life’s simplest pleasures and life’s greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
Home on Aspen, our “stay awhile house.” We have lived here just three short years and filled this home with life, love, and a whole lot of beauty.

If you know me at all you know I love books! I’m never with out one, or more like a bag full of books. Reviewing books is one of my favorite perks of having this blog and that will continue to be part of what I do here. BUT you may have noticed an influx […]

I am hoping I can prepare in a way that helps us remember the reason for the season and soak up our time as a family. […]
