I am a 34 year old flower child at heart. I owned my own cleaning business for 10 years and am happily obsessed with Windex, hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes. I am in love with my husband Travis & my 5 beautiful children. (Tristin, Roman, Daisy, Grace & Willow), motorcycle rides, chocolate, fabric, my yellow VW bug, the ocean, writing, art, yard sales, Pinterest, thrift stores, Yahtzee games, good deals, Advil,vacuums,The Office, back rubs & trips to Target make me happy.

Daddy & Grace helping with pears...
When Trav came home from work today, he helped me peal pears for about a half hour, I thought it was so sweet of him when deep down, I know he wanted to lay down and take a nap. (He's up at 4:45 every day!)He then spent the next few hours running kids to different activities while I stayed home and worked on pears w/o kids!
Grace LOVES to help me can. She's actually been a help too, if you can believe that! She's adorable, goofy, sweet & moody all wrapped up in a 3 year old body. I love her.
My very first tomato!
I'm not sure what is wrong with my tomatos, but this was my first one that turned red and I picked it today. I have one on the way, but really, only 2??? I made a BLT today and ate almost the entire thing, kinda fun knowing I grew it myself!
