News from our little plot of paradise, 7 miles from civilization.
Welcome to my record of notable things that happen on our ranch. I must warn you that in an effort to appear interesting, adventurous, rosy-cheeked and chipper I may have the tendency to exaggerate the going's on around our house. But, just slightly.
About Me
- wendy
- I am a thirty-something mother of three kids, known for my: recipes containing far too many ingredients, hand-painted cards, voracious appetite for magazines, and a soft spot for all the mistreated pets of the world. I appreciate organized closets, mid-century furniture, Banana Republic clothes, art museums, anything quirky or unique and clever people. I am afraid of being snatched by a cougar while running and the bird flu.

Yea! I'm so excited to see the kids...it has been since July! Very ceative costumes. Do you have any close-ups of Libby?
The kids look absolutely adorable. Again, you went above and beyond the typical mom! You are amazing :)

Wendy, THANKS for the update!! I ALWAYS love your costumes and ideas! Oh, I think Riley looks just like you in that picture!!!!
How funny, Wendy. I saw that DARLING little bug collector at the Pony Express Halloween Parade and thought to myself... now that is the cutest costume in the school. I had NO idea that it was Riley. Kudos to you and your creativity. I just may use it in a couple of years, if I can get my DAUGHTER to stop choosing sick, scary costumes.
