The Phillips Family

For those that watched Sesame Street growing up, this video will definitely look familiar. The music especially takes me way back. I loved this video, and evidently, still do! And a bonus…

Monroe Organic Farms’ Harvest Festival was a couple of weekends ago, and Jeremy got to make his first visit to the farm. We had good food and got to see see several things for the first time- the farm’s cold storage pits, the apple cider press, the pop corn shucker, and the potato digger. There [...]

Two weekends ago, I attended a wonderful retreat in Vail with women from our young married group at church. It was a lovely, refreshing, relaxing, and yummy weekend. We cooked (squash and fennel soup with creme fraiche), we ate (black chocolate cake), we lounged, we hiked over hill and dell, we pondered survival skills, we [...]

I have since learned that so many friends have an interest in quilting (and apparently were quilting in their closets?) P.S. Leave her a friendly comment on her blog so she’ll [...]
