Autumn gave me the idea when she fashioned a bow out of a stick & string..
I pulled out my wooden arrow spoons and made the halo from a summer wreath.. and the rest came together naturally.
Even at her young age she inspires me with her little creations.
Standing in the wheat colored field.. the soft wind blowing her hair.. she takes my breath away!

Urban Family -Springfield Mo Photographer
I enjoyed capturing Buffy and her lovely family from Sweet Life Photography.
The session was a very cute stylish affair downtown Commercial St.
Cuute little Jack was clearly the star of the show with his big grin & cool batman gear. :)
Give Thanks
“Give thanks with a grateful heart.”
This song has been in my mind lately.. it always lifts my heart.
Have a blessed week with your families!
Home tour [kitchen]
Moving on with our home tour.. the busiest room of the house!
I recently painted my island an apple green color with a chalkboard inset and painted words.
It’s my daily reminder to think positive. :)
Glass 20″ frames – Ikea
Counter stools – Overstock.com
Metal cage drum pendant - Shades of light
Various Flea Market finds
I am thankful for my little helpers. :)
They put away the dishes each day without complaint.
Family portrait 2012
Us.. right now in this pumpkin flavored season. So thankful for each day with the ones I love.
Days are busy with learning.
Clay already has a small stack of early readers that he is able read by himself. Exciting progress for both of us.
Garrett practices his trumpet every chance he gets. (which may be the explanation behind all my recent headaches.) ;D
The trumpet is special because it was handed down from my husband’s father who passed on when he was young. So it stays.
.. and I don’t know how it’s possible, but my Autumn gets sweeter everyday. I love to hear her chatter about her day after school.
Life is good.
A big thanks to my sister Alisia who is our family photographer!

Fall happenings on my iphone.
There is nothing I enjoy more than exploring new places.. especially when they are so close-by.
We have been hiking in the mountains of Arkansas.
and of course there was the exciting countdown to Halloween.
I love this time of year. :)
Sherlock Holmes
This little guy is a mystery detective for Halloween!
We found some clues & mysterious footprints at the park,
but the trail went cold at the playground. ;) Until next time..
Detective costume tutorial found here .
Home tour [living]
Home.. a place of loving & living.
As you can see by this post- I love color!
The hearth room is special because it brings us together. It’s a cozy comfortable place to spend our time.
A couple years ago I decided to change things up from a neutral traditional palette > see below to something a bit more fun.
I started by painting the walls. For my main living space I chose a muted grey/seafoam.
My goal was to pick up a midcentury theme without investing in all new furniture.
It evolved into a whimsical collection of handmade details & flea market finds
.. and always a work in progress. ;)
The record player/console is a recent addition from my grandparents.
We are having a great time listening to & collecting the old records!
