the women who could sew just helped everyone along. the SWAG fairy brought more goodies while the crafters were sleeping…. :) after brunch we took a field trip to shop for antiques! Bearly Making It Antiques is probably the most organized antique store there is. (and my favorite)

I’m sure you’ll be recooping all week!:)) You and Kimberlee make a great duo! You both are awesome.
i love taking pictures of families! 🙂 ………………………………………..
These pictures make me want to have more children! Wish I could afford them, and wish I wasn’t 38. SIGH Love the family picture! Lovely photos! such nice photos!! 🙂 I love your family photos. They all look so natural… not all coordinated and perfectly posed. And I love that mom’s red shoes. Such a great pop of color. 🙂 Funny, I was drooling over those red Toms wedges too:) Great pictures Meg! These are stunning!!! I need you in my life!!! I would love a photograph of my whole family actually looking in the same direction – let alone at the camera!!! Loved, Loved, Loved seeing my “little” brother and his family on your blog! I have been watching to see if you’d post any of the pics of the family from the Husker state! Thanks for allowing me a peek into their session! I know family #5! I miss seeing them since we have moved. They are so sweet! Great pics!! Excited to see the Driggers….love the sweat pants. These are great pictures! Love the family pictures Megan…especially the last one. Can’t wait until it is our turn! You made my day to get a glimpse of our family pics!!! THANKS!!! These are all so beautiful! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the link to Hire Blog Help. I’ll have to check that out. So fun to see a family on here that I know! Crazy! So, I live in Olathe and my husband and I just opened a booth at a local antique place in town. I’m thinking about a road trip out to Barely Makin’ It. What do you think? Would I be able to find some fun things for my booth? I’m filling it with furniture but want to find some fun accessories… I’m doing some yarn wreaths and book page wreaths, chalkboards in ornate frames, etc. Love your blog, by the way! I love you, Meg! Ah what a fun surprise! Love our photo you chose to post, Meg. THANK YOU again!!! It’ll be fun to finally have a profile pic on my blog 😉 wowza. these family pics are awesome Meg! That’s so funny you linked up to Hire Blog Help today – I just received my first Virtual Assistant job today 🙂 xxx Fantastic! You find such great locations to shoot. I love the brick background. Sidenote: Red Toms WEDGES?! My heart skipped a beat. Lovin’ her style! what a weird title. we almost always go peach picking when we are in michigan.
dave filled a basket of the peaches already on the ground (ruined ones) and made our michigan sign. i don't even like peaches. and after this jenny and i got to go out for lunch just the mommies!!! COOL STORY here: then later that evening after a day of throwing around a lot of frustration and thoughts i have been having i checked her blog to support her in the {e}book. here is what i found as soon as i opened the page: Are you a blogger or have a web based business and are running yourself ragged? check. i bought it immediately. i love that she did it. i told her that God knew i was struggling….i was telling him constantly…so He told me "say hi to jeannett today" I just bought the e-book because I have mad organizational skills and want to help bloggers be all that they can be!! Hint, hint! 🙂 Thanks Meg…have been away in Minnesota for a week so missed your posts. Love that you’re back to making me giggle. I agree with you on peaches…they aren’t that great on their own. Try them sprinkled with sugar (ok maybe I put a lot of sugar) and some cream….Yummy! here’s an idea for you… just experimented the other day with my kids. put peaches in buttered baking dish. we added blackberries too. sprinkle with a little flour and brown sugar (if they need sweetening). take a roll of pillsbury sugar cookie dough and crumble it over the top. bake in 350 oven for 30-40 minutes or until brown. serve with vanilla ice cream. it is blueberry season late july–next year do that. easy picking but not so much bending over–like strawberry picking. we’re eating blueberries with everything, it’s ridonkulous. 🙂 I need a book about the frustrations of so many ideas with NO business…at all..to speak of, and life is slipping away, and you are not using your God given talents, but you have no idea where to even begin, and why does everything seem so HARD…and well… so cool how God works 🙂 will have to check that book out! Where in michigan were you? I would love to go pick peaches but most of the orchards do not have u-pick peaches. Awesome photos as usual! We are hoping to go blueberry picking in MI this weekend. 