Life Is Beauty Full Pillow & Mothers

me & kids

We hope if you are a Mother you enjoyed a special meal or breakfast from your family or maybe a nice meal out this past weekend.  Even though I haven't talked to Kristin on the phone yet today, I'm pretty sure she had a lovely meal.  Both our husbands love to cook.  They put the FEAST in LoveFeast a lot of the time.  My husband made me a lovely bacon wrapped steak on the grilled.  During dinner he had each of our 4 kids take turns sharing what was special about their Mom.  Their answers "doing our laundry", "helping us", … [Read more...]

Mother’s Tree Of Life Necklace

Holding necklace feature

As some of you may know we are both mothers of many children.  Kristin has 5 children and Chris Ann has 4.  After many years, and all those children neither of us had a piece of jewelry to represented our families.  We knew there was something out there, but we hadn't come across anything that we thought would last the years, live past the fads, remain classic, stylish and sophisticated.  Something that we would treasure forever.  We also knew that whatever Mother's jewelry we would get, it had to be artistic. We want to … [Read more...]

Inspiration In An Italian Print Shop

Trevi fountain

About 4 years ago Kristin and I and our husbands, Todd and Devon, embarked on a week of Italian adventure.  It was the first time we had traveled together.  We were comfortable with eachother abroad as much as in our own backyards.   We drank the best wine, shared a wonderful table in Tuscany, found the best apartment right behind the Trevi Fountain that was spotless, and snacked from fresh local markets.  We discovered Todd and I are fast walkers.  One day as we meandered in a neighborhood somewhere near the Spanish Steps … [Read more...]

Sofa Confessional

186

I shared with you A Sofa Story and how our current sofa helped to create a home. We loved that sofa for a long time, but I must confess, the love is wearing thin. My kids wanted to put their two cents into the ring. So, we created a Sofa Confessional in our closet and let them rant. *I am participating in Su Casa Furniture's Test It, Blog It, Win It. I get to choose a sofa of my choice, let it live with me for a month, blog about it, try it out and if I'm chosen as the winner (based on creativity) I get to keep the sofa. If … [Read more...]

A Sofa Story

sofa

We were happy to be back in the States. We had just spent 6 months traveling abroad with 4 young kids under the age of 10.  We had backpacked the 2 year old all over China, taken our 9 year old to a Chinese clinic to be treated by a cigarette smoking doctor that we couldn't understand, bathed children in a bucket in the Philippines heated with an electric (yes, electric!) heater and eaten food unknown to most Americans. It was a trip of a lifetime and the stories and friends we collected along the way, were … [Read more...]
