Saturday, I surprised my husband with a Special Day Away…just the TWO of us!
It was our 9 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday but with a full work week and three kids, we didn’t find the time to celebrate properly. We didn’t even exchange cards.
I had my sister come over for a sleepover Friday night, so [...]

It is so hard to believe that I have been selling on etsy for a year!And on the other hand, it’s equally hard to believe it’s ONLY been a year.

Leaving town, it looked as if we may be leaving gray skies behind and looking to blue skies ahead.

But this is what met us in Portland.

Well,….. for the weekend.
I will be soaking up the sea air and gorging myself on all of the seafood I can possibly cram into my face.I’ll be sure to bring you all back some Taffy!

Hope you all have an equally lovely weekend.

Enough said.

Whenever I am wary, whenever I am in doubt….Whenever the stakes are high….The odds are against me….
Whenever the road is too long….Too narrow….Too cramped….
The air too thin….The sea too deep….The wind too fierce….
Whatever the storm, whatever the weather, you make me feel like I can do anything.

My sister and my very best friend are the only people I knew of that could make me laugh until I thought I would pee my pants.
Then, I met you.
The first time we spoke, I can’t even recall what we said but I remember the laughter.I remember not being able to wipe my smile from [...]

Today is a day for reflection.Reflecting on eight years.Years filled with joy, love, children and friendship.And so very much kindness.

For as long as we’ve been together, he has woken early each morning and made me coffee.Uncoaxed by yours truly.
At first, when we were dating, I thought it was just his cute little way of making [...]
