Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
I’m sure I’ve posted more than enough about my husband to thoroughly convince anyone that he is the absolute best. However, it feels only right that I start this year’s Days of Thankfulness with how unbelievably thankful I am to have him as the father of my children. He is such a wonderful dad, surprising […]
Recently Netflix released it’s very own adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, called Anne with an “E”. As a huge Anne fan I, naturally, have many mixed feelings about this. While Netflix has a pretty good track record with its original series thus far, Anne is sacred and demands nothing less than absolute perfection. I haven’t started […]
When I was a kid, Easter was the second biggest holiday on our calendar. While Christmas obviously took the cake, Easter was also a big deal. There were big celebrations and events at Church, Palm Sunday was commemorated with big musical productions, we even had a donkey one year. Some of the stuff, I’ll admit, […]
It’s March, guys, and you know what that means? Shamrock shakes are back at McDonalds. Okay, there are lots of other important things about March: spring is almost here, Lent started, which means fish fries are a thing again, daylight savings time starts up again… or ends again? I’m never sure which. Anyway, lots of […]
Today I am thankful for warm fuzzy things. This is all I want from today really, just to sit in my comfy chair with my fuzzy blanket and my fuzzy cats and be warm. This really is the best part about cool weather. I get to pull out all the blankets and all the fuzzy […]

Good morning, dear friends! This weekend we finally broke into some fall festivities and enjoyed some harvest festival fun with some friends of ours. My husband’s friend Panda made a list of fall things for us to do this year that he was very excited about. I too was very excited about this list as I […]
I mentioned to you briefly that I had managed to break my phone. It’s always the fall that you think, “oh it’s fine, that wasn’t bad,” that is actually the screen shattering disaster you’ve been praying will never come. I would like to point out that this is the first screen I’ve broken in the […]
Good morning, friends! My adventure for today will be horse back riding! I have a couple friends who are really into horses and even own a few, so every so often they’ll grab me and we’ll go out and do some riding. This is one such day. Tonight my husband will be off at a […]
I told you all about planting my garden at the end of May. It’s now been almost a month and I thought I would show off how it’s doing. I’ve been enjoying taking care of it so far, even if it is a little confusing and I’m not entirely sure I’m doing it right. I’m […]
