Month: September 2012

 I am so excited! Not quite a year ago we received an e-mail from an
editor at Better Homes and Gardens saying they were interested in
photographing our home for their 2012 Christmas Ideas issue and a few days
later spoke with her on the phone. As a girl, I never dreamed of being a
movie star or any of other “normal” things,  I dreamed of being the first girl in the NBA (I snort now at such a thought) and of having my home be featured in a magazine…yeah, I
was a very strange kid.

Well, here is our September porch. You can also see we moved our dining room table out here now that we
have the new farmhouse table in our dining room. It’s a bit tight but
it’s so much easier eating out here on this table than it was on the one
that was out there before and we really do enjoy eating as many meals
as we can out on the porch – especially this time of year!

Lillie was quite fascinated with this large moth we found.

 

I hope you all are having a lovely Sunday! I just wanted to pop in real quickly with the winners of the giveaway we hosted this weekend and then I’ll be back tomorrow morning with photos of our back porch decorated for fall.

This is officially our 500th blog post! I have to admit I am quite surprised that we’ve made it this far. I was so hesitant to start this blog in the first place. But here we are over two and a half years later and still plugging away so in honor of it we thought it would be fun to offer a big giveaway!

This will be another quick post. I’m just popping in with a few photos I took of our living room before Lola and I left for NH. As I mentioned last week, I am not really loving what I did for autumn before we left and think I will probably switch things up a bit once I get settled in back home.