🙂 I love how God meets us right where we are (yay God!) I’m leaving your site to go check out the ebook. I have such a love/hate relationship w/ all things social media. sigh. I don’t want my kids to remember me pecking on a silly computer all the time, but it can also be used as an encouragement and ministry tool. Just have to keep it all balanced … (btw great pictures!) I now know that I’m obsessed with your blog. I was at the Bob Dylan concert at the Ryman last night and 2 of the guys from Kings of Leon sat in front of us and my first thought was, “Meg loves KOL!!!” I live in Nashville so obviously I don’t hang out with you, but… I did think about you at Bob Dylan last night! Isn’t that funny?! Love all your peach pictures. Wish we could do that around here somewhere…i’ll have to look into that! But we do have strawberries and raspberries 🙂 Hope you have a happy week! God is awsome and the way he gets our attention is so subtle sometimes, but when we pay attention it is so amazing! I’m glad you e-mailed Jeanette! Definitely try blueberries, raspberries or cherries next time you’re in Michigan – they’re all perfect right now! (strawberries are in June!) Pumpkin patch weather…a little nip of cool in the air mixed with warm sun and plenty of blue skies. And that wonderful shade of sunlight that only comes in the late afternoon of a midwest autumn day. Sigh! It’s 110 degrees in Olathe, KS today and summer has worn out its welcome. God is amazing! I love the way He does stuff. Wow. Meg, I love it when God does that! Awesomeness, pure & simple! YAY God! YAY you (for obeying His voice 🙂 BTW,what did you do with all the peaches … jam, jelly ….? I love it when God does that! Awesomeness, pure & simple! YAY God! YAY you (for obeying His voice 🙂 BTW,what did you do with all the peaches … jam, jelly ….? love jeannett. one of my fave blogs. love peaches. one of my fave fruits. LOVE the michigan 2011 picture. so creative. “let’s jam” sourface? KILLING me! so funny. Hey Meg, I bought that ebook too! But i don’t know Jeannett. When I was reading it though, I thought of you and wondered if you had a va:) Hope it works for you! It looks like you guys had a great time. On a related note – is it possible that I saw Chicago Jenny’s son at the Kohl’s Children’s Museum today? If so, small world! If not – he has a doppelganger in the area! 🙂 Hiya Meg…did you hear that Kings of Leon are not getting along and may possibly be breaking up? It was on our radio up here and I immediately thought of you! Hate to be the bearer of bad news but didn’t know if you’ve heard. Funny how YOU popped into my head after hearing that as I was driving to work this morning but I know how much you love them. Here’s a link about their latest concert fiasco: http://news.yahoo.com/kings-leon-apologize-concert-fiasco-180448684.html. Great Michigan vacation picks! WE in MI do have strawberry patches!!! Lots of them!!! You must not have come UP far enough!!! 🙂 I picked 3 (not 1, not 2) but 3 flats of strawberries!!! My 2 year old calls them staw*bee*rees! They are so yummy!!! Your blog is so stinking fun! I love it!! 🙂 i’m learning to recognize those whispers. when we live in a relationship with Him it’s so much easier to know. what a blessing! i wish Jeanette the best with her ebook. so great she is sharing her knowledge with others. Love the kitty cat…your family seriously must be a magnet for sweet, precious kitty-cats! 🙂 A great post Megan, I read daily, I comment, um, never. sorry. But today I cried when I read the story about God telling you to say hi to Jeanett today. I love that. Mostly I love how you KNEW God was talking to you. You know what? Most of the time I don’t think I’m listening. Thanks for reminding me to listen! You were definitely too early for Michigan peaches (I’m guessing you were here recently?), and yes, you missed the strawberries (June), but it’s been prime BLUEBERRY season! Raspberries too…cherries if you head north to Traverse City 🙂 God is good in many ways, as seen by both subjects in your post! LOVE the picture of you and Craig. hi Meg, i enjoy reading your posts. i think you are amazing…that fact that you can do so much and still focus on your family is admirable. the love you have of family is very evident in your blogging…i look forward to reading your posts and looking at your pictures…thanks for being real. I call them “God winks!” I love those God moments! When I’ve been telling God what I’m struggling with, but not really expecting a solution right then. And a name comes to me, or an opportunity, or the right thing happens. You just know, God was guiding you. I love peaches! Loved your Michigan 2011…we always find a way to do that on vacations. Meg, you do know about ripening peaches in paper bags, correct? I put 3 or 4 in a lunch size paper bag for a few days. They do ripen and smell wonderful! looks like a fun trip for you all! I will definately check out her book although my blog isnt too high maintenece yet with all 2 of my readers! ha!
