We're still here!!!
It's been a VERY busy few weeks around here! Amanda at Sew Originals loved the items I brought in to show her, and I've been working on putting together several items for her to sell. I think we've collectively decided on Sweet Mylissa's - at this point if I can just get a few dresses made quickly I'll be happy. This month, we've had Nonny and our sweet friends the Logsdon's here to stay, and this weekend is the HFH Ladies Retreat/Pancake Breakfast/Property Workday/Inaugural BBQ Smoking Day/Cole Kaspar's Birthday Party. I will be downtown with 13 or so ladies for our retreat, while Mark is here at at the house managing that other stuff, along with Mo and Andy. Yes, we are crazy :) So I'll leave you with a few pictures from the past few weeks and promise a more detailed update later.

Fun for Mama
Well...
I really didn't think I would do this (again) but I have the chance to sell (just a few) of my handmade items in a little shop in Munford, TN. I am meeting with the owner next week, and we agreed together that I would provide some items, but I wouldn't be under any pressure to provide a high rate of product. Since I pretty much give away what i make, I will be throwing together a few cute pieces this weekend to bring in to Amy, so we can decide together what will work best in her store.
So - this is where you come in.
Some of may know (or remember, God love you) that Mark and I had a little shop in Wilmington, NC while we lived there. Mark made jewelry, I made clothes, and we even had Greatful Dead tie dyed t-shirts for sale. This little place had the uber-cool name of:
InnerSoul Creations
ARGH!! I can't believe I just publicly admitted that. We were 19. Now...I really need your help to come up with a name for my items. I dont really see the need for this, but Mark thinks its imperative. The two that are in the running at the moment are:
Mimi's Closet
Sweet Mylissa's
Both of these have meaning in my life - my father used to name stuff Sweet Mylissa after me - once a big shiny red dump truck and another time a big boat that started on fire. Confession time! And a precious little girl who I loved dearly while she was little used to call me Mimi. I practiced most of my mothering on this little one, since I didn't have my own yet, and I still love her dearly.
Ok - vote away, or help me with a better name!!

Jack Black and the Opry
Mark and I took a little trip to Nashville for the weekend, and visited the Grand Ole Opry for the first time. We were lucky enough to see Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush, The Infamous Stringdusters, Del McCoury, and this guy.

long time no chat
I know it's been quite some time since I wrote a post! I tend to get so far behind that I don't know where to begin. Well...since we have been schooling regularly since early January, I will share a story that Bella wrote. Moms, this is her second draft - just to be clear :)
I once was in a hurricane! That was when I was little (about three or four). We lived in Florida at the time and we had nowhere to hide in our house. So about two weeks before the storm we went to a condo. It had a big closet in the bathroom. Alot of people could fit in it. My baby brother wasn't born yet but my other brother was (he's my little brother). My family came, my grandparents came, and two of my cousins who were older. When the storm hit, we all went in the closet, and all we could do was play cards and eat bread and drink apple juice! Our house got pretty damaged! All the water fell in, the ceiling fell in, and the garage door door got blown in! We were in teh condo for almost two months!
we'll deal with her 'expressive' writing style later. I love getting the chance to see how the kids' memory works - for example, we went to the condo the morning that the hurricane was blowing in, her baby brother was actually about three months old, and i think we were there nearly till Christmas! I remember just wishing to be back in our house for the holidays. And thankfully she doesn't remember things that were really hard for mom and dad; her chemo shipment being held up in the Fedex warehouse, or the fact that she and mommy wound up with lice (EEEEWWWW!!!!) while we were staying in that condo. First and only time, praise Jesus.
