This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015 I love candles. I also love tart warmers, my essential oils diffuser, potpourri – pretty much anything that makes my home smell good. But candles are my favorite. The flickering flames appeal to my inner pyro, I think. When I was in college, I worked in a candle shop. I learned a lot from the owner; like the importance of keeping the candle wick trimmed Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015 Hey Y’all! I’ve been having a blast with my little chalkboard sign! I made this using an old picture frame I found in the basement and some paint a few months ago. I’ve changed out the wording several times since and I think I may finally be getting the hang of this hand lettering thing! I’m trying, at any rate. Last month, I lettered the most Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015I don’t know, y’all – this may end up being more than two parts! It was a pretty big adventure, so I guess we’ll see how things go … When last we spoke, my darling husband, intrepid internet truck buyer that he is, and I were traveling out of Enid after buying a new summer car. It was halcyon days, my friends – we had the open road Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015I have recently become one of those people. You know, the people you hear talk about how they traveled to other states to buy cars or horses, or who have recently returned from a jaunt to a far flung location to look at real estate? Well, ‘those people’ are me. Allow me to explain … As y’all are aware, I enjoy online shopping. For me, the Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015I think to the outside world, I present a picture of someone who’s very calm, collected and generally together. But it’s all a fake-out of magnificent proportion. Those who know me well know I’m rarely calm, and am frequently and utterly un-collected. But they love me anyway, which is wonderful, I must say. I’ve mentioned before that we home school our four children. Technically, only three of Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015It’s raining, it’s pouring! And I’m not complaining! Well, not much, anyway. The truth is we’ve been in a drought for the past 8 years and we desperately need the moisture. But I’ll be honest … it’s been raining for about three weeks now … and I’m starting to get a little annoyed. Shhhh! Don’t tell my husband! Or anyone else around here, for that matter. Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015I had a post ready to upload yesterday. It was a fun and light-hearted account of my husband’s and my recent trip to a really cool flea market event in the City, which served as my Mother’s Day gift. But none of that matters in light of the thing that happened yesterday afternoon … and I decided that I really must share with you that thing. Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015Yesterday was a busy day on The Farm. We had cattle delivered in the morning, which is always quite a production. More cows means more water, so a solar pump had to be installed on the water well at the other place to avoid hauling water 2 or 3 times a day. I’m especially excited about this, as I am the designated water hauler. It’s not Continue Reading