he checked on my phone through t-mobile & got all the numbers that had been called since i’d lost it friday night. he is awesome. like….way awesome. so yeah…….i googled magnum pi and there were over a million results for images.
when i look at those pictures i feel like i am 6 years old. but you can’t stop there……i had to YOUTUBE him. and then i found you can find full episodes on hulu from season one! oh my.
how was that for a monday morning post??? there was NO WAY you saw that coming. 🙂
Tom lives near me!!!!! And let me tell you he doesn’t disappoint in real life!! He is yummy. 🙂 I think I’ve only commented on your blog once or twice, but I couldn’t resist commenting on a post about Tom Selleck! I grew up with that mustache! No, Tom Selleck isn’t my dad, but my dad had one just like it. But I think it’s the dimples that make it especially delicious. gosh…don’t you just love awesome husbands? You are so blessed! Never in a bazillion years would I have thought to call through the numbers. So smart! Brave neighbor too. Woot, go Magnum! hahahahahaha! magnum….oh, how my 5-year-old self loved tom selleck and i wanted monica to end up with him so bad on friends! and, wow! that was some amazing detective work! good job hubbie! How cool is that!!! You have an awesome husband i wasn’t ready for that shock. magnum. aw. but, craig? he does sort of rock, doesn’t he? you should fashion him a cape. he’s a SUPERHERO. that would be funny. would he pose for that pic? yeah, i just mustached my whole family on picnik. they didn’t think it was quite as hilarious as i did. Ah…Magnum. Sigh…So happy you found your phone. Amazing. Really amazing… that’s awesome! what a stud!! Your husband rocks! And the neighbor who went after your phone — she rocks too! 🙂 Yay for Craig! That’s awesome! way to go magnum & way to go neighbor…you have some rockstars on your team! woo hoo! okay meg – this shows my “real” age, but i used to watch dear Tom EV.ER.Y. thursday night during my freshman year away at college while my roomie and i did our nails. a huge big family room full of young gals watched him too so i wasn’t the only one drooling. AND i hung his poster above my bed so he was the last thing/ i mean man, that i saw at night. ahhh. . . Glad you got your phone back. I looove Tom Selleck. Me and my friend were the weird 8 yr olds who were in love with him on Magnum PI. Like it was his poster on the wall along with NKOTB. Loved the mustache. Yeah we were weirdos but he was and still is dreamy! Really aging myself but here goes … Oh how I loved Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck still makes my heart go pitter-patter every time I see him! Really aging myself but here goes … Oh how I loved Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck still makes my heart go pitter-patter every time I see him! okay, that is the funniest thing i will see probably all week. that. is. awesome. I want to send that neighbor a thank you gift. AWESOME!!! what does she like? how’s that for doing God’s work. YEAH, your husband! YEAH, Chrissie (her shop is AWESOME!)! And as for the ‘stache. What is REALLY sad – is that it makes me think of my dad – he still sports on of those… oh my word…I laughed out loud at that story. I’m so happy that your phone came home thanks to your SuperSleuth husband. WAY TO GO CRAIG!!! I cannot believe he was able to track down your phone!! That really does make him awesome. btw my dad totally looked like Tom Selleck back in the day. 🙂 Way to go, Detective Craig! That is awesome!!! YOUR HUSBAND ROCKS. the mustache. I met Tom Selleck 20 years ago at the ProAm at Pebble Beach. I got to put a bandaid on his hand. I was twitterpated. He was So Handsome. But I was 20 years younger and pretty cute myself. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. GREAT you found your phone. Last school year an 8th grader walked my classroom after school when my door was open (I teach 6th, so it was just a random drive, I mean, ‘walk-by’) and long story short, I ended up tracking down my phone by having Sprint put a GPS track on it. I found the exact house where it was at, knocked on the door the next day w/my principal next to me and got my phone back. ha ha SUCKA!! and since then I pay $5 a month for contact back up. I wanted to cry when I thought about losing all those numbers! We just did that EXACT SAME THING when our son’s phone got stolen on the last day of school. Except we had to threaten to get the police involved before anyone was motivated to help us. They finally did help, though, and we got the phone back. My son dug in his piggy bank and gave the man a reward. He was glad to get the phone back, but bummed because the people who had it erased everything and he lost all his numbers 🙁 What a guy (your husband) and T.S. isn’t bad either … thanks for the memories! Okay, you are seriously hilarious! I love your posts, they always make me smile. I just know we would be awesome friends in real life! 🙂 Your summer list inpires me each year to make one of our own. It is such a great idea. As always, thanks for all the laughs and the inspiration. Thanks for being awesome! that is so stink’n AWESOME! well done! to.tal.ly.awe.some. That’s amazing about your phone! He’s a keeper! 🙂 Love Magnum too. A channel here still shows it at least once a week, and we end up staying up late to watch it quite often. I just ordered the Isaiah 43 print from Chissie Grace. I had my eye on it a while back when you first posted about her shop on your blog. I’m so glad that it will help Davis and his family! So glad you got your phone back! that is TOO FUNNY about your thief’s neighbor! 