We Are Home In Kentucky

-

 Hi friends!

Well, it has been a whirlwind the past few weeks but we managed to move from Wisconsin to our new home in Kentucky. We closed on our KY home on August 10th and moved in on August 12th. 

Our main reason for our move was to be near our two month old grandson, daughter and son in law.


This was a Christmas gift from our daughter and son in law last year and we are excited to give it a place of honor at our door!


We've been busy unpacking and organizing, but I just had to play around a little bit.  This will all change, but it is nice to have a little area amid the chaos.



I carved out a cozy spot in our kitchen overlooking the backyard. I was going to sell this chair prior to our move but changed my mind at the last minute. I'm so glad because it really works in this space. There is a sweet family of deer that congregate in our backyard a few times a day and this is a good spot to watch them.

Hoping to get back to some  normalcy - its been a crazy year. I really do want to get back into posting, to visiting and commenting on blogs. I've had some false starts, but I think I finally will have the time to be more consistent. Fingers crossed!  Thanks to all of you who have hung with me and to those of you who are new. I appreciate you all.

    Hi Jane! Oh, you have been a busy gal! I'm so proud for you that you can be close to your baby! Can't wait to see what you do with your new home. I'm so glad you popped in to see me as when I lost my old blog - I lost my blog list too! I'll add you to my list so I can stay in touch.

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
