a kitten and peaches and an {e}book

what a weird title.  

we almost always go peach picking when we are in michigan.
it's something to do that is good for all ages.

as soon as the kids got out of the car they saw this kitten.
and they all mobbed it.
it never touched the ground until we left.

we went out in the HOT sun and picked a basket of peaches.
with the kitten.
and a dog followed us too.

but we found a few in there that were ready.

it was really hot.
too hot to be there i think.
so annie was out of sorts…..and wanted more turns with that silly kitten.

gosh darn it i like that guy a whole bunch!

dave filled a basket of the peaches already on the ground (ruined ones) and made our michigan sign.
🙂
he is pretty creative.
 
and then everyone got to throw them back into the orchard.

we took home all the peaches we picked….with grand intentions as always.
but nothing was baked with the peaches.
they just weren't ripe enough.

i don't even like peaches.
i don't hate them but i am not going to just bite into one!
i wish there were strawberry patches.
or it was pumpkin picking weather.
those are two things i like to pick.  :)

and after this jenny and i got to go out for lunch just the mommies!!!
it was wonderful.
(possibly the highlight of the trip for me…..i love lunching with my friends….and getting a crisp cold salad and eating outside by a beach….and getting amazingly yummy brushetta as an appetizer….without our conversation interrupted once with the words "hey MOM?!!" )

 
………………………………………… 

COOL STORY here:
yesterday….i was blow drying my hair and my blog friend Jeannett popped into my mind.
i shot her a quick email saying hello and that i was thinking of her.
she told me that she wrote an {e}book.
and i thought "oh that's nice" and "too bad i don't read books"   (ha….seriously)

then later that evening after a day of throwing around a lot of frustration and thoughts i have been having
about the businesses that i have….balancing this home life with all these kids…..taking care of this house…..
wanting 20 more hours in a day…..missing my sewing machine…..looming work deadlines……

i checked her blog to support her in the {e}book.
i was shocked.
can you guess what it was about????

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?

Do you love the community created through Social Media,
but you don't know how much longer you can keep up?

Or are you handling it all pretty well, but there are just a few things that you really cannot stand to do? 

check.
check.
check.

i bought it immediately.
why had i never thought to ask jeannett about this stuff?
she is experienced.  she knows!  
maybe you are having the same questions/frustrations…..maybe you are curious…maybe you want to be hired?
Click here to visit Hire Blog Help.

i love that she did it.
that she put herself out there and used her experience to help other people freaking out like me.

i told her that God knew i was struggling….i was telling him constantly…so He told me "say hi to jeannett today"
while i blow dried my hair.
and i did.
and she was there for me….thanks jeannett……thanks God!!!
you are awesome.

Renae - 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.

michelle - 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!

Tracy Fisher - 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.
yum! tracy fisher

deborah@applesinwonderland - 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. 🙂

Laura Phelps - 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…
do you know anybody with THAT book?
maybe I should go blow dry my hair….
xo

alicia @ la famille - so cool how God works 🙂 will have to check that book out!

Astrid - 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. 🙂

amanda - 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!)

Jill - 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?!
Jill J.

Amy Slavik@ Little For A Little While - 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!

Sharon Kindall - 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!

Jill @ Cora Anne Designs - Definitely try blueberries, raspberries or cherries next time you’re in Michigan – they’re all perfect right now! (strawberries are in June!)

Heather - 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.

Kelly - God is amazing! I love the way He does stuff. Wow.
I love the pic of you and Craig!
The Michigan 2011 shot is super fun.
Wish those peaches had been ripe. I do love a good, soft, juicy, ripe peach!
Pumpkin picking weather! That makes me so excited just thinking about it. Kelly

Janet - Meg,
I noticed a picture of Talby about a year ago, how ‘naturally’ beautiful she is. The one in this post of her holding the kitten, well all I can say is she is gorgeous. She has such natural beauty. From what I’ve read on your blog, it’s inside and out.
Janet

Kimberly Dial - 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 ….?

Kimberly Dial - 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 ….?

Jessica Johnson - 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.

Heather aka moreygirl - 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!
Heather

Susan - 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! 🙂

Toni :O) - 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.
Hope you have a blessed day and I heart your blog…SO much!

Stephanie - 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!!!

Jodi - Your blog is so stinking fun! I love it!! 🙂
Curious if you could share what lens you use for your camera just for general purpose? I am looking at getting a new one, and love your pics! I use a 50mm and love it!

Amanda - 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.
my hubby has been unemployed for 6 months. our third lay off since 2008 🙁 i sew and blog. hoping this isn’t too forward of me to ask…if i can help you with your businesses in any way, i’d love to!!

