naptime project
Emma got a new skirt while she napped yesterday morning. It’s a simple little skirt, and probably a tad long for her, but it satisfied my itch to make something “springy” for her to wear. And the fabric is so gorgeous!!!
on a whim
, originally uploaded by Lizi Beth. We were in the library on Monday afternoon, browsing through the gardening and home design books (gathering ideas for “someday”), when I turned around and was confronted by the dessert cookbooks, particularly one devoted to cheesecakes.We hurried out of the library and I made one. It was very good. Gone in 18 hours (should I admit that?) kind of good. I used the recipe off the gigantic box of Philadelphia cream cheese from Sam’s…

spring is coming!
and there is a new post up over at the market blog.

I am so excited to have her within a visiting distance! I enjoy having sisters-in-law. So far I have been blessed with two and they are just so wonderful. Each unique with her own particular style and strengths. Sarah, John’s sister, and I have gotten to…
“the divinest gift of marriage is this – the daily, unconscious growing of two souls into one. Aspirations and ambitions merge, each with the other, and love grows fast to love. Unselfishness answers to unselfishness, tenderness responds to tenderness, and the highest joy of each is the well-being of the other. … Day by day and year by year the bond becomes closer and dearer, until at last the two are one, and even death is no division.” -myrtle reed,…