😀 loved that story! also, my son’s name is davis. i know he would LOVE to help out a little boy named davis. he just saw a photo on CNN of a boy named davis who lost his home in the joplin tornado & he still brings it up – it really struck a chord. we’ll have to check out the shop together! Love magnum! Your post has made my day:-) my ring tone for a long time was the magnum theme song… it just makes me happy. My dad is still rocking that mustache 🙂 Julie’s story above cracks me up. But it is a little scary. hahah. I LOVE that he tracked down your phone. What a guy. : ) my dad had that mustache!! Way to go Craig!! Love the Summer List, the Pillows, and the BOO/YAY recount! Way to Rock IT OUT girl! omigosh he’s a hero! I think he should hang his shingle right now…you could be his cute assistant…and then Bravo could get wind and you’d have a series 🙂 Want to know some of my childhood trauma? My mom had this Tom Selleck poster http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramaya/2038028172/ in her armoire. Scandalous right? And weird. When I asked who it was, she said “if he shows up at the door I am leaving your dad for him.” I have such a crush on Tom Selleck. Blue Bloods is one of our very favorite shows and he’s amazing in it. Seriously. Sooo glad you got your phone back! 🙂 I wish someone would steal mine. I need a new one. ha. I love this post! Hot. I love Tom Selleck! Did you know he’s on a show on CBS called “Blue Bloods” right now. Well, I guess it might be done for the summer but you can watch episodes on hulu. I love the mustache and the dimples. WoW he does have mad detective skills… I am glad you got your phone back unharmed and lets hope you don’t start getting a bunch of calls from the yahoo who found its friends… hahaha Happy Monday! wow that neighbor sounds awesome! glad she could help and yay for good husbands who save the day. This post is awesome. Seriously, can we be friends in real life? Lol glad you got your phone back 🙂 What a great “Craignum P.I.” you have! Good work, Craig! No man could wear those sexy khaki daisy dukes like Magnum PI. What a yummy way to start a Monday. Thanks That is really awesome-I love it when people have the stones to stand up and go after someone who does wrong. So very cool! Yeah. George’s got nothing on Tom! 🙂 GLORY, what a grand way to start the week! And can I say WOO HOO about HULU! LOVED that show! We keep our phones “locked” with a password to make it more difficult for someone to use if they find it! My husband once found and returned 2 phones in one week. I ordered a print from her site when I saw your first email, and was sad that I wasn’t contributing to the 25% pillow discount, but I couldn’t pass up the print. Now I know it counted towards Reece’s Rainbow, too. Awesome! it’s gotta be that he’s named craig…they make awesome detectives! glad you got your phone back…i would freak if i lost mine! craig in the stash is creeping me out though… 🙂 YAY….What a way to start a Monday! 🙂 Blue Bloods…friday nights…just sayin’! You are so lucky to be married to Magnum’s twin! And he could probably have a full time job as a phone locator p.i.!! So glad you got your phone back…unless you did lose it on purpose. 🙂 I have a laundry list of things that have “gone missing” if you feel like lending him out? No. 1 on the list is the powercord to my computer, that my kids swear “got up and walked away, Mom” Bwahahahahahaa…Magnum. I used to watch that show every day after school when I was little. Good times! ha! That is too funny! Glad you got yoru phone back! Awesome news all around! SO HAPPY you found your phone and about the fundraising, HAPPY MONDAY! ok, that Magnum montage brought back alot of memories! Loooved that show!! The 80’s were totally Awesome! Glad you got your phone back! That mustache on your husband cracked me up!!Funny! Yay! So glad you found your phone : ) That’s great! I got a “lewd” phone call the other day and went totally Magnum on that guy’s butt. Found the “unlisted” number and turned it over to the cops who were looking for him. Felt great! I like to be called Nancy Drew now 🙂 Don’t you love it when your husband turns out to be your hero!!!!! Awww! That is PURE awesomeness! Wowwwee! Go Magnum aka Craig! thats awesome 🙂 MAGNUMnumnumnum!!! um…thank you for buying (pretty much) everything in my shop. there are two matching quilty striped pillows left….and some prints. so again….THANK YOU. now i will ship and ship and ship. PLEASE go and double check that you paid and you completed your payment. now….here is my REAL post. *************************************************************************** my friends kerry & dan have 5 kids of their own and they run a dairy farm. i went to visit this farm in january and it was…..an eye opener. i have seen pigs and horses but never a cow close up. i blame the shoes. but it was fascinating. so when my city friend chicago Jen brought her family to town i knew it was the perfect time! while our men golfed in the ridiculous kansas wind…..we went to the farm with the kids. kerry had warm cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, coffee for jen and i and fresh milk for the kids. scotty was loving on baby kyler…..melts my heart! after our coffee we put on our boots and braved the barn. (excuse me but when did my boys think it was acceptable to grow up and be as tall as me??) aren't we a fabulous farm group?