Jennifer - Love the kitty cat…your family seriously must be a magnet for sweet, precious kitty-cats! 🙂
What a tender mercy from the Lord you had about your friend, Jeannette, and being inspired to reach out to her. And even better, how wonderful that you acted on that prompting. Sometimes I am guilty of not acting on those promptings. I love when little blessings come to us from above when we stop, listen and heed the inspiration God is sending to our hearts and minds. Such a neat story–thanks for sharing, Meg.

Dana @ Bungalow'56 - A great post Megan,
I call those God nudging moments, the little miracles he provides on us a daily basis. Some we are aware of, some not as much. I used to keep a small miracles book beside my bed. This post is making me think I should start it up again.
Thanks,
Dana

Michele - 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!

nicki - 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!

Jen Brandt - LOVE the picture of you and Craig.

Maggie Nunez - 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.

Susan Ponder - I call them “God winks!”

Judy @Considering the Options - 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.
It probably happens 20 times more than I realize, I’m just grateful I actually notice it now and then! God is Good! All the Time!

Terrie - I love peaches! Loved your Michigan 2011…we always find a way to do that on vacations.
Don’t you just love how God gets our attention…and some of the crazy times He does it? If only I would listen to those nudges more often..or maybe if I should say, if only I would act on them more often.
HaPpy TuEsDaY!!
PS…any cooler in your area yet? Not here! 🙁

Kirsten P - 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!

Holly - 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 could quit his day job…..

IMG_3739-1
let's just call him Magnum P.I. from now on.

he checked on my phone through t-mobile & got all the numbers that had been called since i'd lost it friday night.
i had lost my phone 30 minutes away from home.
he called them.
he got names and figured out who took it and was using it.
and then talked to the thief's neighbor!
she said "what?! that is terrible!  i will go and get it for you! that is AWFUL!"  
and she called back with my phone.
Magnum drove to her house and picked it up and surprised me with it.
we are sending the neighbor a thank you gift! 

he is awesome.

like….way awesome.
thanks MAG.

so yeah…….i googled magnum pi and there were over a million results for images.
a million!?!
that is pretty crazy.
and worthy of a picnik collage don't you think?? 

Magnumus
come on….you know you want THAT on your pinterest!

when i look at those pictures i feel like i am 6 years old.
my uncle had that mustache….my parent's friends had those….everyone!
can't you hear his voice in your head????  smoldery tom selleck…..mmmmm. 

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???

🙂

Dianne Avery - Tom lives near me!!!!! And let me tell you he doesn’t disappoint in real life!! He is yummy. 🙂

angie - 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.
So glad you found your phone! Your hubby is quite the sleuth!

jessicakiehn - gosh…don’t you just love awesome husbands? You are so blessed!

Kristin S - Never in a bazillion years would I have thought to call through the numbers. So smart! Brave neighbor too.

Aimee - Woot, go Magnum!
Speaking of, have you seen Waterfall-Selleck-Sandwich? I know I got the order wrong, but it’s too much trouble to retype it.
http://selleckwaterfallsandwich.tumblr.com/
Fun. 😉

megan - 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!
blessings to you this day, meg…
megan

Courtney McIlwain - How cool is that!!! You have an awesome husband

deborah@applesinwonderland - 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.

elz - Ah…Magnum. Sigh…So happy you found your phone.

amber - Amazing. Really amazing…

alicia @ la famille - that’s awesome! what a stud!!

Talia - Your husband rocks! And the neighbor who went after your phone — she rocks too! 🙂

Amy Lynne - Yay for Craig! That’s awesome!

jodi @ back40life - way to go magnum & way to go neighbor…you have some rockstars on your team! woo hoo!

kristen b - 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. . .
i’m thrilled to know who i can call in the future for my local detective work!

Janine - 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!
Oh and those pillows are amazing. I may be ordering 2 for upcoming Christenings. I think they will make a great gift for the girls.

Kimberly Dial - 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!

Kimberly Dial - 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!

jen - okay, that is the funniest thing i will see probably all week.
i have more of the western movies crush on him.
but your hubby rocks as does the neighbor.
that’s absolutely AWESOME!!
but the moustache, it does kind of creep me out a little, there’s too much of it!

rachel - that. is. awesome.

Tiffany - I want to send that neighbor a thank you gift. AWESOME!!! what does she like? how’s that for doing God’s work.

Kate - 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…

Chrissie Grace - oh my word…I laughed out loud at that story.
I’m not much of a mustache person…

Michelle from Australia - I’m so happy that your phone came home thanks to your SuperSleuth husband. WAY TO GO CRAIG!!!

