Canadian Geese
As I am from Maryland, I have seen many Canadian Geese in my day–usually flying in their V or, still with their gaggle, eating, drinking, and splashing somewhere fun. However, on our recent trip to the north, we drove by a farm where I saw a hillside covered in geese, who were probably stopping off […]
Growing
The cooler months are upon us here in Florida. While much of the rest of the country is snowy and freezing, we are enjoying having the windows open and running outside without having to come in to avoid the heat or jump in the pool to cool off a bit. The girls have been enjoying […]
Home
It’s always nice to come home. The normalcy of our world is so nice to return to. We spent the last week visiting our Maryland family and we had a fantastic time! It was a week of firsts for the girls–at least a week of doing things they can really only do in colder areas […]
{A Pause for the Finer Things in Life}
Weekly (although this time it’s been a month since the last one), I post one or two pictures that demonstrate how the most simple things in life are, in fact, the finer things–those that mean the most and will be among the most precious of memories. So here is this week’s picture. Enjoy!
thinking of autumns past
Life in Florida has been fantastic, but ever so often I get the urge to travel Northward–especially in the fall! There isn’t a thing I don’t like about a Northern Autumn. The crisp feel in the air.

Felt Board Autumn Tree
Felt boards! Aren’t they fun!? I used to love them when I was a kid. My kids love them too although I find I need to keep it interesting. They prefer their little wooden toys they can hold in their hands. So, with the changing of the seasons I made some adjustments to their felt […]
Autumn Leaf Garland
We’ve been busily decorating our house with our fall decor. Every year it gets more and more fun as my little helpers get old enough to take part in the changing of the seasonal decor. Each one lends a hand as we get out the box of autumn things and decide where everything will […]
Welcome, Autumn Fairies!
Happy Autumn! We’ve entered one of my favorite times of year and I’m so excited about it. So excited in fact, that I’m itching to visit our family up North so we can experience the autumn season in true fashion. Today we welcomed the Autumn Fairies by leaving them gifts of welcome.
A Turtle Surprise
My lovely Laelia is going to be two in a week. Two! So, I wanted to take her to the beach to do some fun birthday pictures there. She was quite photogenic today and I was snapping her precious little self with my camera. When we were about done, the other two girls ran over […]
Mama’s favorite things – Summertime
With the changing of the seasons in the air, I thought I would take a moment to reminisce about the wonders of summertime and list a few of my favorite things about summer. 1. The abundance of rainbows after a good storm 2. The feel of a thunderstorm rolling in on a hot day, cooling […]
