    The Baby Picture

    On a warm humid night an old woman walks on squeaky floorboards, passing open windows, the moon watching down. Sleep eludes her in this quiet house with its good bones and memories keeping watch over her shoulder.  She stands on shaky tip toe, pulling a box down from a high closet shelf.  She sits on her…

  • Friday Favorites {Rooms to Inspire}

    When this blog first started 5 years ago, I posted so many great rooms for decorating inspiration.  When the Pinterest sensation took over it seemed redundant to post a handful of pictures here when anyone could see thousands of pictures there.  But in the days of busy mamas and social-media overload I thought it might…

Q: …

    Favorite Photos Lately

    A few of my favorite pictures I have taken over the past few weeks . . . Wynn pulling James and his 2 little cousins in the wagon at sunset. I love James’ face in this because he is such a happy-go-lucky guy, always the life of the party! Cousin Molly on the family farm…

    Happy Birthday, USA!

      This, then, is the state of the union:  free and restless, growing and full of hope.  So it was in the beginning.  So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.  ~Lyndon B. Johnson

    Back at the Beach Cottage

    Happy summer, friends!   Summer is in full swing and we are back in Michigan at our beach cottage until Labor Day.  It was somewhat of a relief to get away from all the projects I had ongoing at our new house in North Carolina and to just be for the summer.  My housekeeping skills…

    Our Nursery Playroom Part 1 {Between You and Me Signs}

    Welcome to Sweet Home Carolina. Where in years worth of remodeling . . . I started in the nursery. I couldn’t help myself. After many years of moving around, I couldn’t wait to build a nest for my little ones that would be permanent. I love to design children’s spaces and I crave a special…

    Lovers of Light

    When it comes to photography, light is everything. I am fascinated by light and like to think that my photography is inspired by The Light of the World. I especially love to take pictures in the hour before sunset, which is referred to as the Golden Hour.  The light is low and even in the…

  • A Mother’s Hands

    I have a vivid memory from childhood. A memory of my mother and her hands, a conversation we had about a woman’s hands.  I was probably five years-old, at home in the afternoon with my mother following morning kindergarten.  The t.v. was on, some glamorous soap opera star filling the screen. “Would you just look…