(kerry…..doesn't jen have the best laugh ever?!)
see how cool it is to live in kansas!? the farm rocked. SUCCESS! there is no one nicer in the world than my friend kerry. kerry has a blog! those are farm words for "get going" 🙂 Hi Tamara,Both Mike and I are well impressed with the couarge you showed by bringing your story into the open. The main theme in your story is your strong will and it shows your journey through life by applying that strong will in different ways. The fact that you have definitely found the way to use it in a very positive way currently, plus that you have the couarge to open up, makes you an only STRONGER and MORE inspirational role model as far as we are concerned!Mike and Saskia Whoops…that’s Annie, isn’t it? Love that photo of Talby getting ready to kiss the cow! Adorable!!! Awww, what a great day. Enjoyed all the pics of the day on the farm. Yes, your boys are getting bigger and bigger…it’s sort of cool and sort of scary, isn’t it? They only grow in one direction, and I’m getting ok with that (no option!) Have a happy Sunday. the 2 right boots for Jenny made me laugh out loud!!!! And then when you posted the group picture I was drawn to Jenny’s feet…and laughed even harder. 🙂 So fun! I agree, though… big cows are a little scary up close. I love a dairy farm. I think dairy farmers are the hardest working farmers out there. Do they sell the milk? Do they make ice cream? I love a dairy farm. I spy an OU shirt! Boomer Sooner!!! I love. Lu-hu-huv Chicago Jenny’s boots. (Are they snow boots?) I hope so. Love love love moo cows – but Jerseys are my favorite! Can you tell I miss our cows?? 🙁 ok ok meg…Im totally convinced….kansas IS cool!!! Okay, when I first read that everyone peeked into the milk tank I thought it said that “everyone peed in the milk tank”! I had to reread that one. 🙂 Looks like fun! ..I guess I should have said does she live close to the town we both live in. I re-read that and it sounded kind of confusing. : ) Does your friend Kerry live close to the same town as we do Megan? I am trying to meet other local mom’s who have home birthed and would love to talk to her if she is willing. You Kansas people are all so fun! I am about to move to CO. Why do Kansas and CO have to be so big?! It would be so fun if we were only an hour or two away and could all play together! Kelly can kerry come to craft day? i wanna nickname too. sweet post. That was so awesome. I love the simple life…for a day or two every now and then. And I loved the snow boots! Kansas is the best! I recently moved away after living there all my life, but I remain very proud to be from there 🙂 Looks like fun times at the farm! What a fun post! I can appreciate the cows. I grew up in the country in a small town in northeast texas. We lived on 28 acres and my granddad kept his cows on our land. It was great for my dad because he never had to worry about mowing the pasture…the cows kept it looking all nice with all their grazing. We had an electric fence to keep them in, but it never failed, one or two would always escape every once in a while. It usually happened when my dad was at work and so mom had to deal with it. I can remember how she (a born and bred big city girl who moved to the country because of my dad)…she would park our big ‘ole 80’s van at the end of the driveway to block the cows from escaping down the oil road and honk the horn to keep them in until my granddad could get out there to chase them back in behind that electric fence. Good memories your post drudged up… what a fun friendship! i’ve always loved visiting farmer friends, such a treat to taste their beautiful lives! thanks for sharing, love all your photos:) what a cool all-american experience! i live overseas and before moving abroad i was a city girl but i am jonesing for the country (hubs grew up on a farm/in a farming family in iowa). yes, it was still fun to try to buy your stuff…better luck next year. 😉 I had a crazy hectic deadline day yesterday and was so sad that I missed out on all of the fun pillows in the shop, but your pictures today cheered me right up! I think it’s just in my blood to love farms. 