Lisa - 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. 🙂

Kacey - Way to go, Detective Craig! That is awesome!!!

happygirl - 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.

Cindy - 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!

jenni@talkinghairdryer - 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 🙁

dotsie (aka podso) - What a guy (your husband) and T.S. isn’t bad either … thanks for the memories!

kat - 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!

heidi @ wonder woman wannabe - that is so stink’n AWESOME! well done!
no lie, my hubby and i were just talking last week about how fun it would be to have the Magnum P.I. intro as a ring tone.
i think mr. duerksen must absolutely have it! ha! 🙂

miss lynn - to.tal.ly.awe.some.
what a man!!!!

Jenny B. - 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!

Angel/TaDa!Creations - So glad you got your phone back!
I hear Magnum too. We own seasons 1 and 2 and can’t wait to buy the rest. *sigh*

rachel / cr.e.at.e - 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!

sam - Love magnum! Your post has made my day:-)
Glad you’ve been reunited with your phone – clever husband!!

Jennnifer - 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.

stephanie - I LOVE that he tracked down your phone. What a guy. : )
And, I have bookmarked those pillows – I can’t afford them now, but I would LOVE to have one for each of my kids. Someday.

alyssa - my dad had that mustache!!

Kim Barlow - Way to go Craig!! Love the Summer List, the Pillows, and the BOO/YAY recount! Way to Rock IT OUT girl!

Kirsten J - 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 🙂

Julie - 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.”
WHO SAYS THAT TO A KID????? Because believe you me, every time the doorbell rang, I was afraid that it was mustache man coming to take my mom away.
Thanks a lot Magnum.

Courtney Walsh - 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.

Debbie - I love this post! Hot.
And I love those pillows!

Cathy - 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.

jen - 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!

melanie - wow that neighbor sounds awesome! glad she could help and yay for good husbands who save the day.

BriBedell - This post is awesome. Seriously, can we be friends in real life? Lol glad you got your phone back 🙂

Karen Gerstenberger - What a great “Craignum P.I.” you have! Good work, Craig!
I loved that show…had a BIG crush on Tom Selleck. I was a very serious student in college, but during my senior year, we used to start the weekend early by watching “Magnum” on Thursday nights! Woohoo! Getting pretty wild there! =) – I am wilder now (in my 50s) than I was then. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, and the eye-candy! That guy STILL looks great.

Necole - No man could wear those sexy khaki daisy dukes like Magnum PI. What a yummy way to start a Monday. Thanks

Jennifer - 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!

Jennifer - Yeah. George’s got nothing on Tom! 🙂
SO glad that your own personal Magnum got your phone back for you. That totally ROCKS!
And I’m thinking Magnum P.I. might be the show we watch for the summer with our two older boys. Too fun!

pam - GLORY, what a grand way to start the week! And can I say WOO HOO about HULU! LOVED that show!

Lorilee - 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.
Blessings,
Lorilee

robin - 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!

amy d - 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… 🙂

Linda - YAY….What a way to start a Monday! 🙂

Terrie G - 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. 🙂

Siobhan aka Kiwivandal - 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”

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Bwahahahahahaa…Magnum. I used to watch that show every day after school when I was little. Good times!
I just may have to ask for Craig’s John Hancock if I ever meet him in person. Afterall, hes a total hero. Ive lost different cell phones three different times. And I feel like Im missing one of my kids when I do. Glad yours is back. Poo poo on the person who stole it. YAY for the awesome neighbor who retrieved it:)

Holly - ha! That is too funny! Glad you got yoru phone back!

Chelsea - Awesome news all around! SO HAPPY you found your phone and about the fundraising, HAPPY MONDAY!

amy b. - 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!

Gemma @ Musings of a gem - Yay! So glad you found your phone : )
What a hero !
Gemma x

Courtney - 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 🙂

Niki - Don’t you love it when your husband turns out to be your hero!!!!! Awww! That is PURE awesomeness!

Kerry - Wowwwee! Go Magnum aka Craig! thats awesome 🙂

   i love the yellow stripe with the pinks, browns and orange!

IMG_1743-6
 
she puts THE cutest fabrics together.
i love it all.

it's the perfect size to hold the stuff you need and a few extras.
you could fit a magazine in there too….your ipad….it's a great size.

IMG_1735-3
 
but here is the BEST PART for me…….
i am going to make it my camera bag for the season!

since it's got the sling strap i can use during my shoots for all my camera junk. 
and wear it while i shoot!

it's perfect!

there are a few pockets that will fit my lens cap, my phone, some extras and my gum (very important to me)

(i actually wrote guN at first….HA HA HA….lindsey even has a pocket for my gun….ha ….a gun purse)

IMG_1737-4
 
the pleated poppy has great gifts for teachers….
do you only have 9 days left like we do??
i betcha….there is time for something cute if you ordered today!

look at all these fun finds over at her shop! 

