It's Been Awhile!

What have I been doing? Work, taxi cab driver (for the kids), cooking, being a mom & a wife. I did find some time to make Brioche for the FIRST time ever!!! I think it turned out rather well. Thank goodness for Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa!

September morn

My brother sent me this picture today to brag about the beautiful September mornings they have in Kansas. I have to admit that I missed Kansas when I saw this picture. I love Eastern Kansas. The rollings hills and the tall beautiful trees make my sould feel at ease. Every time that I go back and visit I am taken aback with the beauty of this part of the world. It still feels like home to me.

Do you have a place that you visit where you feel as comfortable as you do in your own home? Please share with us. What makes you love it so much?

La Petite Maison

My friend has the sweetest French cottage that happens to be in Utah. Who would've thunk it??? She has lots of style & hates it when I tell her young Elizabeth Taylor looks just like her. Her charming house is all decorated up for Christmas. I love several things in her home, like the terracotta tiles on her floor. Well, I should be very honest, I love everything in her home. I covet her creamy white slipcovered sofas, which I can't have due to a messy/sloppy husband & children. Her home is a place where you could linger or be the house guest that never leaves. One day she may come home to find me napping on her fluffy white sofas or bed (which would totally creep her out, but it would be extremely funny)!

Be sure to notice the cute pictures of Kim & I that are now posted to the left under "My Profile". We're soooo adorable!