🙂 Also, I need to know where you got your boots- they’re cute!! work those cowgirl boots, lady! That is SOOOO COOOL MEG! I’m a city girl. Born and raised in the LA area and I want to move to Kansas! I just might be your neighbor one day 🙂 scott holding kyler is one of my faves so far from 2011. he looks so proud and his smile is CHAR-MING! I think that’s one of the cleanest barn floors I’ve ever seen. Always good to expose ourselves to different ways of life….it will amaze us what people do to provide that daily glass of milk or that slice of bread. I miss the wheat fields of Kansas….they are so gorgeous in the summer. The cows made me smile! We had a dairy farm for 10 years. Lots of work! I used to be in charge of feeding the calves, until the boys got big enough to do it! Then I would go work with my Mom and sister at our flower shop. That smelled a lot better!:) We live in a town with lots of dairy farms, so we’ll be driving along and my daughter will go “ew, what’s that smell?!” Then I have to remind her that she used to live on a farm! We moved when she was 2 so she doesn’t remember it at all. Dairy farmers are special people-always on call! now THAT is country living! That tree house is amazing! My boys wouldn’t even know where to begin doing something like that. Very cool! Wow what an amazing experience…those cows are HUGE! I LOVE Kerry!! (Although, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen her, I’m not sure she’d remember be any more!) Excited to start reading her blog. I watched Footloose for the very first time at her house while hanging out with her sister Jenny & friend Kristy as they got ready for Berean’s Jr./Sr. Banquet WAY back in high school. (Fitting, eh?) Needless to say, we had a bit of fun! I’m sitting at the salon under the dryer that magically makes me a blonde. I just laughed out loud at your comment about wearing cloth leopard shoes. People are staring, but I’m just gonna keep on enjoying my day with no kids, my starbucks, a new haircut, and your hilariousness. Thanks Meg! Yes, it is AWESOME to live in Kansas! I’ve lived here all my life, both in Kansas City & in a small town called Basehor (about 30 min. east of Lawrence). My dad has 60 acres, a barn, cows, 4-wheelers. The whole she-bang. (Did I just say she-bang??). And he lives on a gravel road with rusty, dusty pick-up trucks. The midwest is awesome. Did you let the cows lick you? They have seriously thick & scratchy tongues! And if you ever get a chance, you should definitely take your kids to Shatto milk farm (an hour outside KC) where they produce the hugely popular organic milk (you even get to sample the root beer, orangesicle & coffee flavors!). Also visit Deanna Rose Farmstead (in S Overland Park), it’s free even! Ya know, just come up for Worlds of Fun & make a weekend (or week!) of it. & feel free to take my family’s pics while you’re in town . . . just sayin.’ We had milk goats when I was growing up. When I went to Ohio State Univ., I worked at their dairy farm. It took me awhile to get used to how BIG the cows are! But milk cows are pretty complacent – until they come into heat! The OSU dairy had Jersey cows too. They were the best! More personality and beautiful big brown eyes. I had to start work at 4:30 am…but got to watch the sun rise over downtown Columbus. (Also, could fit in the classes I needed but that is besides the point.) I hope Talby hasn’t taken over the starring role in let’s find the teenager. Looks like great fun! Your family is so blessed! Love these pix, looks like you guys had a good time. I love how fierce Annie looks in the group shot…lol wow..look at the size of the cows head compared to yours!! I loved this post! I am from a small town and my uncle was a diary farmer! It’s awesome your kids get to experience that when so many don’t anymore! You.are.brave. ha! i’m diggin’ chicago jen’s boots in that group pic! Very cool! We went to friend’s dad’s farm where he still HAND MILKS one of his cows twice a day! My girls got to milk the cow! My 6 yo can seriously squeeze some udders! Did you try any FRESH milk? It’s hot. Like steamin’ hot. Would’ve been OK with some Hershey’s, without – not so much! Livin’ in Kansas can totally rock, when you know some cows, that is. 🙂 Looks like you showed Chicago Jen a boot scootin’ good time! I remember my Dad doing the same thing with me and a loader when we lived on the farm! Oh, the memories!!! There’s nothing better than those huge calf eyes and the smell of milk replacer (yes, even with the slime!). 🙂 Cool farm! I love the fact she had the milkman’s kids…ha! The cows are huge. And I love the tree house. 🙂 if you think dairy cows here are huge…you should see them in holland. they were like giants there and SO beautiful! 🙂 Cows ARE huge. When we moved out to the ranch it was amazing to me how big they are. Huge and gentle, it’s amazing. Glad you and the kids were able to experience that. I think that’s really important for kids to see were our food comes from. What great friends you’ve got! Things I would have wanted to ask…is this skim milk?…is it pasturized?