Springtime in Quarantine
How are you holding up? This is such a surreal time in our lives, but I hope you are adjusting to your new normal whatever that may be. At our house, we are all currently in a seven day quarantine because poor little Fletcher developed a cough over Easter weekend. He seems to be doing okay, no fever or breathing difficulties. Just a rough cough that has made a few nights less than ideal. Having all four kids at home and trying to manage schoolwork for the older ones (plus their google meets and zoom sessions) while tending to the little ones has been my biggest challenge. I know others…

White and Gray Vintage Bathroom Refresh
Life has sure changed in the past couple of months, hasn’t it? I never could have imagined living in a time like this, but here we are. I hope all of you are managing to stay healthy both physically and mentally as we battle this crisis time “together alone.” I, personally, am holding up well although we have all battled some form of illness or another in the past several months. Everyone seems to be healthy now and we continue to stay close to home. This time has had its number of challenges as we strive to figure out our new normal. My top priority is keeping the kids healthy…

Fletcher Reeve
Our little baby boy, Fletcher Reeve, was born on October 14th! He is our fourth baby who came after a heartbreaking miscarriage, and has been pure joy for us since he arrived. Okay, okay…not every moment has been pure joy…but most of them have 🙂 He was born an hour and forty minutes after my water broke at 2:30 am. I actually woke up from a dream that I was being attacked (scary!) and heard a loud pop and then felt the gush. Immediately, I felt the first painful contraction. I knew we had to get to the hospital fast. My biggest fear was that he came in the car…

House Small: Boho Dollhouse Shop
Exciting news: I have opened a new Etsy shop, called House Small, devoted to my love for boho dollhouse decor and eclectic miniatures! Okay, so here is how it all started… Have I mentioned, I have a *slight* obsession with dollhouses and miniatures? Okay, maybe a time or two… It has been a lifelong interest, but the passion was sparked again. a few years ago, when my husband brought home a handmade dollhouse from a garage sale. (Read about our fixer upper dollhouse and see before photos!) It needed a lot of love, which inspired me to give it a complete makeover. This dollhouse is still a work in progress…

Getting Back to Art & Creating
First, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came, read, commented and shared your personal stories with me on my last post about my miscarriage. There is tremendous healing in reading the kind and encouraging words of others. Both by those who have been there and those who offer their support and sympathy. When the depression had finally lifted, I continued to talk with my counselor and told her how I still felt lost as to who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. I’ve been a stay at home mom with side businesses (my blog, Etsy shop, etc.) for several years,…
