Day 246 of 365; September wind blows in…

Ooh did today ever feel like late Fall. If I hadn’t gone outside I would’ve sworn it was going to snow–the clouds were dark, and the wind was howling.

I took my son Rayce on a short country drive..and just soaked in the beauty that was blowing through my little corner of Wisconsin…..

Day 244 of 365; September Sunshine…

Oh I just LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. September! Bugs are few, sunshine is radiant. Perfect adventure weather.

I took my kids and a neighborhood kid/friend on a little adventure tonight to Big Falls County Park in Eau Claire.

On the way home, the sunset was breath taking, so we pulled over on the side of a Country Road between Eau Claire and Rock Falls and took a few photos with my iphone…

This is me.. doing what I love most. 🙂

Day 241; Display your treasures in a beautiful way

Day 241 of 365; Display your treasures in a beautiful way

I have a rustic/cottage chic/natural decor-themed home. I believe in keeping things simple, re-using items for new purposes and keeping it as natural as possible.

I have had a BIG bag of beach glass and rocks in a drawer for a long time, and yesterday while browsing the (OH SO FUN) isles of TJ MAXX I came across a clear glass bowl for only $3.00! I couldn’t resist, when I saw the bowl, I automatically was reminded of my Grandmother, the soft bird & butterfly painting on the side looked like something she would have painted or had displayed in her home. Upon seeing the bowl I also know instantly what I would use it for.

A chic and cute way to display my treasures from the beach;
