Happy Birthday to my sweet and beautiful girl! You are my light and joy on this Earth. 17 years ago God reached down and gave me this beautiful little treasure filled with fun and adventure!

I have loved watching you; experiencing life through your eyes. The joy and laughter that has edges of sadness. The hearty laugh and sometimes the soft cry. Your emotions are strong, but so is your love!

I am a very simple girl, very simple.
I only know how to love, how to care.
I only have kindness and joy to share.
I am a simple star without a twinkle.

I am a very simple girl, very simple.
I am not a famous dancer or singer.
I can feel your dancing heart with my finger.
My heart is longing for love, very simple.
-Dr. Debasish Mridha

I know it has been awhile since I've shared a home

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted on

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted on the gram. All is well…Life is just busy, which is a good thing!

Today, as I set my table for tomorrow, I couldn’t help humming “America the Beautiful “. Oh, she is beautiful!

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Nothing like cutting it close to share my Christma

Nothing like cutting it close to share my Christmas decor. This year has been such a busy one. So busy in fact, we only put up one tree and decorated the outside of our home with lights. Normally there are at least four trees that we put up and decorate. But, not this year. So, I hope you enjoy our Family Room decorated for Christmas! #christmasdecor #christmasmantel #christmascandles #christmastrees #tistheseason #thededicatedhouse
