

Happy Thanksgiving. So much love to you and your families! “And now let the wild rumpus start!”

On Saturday night we watched our 19th starlighting

On Saturday night we watched our 19th starlighting in our town of Castle Rock, CO. It was the 86th lighting and the tradition goes back to 1936 during the Great Depression. It started as a sign of hope during a dark time. It is lit the week before Thanksgiving and goes off in January. There have only been a few times it has been lit not during the holiday season. After WWII it illuminated “V” for victory, in 1998 and 2014 blue and orange when the Broncos played in the Super Bowl and it was lit as a symbol of hope and strength during the lockdown and pandemic.

As the town was being prayer over, we sang Silent Night (thousands of voices) and then counted down to the star being lit I was overwhelmed once again by the story that brought us here. What is something you love about where you live?

Jack is coming home today and Maddy will come home

Jack is coming home today and Maddy will come home a few days before Thanksgiving. As soon as I opened my eyes this morning my first thought was, “Jack’s coming home today!” He is so excited it is snowing and so am I. I have the stove top potpourri going and just want him to feel us and our home hug him tight. Houses can hug you know 😘
