Live-It List Lesson

Last year at this time The Suede Sofa began talking about the “Live-It List” – which is sort of like a bucket list, but with the emphasis on living rather than on dying.  Well, 2012 is coming to a close and I’ve been working on my “Live-It List” all year long.  In January, I startedContinue reading “Live-It List Lesson”

Love It! {Farmyard Tales}

Looking for a good children’s book?  This is currently one of my favorites.  I first heard of it when Lara and her family stayed with my family during their move.  (Click here to read about her moving her house!) Each night Lara would read it to her kids and mine.  After their move, Lara gaveContinue reading “Love It! {Farmyard Tales}”

{S C A R Y!!!}

Have you ever seen the glass bridge suspended over the Grand Canyon?  All I can say is… S C A R Y!!!  Even though I wouldn’t consider myself to have a fear of heights I do have a healthy respect for them.  When my girls start moving towards the edge of some high object whether it beContinue reading “{S C A R Y!!!}”

{Get A Head Start On The Holidays}

For the past few years I have scrambled to get my ChRiStMaS cards out before DeCeMeBeR 24th.  My problem wasn’t that I had the cards sitting around the house and just didn’t get around to it, but rather it was racing to get pictures taken and then have the cards made.  Last year I only received my cards 2-3 days before Christmas. Continue reading “{Get A Head Start On The Holidays}”

{HaPpY FaLL!!!}

Ah… it’s FaLL!  And although I am always sad to see summer come to an end, there are so many things about this NoStaLgiC time of the year to love.  Off the top of my head I’m thinking of pleasant weather; FoOtBaLL games; crisp Saturday mornings; apple dumplings; fall festivals; chili on the 1st cool day; pullingContinue reading “{HaPpY FaLL!!!}”

{Tricky People Are The New Strangers}

Ok, I just had to share this blog post (the link is at the bottom of this article) I pinned on Pinterest because it is so vitally important to the SaFeTy of our kids!!  In this day and age it can be a bit challenging protecting your kids from predators.  (And disheartening that we even haveContinue reading “{Tricky People Are The New Strangers}”

{One Sure Way To Drown}

One thing my family loves to do in the SuMmEr is go to the swimming pool.  My 4-year old, Belle, loves to jump into the pool and swim to me.  Last week after she had finished one of these drills she said, “Momma, I didn’t worry, because worry will make you drown.” She was referring to something I hadContinue reading “{One Sure Way To Drown}”

{How To Add Effects & Words To Photos}

I think it is kinda funny, ME, writing a post about editing pictures.   That’s because I really am techno-challenged.  {Is that a laugh I just heard all the way from Lyndon, Kansas – 90 miles away?!  Yes, I am quite certain Lara is laughing because she has taken too-many-to-count phone calls from me with myContinue reading “{How To Add Effects & Words To Photos}”
