A Place To Call Your Own

“You’ll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day and it’s just gone. And you can never get it back. It’s like you get homesick for a place that doesn’t even exist. I don’t know maybe it’s like this rite of passage, you know. You won’t have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start. It’s like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that’s all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.”
-Zach Braff in Garden State

Good thing I have found the man that makes me feel at home again. He is the most wonderful husband in the world solely because he puts up with the lunatic that is me. Then you add the fact that he fell in love with more than just me…he fell in love with my daughter too. Our little family is currently trying to buy our first home, expand into a bigger family, and hopefully start a little homestead. Not to mention that Daughter will be starting school later this year. The expression ‘when it rains, it pours’ comes to mind in that Husband and I are big dreamers. Go big or go home, right? AHHHH! We have so much going on, I guess I won’t run out of stuff to write about.

There is a Will You Taste This? section that is all about recipes I’ve tried and how we like them and I am also thinking of adding a section about photography so I can share what I think is art; besides, homestead means animals!! lol We can talk more about who we are in the Who Wants To Know section, but the Mindless Babble section is where you get to join us all for the ride.

Buckle up! We drive really fast around here!

Let’s Dance in the Rain!

There are people in this world who just don’t like rain. I don’t understand these people. Rain has always been so refreshing to me; almost like it renews everything. There are even cultures that believe rain is a sign of good luck or fortune. Thinking about starting a homestead is only making me see that… Continue reading Let’s Dance in the Rain!

Is Adultiest Even A Word?

Buying a house may be one of the hardest, most adultiest things I have ever done. Although he hasn’t said it in those words, I’m sure Husband would completely agree. He would probably add stressful and expensive to the list of adjectives to describe home buying, but I like my own words. We have officially… Continue reading Is Adultiest Even A Word?

From the Mouth of a Babe

My daughter is the funniest person I have ever known. Never in my life have I found comedy on tap like this. There are moments where I want to laugh at her but she is doing something that is not okay so I can’t laugh. Every mom I know says that these moments are really… Continue reading From the Mouth of a Babe

Will You Taste This?

I love to cook! I think that is why I am falling in love with cows… I tried cooking school but I think the only real thing I learned was that I didn’t want to cook in a professional kitchen, I just want to cook professionally in my kitchen. haha I wish I had made… Continue reading Will You Taste This?
