Merry Christmas, sweet readers! Bryan and I are staying here in Louisville this season and playing host to my family for dinner tomorrow. While it's a small celebration, I- per usual- pulled out all the stops. Here are a few glimpses into our home, before the wrapping paper comes off, and ...
Easter, 2015
The Easter holiday always passes by too quickly. I love the welcome of Spring, the promise of a sweet, glazed ham, flowers on the patio. This year, we were joined by my parents and our Mississippi family (a couple who moved here a couple years ago from the south and have become very best friends), ...
Glimpses of Christmas on the Farm

New Christmas Traditions
