Sunday - random thought of the day

“All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us.”

The Wonder Years

Making a house our home...no.1

Every house where love abides

And friendship is a guest,

Is surely home, and home sweet home

For there the heart can rest.

Feeling inspired

by the reuse of vintage lace with a story to tell, the raw beauty of natures geode, and by accenting and creating with vintage chain.

My first attempt at syling with polyvore. Inspired by the steve madden maxximus bootie.

Okay...this is a really groovy site I just happened upon yesterday. Something to consume my time, time I don't actually have.

P.s. I am watching those exact boots on ebay for less than half the price in stores...

What is something you would rather be doing?

Sunday 'random thought of the day'

repost from here via here

amen!

What exactly does it mean to be 'normal' anyway?

Anew...

The beginning of a new year is the time to start fresh. Take a deep breath followed by a deep sigh then a deep smile. Time to begin anew. Time to let go of the years past and do things a bit differently a bit (a lot) better perhaps. A perfect time to begin work on becoming a better wife, a better mother, a better sister, a better daughter, a better YOU. It may take some time to figure out just what it means to be a better you but this is a journey that we should enjoy, an adventure to be cherished.

As for me, I feel to be a better me I would like to
follow my heart and silence my doubt and insecurities
be more loving and available to my children and husband without frustration and impatience
have more trust and have less fear

What are a few things you could do to work on being a better you?

Innocent play on a beautiful winters day.

My sweet girl enjoyed spending her holidays off outdoors in nature with her imagination. This reminds me of when I was about her age I would make house layouts under the tall bushes sweeping the pine needles into piles to mark the walls while leaving open spaces for the doorways. What a memory and what a pleasure it is to experience this innocent play through the eyes of my little girl. I love to see her get so much enjoyment from the beautiful limbs of the majestic live oak. A perfect setting for play.

What sweet memory of innocent child's play do you cherish?

A womans work...farm life...the sustainable way...

" To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labors, and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, cakes, and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can understand how this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute.” G.K. Chesterton taken from “What’s wrong with the World.”.

A lovely quote via a comment on this inspiring post by farmama. A great blog of their sustainable way...have a look for yourself here she is an inspiration.

P.S. I do hope this post finds its way to my soul sista and local farm momma Jamie who is living the way.
