Once the house is clear of Christmas and spring in Colorado is still months away…there is this in-between of seasons. This is the time when I like to organize, still honor winter with textures and layers throughout the home, candles, pine branches from our land and each late January I splurge on Magnolia branches! They really do feel like a splurge but they are this sweet reminder that spring is coming (in about four months in Colorado) and …
Finding Fall Home Tour 2016
This is our first fall on our new land and in our home and we are loving all of the surprises. Want to know the surprise we are loving the most right now? We have a huge apple tree! We had no idea because we bought our land and home in the middle of winter. I have always wanted an apple tree and this home has THREE! We have already made apple crisp and we are making another one today. …

Farm To Table {Sneak Peek}
I am sure you all know someone that you admire how they can make so many things look easy. Maybe even effortless. I believe that when we see someone in their element that is when we see an effortlessness. It doesn’t mean they haven’t practiced or worked hard. They have most likely taken their natural interests, read, practiced and grown their innate interests and gifts. When I was putting together the other hosts for Creatively Made Home (CMH) I wanted …

Ya-Ya Sisterhood {or something like that}
I remember reading the book, “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”. I think every book club was reading it in 2004. Who doesn’t remember all the moms on the beach drinking martinis, smoking cigarettes and lathering up themselves and kids in baby oil! Just thinking about it makes me laugh because their kids were off swimming in a lake while they got tanked. The pool looks a LITTLE DIFFERENT these days. Hey, being a mom is tough. Maybe a little …
