I completed my very first afghan. This pattern is called the Sunburst Granny Square. Thanks to my sister once again for rubbing off on me. She created a beautiful one and encouraged me to go for it! I started it back when we were "living in the hotel" ah... so its been a few months but... it was really fun to pull out and work on then shove it away for a few weeks.<br />

It is heavy and cozy. Perfect for this fall weather.</div>
<br />
Just getting the boys ready to head back to school. We had the most fun filled memorable summer ever! (no time for blogging apparently) We packed it all in. I loved all the new memories that we made. These cutie boys I have are at the most perfect age to go out and about and explore, try new places and go with the flow. We did a ton of swimming and playing outside, three trips- two out of state, and lots of around the town fun. It was a perfect summer.<br />

So everyday I try to teach them things, whether they think I'm mean, bossy or don't like it, someday they will Thank me. Thank me for showing them they need to work to accomplish something, Help to feel good, respect themselves by owning, loving, enjoying and respecting their things and others. That kindness goes all the way. Being helpful to others will go full circle and to play, smile laugh and have fun.<br />

I still dream daily of the farm life I wish I had. I dream of the joy and simplicity we could have with our boys on the farm. How life could be different for us then the typical run here, run there life the suburb holds. I am comfortable here, don't get me wrong. I just feel part of me belongs there..on a farm. Which brings me to the project I am about to share with you.<br />

My sister gifted me this book 4 months ago. A project we would do together. It is a book of letters from farm wives dating back to the 1920s. Their stories inspired 111 quilt blocks. After blocks and blocks are sewn you put it together creating yourself "The Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt"<br />

The funny thing, I had both the box spring and mattress on and it was so thick! It went up to the foot board, covering how beautiful the bed was. So only a mattress for this type of bed. They made things a bit thinner back in the day I guess.</div>

I am giddy on how it turned out. I love it. The big boy does too. He was also very smiley when he saw his Smokey the Bear decor all put up on his shelf. We have added a few new things he hadn't seen up yet. I love how this boy likes this "style" and lets me decorate with no fuss. Big Smokey fan. So sweet.</div>

7 weeks ago I woke up to a normal morning. Until I went to open the cupboard. There it was before my eyes our ceiling dripping with water. I turn and look around and see water filled in the light fixture, water dripping in the entry and so on... since that day. We had to completely move our house into a POD, we lived in a hotel for 3 weeks. Our whole house had been damaged from ice damns.<br />

They took our cupboards down, took ceilings down..pulled out wet insulation. Then we found out we had asbestos ceilings on top of it. So that had to be taken care of as well. Anyway long story short.. 7 weeks later we are back in. Guess what?? the house goes on the market next month. Not how I had hoped to spend my last few months in our sweet home but I am glad the problem is fixed for the new owners. Ugh. It still exhausts me but the kids had a blast swimming every day at the pool. I started a sunburst granny square afghan (pictures soon) lucas lost his two front teeth, a pancake maker for breakfast every morning and I didnt have to cook or clean!</div>

I really have missed my blog and you all. I hope to get back on schedule!!<br />
I will be living through all of your wonderful Easter posts. No decorating here this year which feels super weird, its just to much to unpack and pack back up at this point in the game for me.<br />
<br />
Happy Spring!<br />

Today, the first day of summer my sweet, strong and loving Grandma turns 89. I feel unbelievably blessed to be so close to her. All my life she has shared more than a huge chunk of my heart. I couldn't love her any more..its not possible! Today as she turns 89, she cant sit still so, she is still cooking and serving meals to her local senior center, helping anyone in need, driving, baking, experimenting with any old home remedy, worrying about everyone and never letting you leave her house with out a treat. She is amazing!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday Grandma. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are strong, bold, beautiful and loving.</div>

Erica from <a href="http://goldeneggvintage.blogspot.com/">golden egg vintage</a> and I connected. Her support and her blog opened my world to so many blogs that "fit me" blogs that I enjoy so much. I feel like I have made many new wonderful friends the past few months. I love reading all about their collections, creations, finds, about them, family stories and everything that goes along with the personal touches of a blog. Thank you for letting me into your world and thank you for supporting my blog! I cherish it dearly.<br />

She loves tea.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a new mom will do about anything to get some sleep after baby comes..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a cup of chamomile tea every night before I would nurse my babies..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it calms them- calms mommy...makes baby sleepy</div>