…..where are the cows that make chocolate milk? that looks like a lot of fun for sure! Yum! farm fresh milk…that’s all we drink here. glad you had a good time experiencing the farm life! Tractor rides … how fun was that? Looked like lots to me! Thanks for sharing your eclectic adventures ‘Megs’ — I love it! Have a great day! Tractor rides … how fun was that? Looked like lots to me! Thanks for sharing your eclectic adventures ‘Megs’ — I love it! Have a great day! Awwww i love cows!!! there so cute! Thanks for the morning chuckle!!! I especially love the photo of you all fitting in so well!!! And Annie kissing the cow is just the best!!! raw milk! Meg that looks so fun!! Your kids are real lucky to have you 🙂 on friday my three youngest came out of school with reading reward coupons for free ice cream cones. talby pulled out her brand new book that was published from her ELP group.
i swooned over it. it was adorable. i don’t know what this was about…..i can’t recall….but annie made this face twice in ten seconds.
we hit the park. and it was still so nice friday night that we had a campfire in the back yard! today….it hailed, sleeted and snowed.
so….this week: i really want to get my shop opened! wish me luck. before i die in a freak pillow collapsing accident in the craft room….. natalie is on my lap looking at this post with me and she just said, “whoa mommy. a huge stack of pillows!” 🙂 where do you buy your fabric? OMG…pillow love here!!! Apparently I am living under a rock, I missed the hoodie pic…wonder if you’ll have it in size 7/8?? Or a 10 even… it would be sooooo much fun to fill a fort with those piles of pillows and sit down to a good story. I love that sneaker shot! popped over her via marta writes, and now i don’t want to leave! I pray that all those pillows fall onto my couch ! and I totally cant wait to see more of your little hoodies. I am really. really. really. excited about the rainbow hoodies. Keeping my fingers crossed for a 3 T! OMGosh…my children and I say, “lovel” too! :o) I am a lurker on your blog. I feel bad because I should have let you know my feelings about your blog by now. I ADORE your blog, and it soothes my soul and warms my heart. I have been lurking for about a year and should have already told you what gift you give me on a daily basis. The thing I love the most about it is how you remind me to appreciate the little things in life and to cherish my children (just as I am ready to wring their little necks! LOL) So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! 🙂 My daughter definately NEEDS a rainbow hoodie! Can’t wait! You know that front stack of pillows? The 8th one up from the bottom. That’s the one I want. 🙂 lol Love that Lisa necklace…I have a giftcard to her shop & can’t decide what to get! eek! Open that shop already! I NEED one of those pillows! Stat! 🙂 Are you making Rainbow hoodies in baby/toddler sizes too?? (pretty please??)From the response to them I think you need to make 50 more!! Did you go to a trunk party for Matilda Jane or did you just order the stuff through someone? I love their skirts and dresses but Im afraid to buy something only to find out I need a smaller or larger size…I just LOVE Annie’s dress! so excited for your shop to open. i am going to try to buy a bunting if they don’t sell out first. Oh my heavens! You are so talented! I have got to get a rainbow hoodie for my twin girls to share…or maybe they each need their own! Lovely things! I live in Ethiopia and am always worried I will miss the “opening” … so glad you will give us some warning. Look forward to snatching up some of those lovely pillows and hoodies for my girls. God bless 🙂 Hurry up and open the shop!!! I am dying over here with all of them “pillow eye candies” soooo… like loving them pillows!!! Let us all know when…PLEASE!!!! Every time I see these pillows, I get so excited. I can’t wait till your shop opens. Those Published books are awesome. As a retired(decided to stay at home with my baby) teacher, I cannot even begin to tell you how long it takes to make those books. All the time and effort that goes into them is well worth it. I used to be exhausted at the end of the day when I would help my students with them. But then, I would just get soooo excited when the published books came in and I couldn’t wait to open them. My students loved sharing them with the other students. My older daughters still look back and giggle what they wrote and drew in the books. Great keepsake:) i really think your pictures are more crisp looking since you went to that blue lily thing, what’s your secret? I can’t wait for the shop to open. I have been desperately needing some new sofa