I decided to forgo the self-timer and waddling to and fro. Instead I opted for the self-portrait in the mirror. Which ended up being just as time consuming because my sense of direction is non-existent. rather than belly shots I got this…. and this…. Neither location was anywhere near where my bulging belly was parked. […]

I found him, Anna. I’m sure you have been wondering what happened to him. He arrived at Windy Ridge so late that we didn’t even hear him come in. Who else would drive 12 hours roundtrip for spur-of-the-moment fishing? Besides Benny or Levi.
Halibut season has begun. Something Levi & our 5 sons have been anticipating all year. They have left Windy Ridge for the Pacific ocean and there they shall remain (heart, mind, body & soul) until summer’s end. I have not been out on the ocean with Captain Levi for several reasons: I am deathly afraid of the mighty […]
DON’T DO THIS! Levi’s brother emailed this and I couldn’t resist sharing. Good Morning from Windy Ridge!
Finally, some luxury for the boys. Soft cotton jersey with crushed velvet trim. More boy stuff on the way!

(and look at those babies! Yum!) PS- I am […]

If you like photoshop actions you must try Sonia’s Bohemian Secret. So much fun to play with. Violet is covered in the Heirloom Receiving Blanket which she was received in 2 years ago and still uses today. I designed this collection especially for her. Now it is time to design some new pieces for our unborn daughter.
Landon took these photos of Riley while I was not home. This is the reason boys end up in the ER more than girls. Thank goodness there were no major injuries in this event.
Landon has been working hard with Levi so I decided I would make supper Saturday night. Fresh Cream of Broccoli Soup Ingredients: 4 celery ribs, chopped 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 large onion, chopped 5 tablespoons butter 2 bunches broccoli, trimmed and coarsely chopped (about 8 cups) 1-1/2 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons […]
Haircuts. Another thing we keep simple at Windy Ridge. I usually put off this task until I can no longer look at my sons’ shaggy heads without feeling completely & utterly overwhelmed. I wait until the gum and other paraphernalia stuck to their unruly strands is out of control and a sense of failure washes […]