pillows but I have been holding out cause I want some from you! Everytime you post a pic of the pillows I pick out the ones I want:) Who knew that an enormous pile of pillows could put a big ol’ smile on my face?! Love those little books….I had the pleasure of putting them together for my daughter’s 1st grade class…and must confess, I spent a few too many minutes reading all of the books 😛 Looking forward to seeing your lovelies in your shop! By the way, I’m going to BlogSugar and I’m so so excited to meet you. I feel like laying down in the pile of pillows. Looks so peaceful. Are you going to have the Hungry Caterpillar pillow like you did last year? Sophie and I love that story! Everybody better leave me some pillows to buy in your shop, Oh and I want a sweatshirt too! Can’t wait to see all the goodies 🙂 A freak pillow collapsing accident? Well, let me help by taking some of those pillows off your hands! The sleety-snow thing was weird. Glad it didn’t stick around. Great, colorful pictures on such a gloomy day! can’t wait for your “shop” to open. also, so wishing my girls could pull off the matilda jane look. think they are too old or too finicky! lord knows they could use some new clothes…you should have seen what #4 wore today!! Love that Talbly has her own book. Is that wonderful or what? By the way Talby, goofy faces rock. Love the pillows Meg. Good luck on opening this week. ooh can’t wait for the shop opening! Dying for a rainbow hoody. Love love love that necklace! Very simple but lovely! I was so worried yesterday while we were coming home from camping that you could have possibly opened up your shop and I would miss out on a hoodie! Gald to know you will be giving us lots of notice! I think I see a pillow in there I might have to have also. hoodies….are they for adults??? 🙂 hope so… 🙂 annie makes the best faces….i’m willing to bet big money that surprise ice cream had a little to do with that. i blame you for my sudden need to fill my artsy/fartsy space with pom-pom ric-rac….don’t worry i’ve already forgiven you:) love when my kid’s wrote book in and out of school. talby’s vacation to michigan? if i had known i’d have baked a cake. or something. 🙂 As we just moved my youngest DD into her own room and will soon be painting her walls just like your girls”(she keeps telling me, “mommy..I want THAT pink room”) I will also be needing a heart pillow. And Im already wanting a rainbow hoodie. I cant wait…. ummmm, i hope the hoodies come in adult sizes. 😀 I’ve been checking like crazy, so glad we are going to get a heads up:). Still hope I am quick enough! London wanted to know if those were Annie’s “lucky tights” Like Olivia (the pig) because she also has a pair of striped tights i love the foot shot of annie’s cute shoe. so fun! I’m sure you probably got 80 million e-mails about this already, but in case you didn’t: you were featured in my babytalk magazine as a top mom blogger! They did a little blurb about you with a link to your site. Congratulations! are you going to post a bit of advance notice when the shop will be open? i would love a rainbow hoodie and am worried everything will be sold out before i can access your shop. thanks!! gorgeous pillows by the way! I love them pillows!!!! I don’t dare buy one as my dogs are partial to the odd pillow…. Ill be eager to check your other stuff though 🙂 🙂 I know which pillow I want and I hope & pray that I get to it first because I know many others will want it too. yay for more rainbow hoodies! I want those pillows! 🙂 The weather looked fantastic, we are still dreary and snowy-I’m hoping spring is right around the corner! I love Talby’s book, QB’s class did that this year too. A pillow avalanche would be….colorful! Can’t wait for the shop opening. I have been checking your blog everyday for the announcement of your shop opening…I had to giggle when I read that line that said do not worry, there will be no surprise openings. . .it was like you were reading my mind. 🙂 rainbow hoodie! and love that book by talby…so cute! Talby’s real, live, actual book? AWESOME! What a cool memento to have!! Is it sad that I will contemplate sitting up in the middle of the night here in Australia to try and snag a rainbow hoodie? OK, don’t answer that. I know it is sad. But a girl has got to do what she had to do in search of rainbows doesn’t she??? swooning over your pillows! i absolutely have to buy one <3 Lovely pillows !!! Such a pretty stack of pillows! I MUST HAVE THAT HEART PILLOW!!! SOOO CUTE! You must know I am serious about that because I am on my phone and had to make all those caps individually! Can’t wait for your opening. 🙂