Pleatedpoppy

there is so much to choose from!

i know that the bloom bags like mine have been really popular
and lindsey is having a hard time keeping them stocked in her shop because they sell out so quickly.
you will have to keep checking on her for more.

but with how much she has in her shop right now i think you will be happy you went.

——–she is offering 15% off when you use the code WHATEVER until may 20————

and just for fun…..lets have a GIVEAWAY!

I DECIDED AT THE END OF A VERY LONG WINTER HERE IN MAINE, THAT MY SUMMER WEEKENDS WOULD HAVE NO COMMITMENTS OR CLEANING UNLESS I REALLY FELT LIKE IT. IF IT BROUGHT ME JOY, BECAUSE SOMETIMES CLEANING CAN, THEN I WOULD DO IT. NO PARTIES, SHOWERS, (BABY OR BRIDAL), JUST RELAXING WITH BLUE EYES AND BEING FREE TO DO FUN THINGS. GO FOR A WALK, READ A GOOD BOOK, FLOAT IN THE LAKE FOR THE DAY… JUST BE.
HUGS FROM MY HEART.

For the rest of the weekend, I’m spending as much time with him as I can before he goes home (to MS) for the summer 🙁 This time next year though, we’ll be married, and I won’t have to be apart from him! Hope you have a great weekend Meg!!

Today is better. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck..but it is better. Isn’t it funny how sometimes our plans don’t work out. Well…if no one else gets sick…it was worth it. And just being able to check in with you and see that cute bag made me smile. Thanks.

spring break 11

um…thank you for buying (pretty much) everything in my shop.
you ladies are UNBELIEVABLE.
i love you.
i'm sorry for you that there were only so many of each thing and it went so fast.
i'm sorry that it gets crazy.
but it's fun too isn't it?  like black friday without the uncomfortable eye contact.

there are two matching quilty striped pillows left….and some prints.
i restocked the prints a bunch of times yesterday.
the two pillows are really cute….i was surprised they were left.
i think they are perfect for a boys room….blues, greens and browns.

so again….THANK YOU.
it was really fun to watch it all disappear!

now i will ship and ship and ship.

PLEASE go and double check that you paid and you completed your payment.
it's a bummer for me to have to track you down later.
thanks.

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.
not like this.
and i was not prepared.
i thought we were going out there for dinner.
i had no idea we'd go into the barn to touch the cows and be all up in their space.
i was wearing cloth leopard shoes.
i think it's safe to say i may have been the dorkiest person they have had out at the farm yet.
i tried to walk into the barn a bit and see the baby cow but i was so squeemish that i chickened out.

i blame the shoes.

but it was fascinating.
i said "i will be back…with my camera…..and my cowgirl boots….this MUST be on the blog!"

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.

IMG_9788-16

kerry had warm cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, coffee for jen and i and fresh milk for the kids.
it was an all american scene.
my kids were loving every second!

IMG_9808-18

scotty was loving on baby kyler…..melts my heart!
kyler is so darn cute!  
i got to be at her birth…a home birth….it was so cool. 
annie loves to watch kyler's every move.
i like to cuddle her when she is sleeping.  :)

IMG_9821-19 IMG_9826-20

after our coffee we put on our boots and braved the barn.
poor jenny….we don't have the same size feet so she couldn't wear my extra boots.
i gave her some of our snow boots.
when we got out to the farm we realized they were both right feet!
she did just fine in her two right boots.  HA!
it was very funny.

IMG_9865-24
i wasn't nervous….but i was being…..cautious.
i am such a baby.

IMG_9851-21
everyone peeked into the milk tank.
it was ALOT of milk.

IMG_9854-22

 
no fear from the kids though….kisses for cows?  well of course!

IMG_9868-25

IMG_9873-26
we got to bottle feed a one week old calf.
seriously….i could have picked her up and taken her home.
if only they stayed that size.
it was SO ADORABLE!
except for all the snot…..that was a little gross.

IMG_9893-32 IMG_9904-1

IMG_9875-28

IMG_9883-30 IMG_9856-23
 
IMG_9908-33
oh how i love this kid.
he is just enough to make me crazy but when he is having a good day it's a great day for all of us.
and THIS was a great day.
i was so happy he was with us.

(excuse me but when did my boys think it was acceptable to grow up and be as tall as me??)
IMG_9912-34

aren't we a fabulous farm group?
we fit right in.
don't look out of place one bit.
ha.

IMG_9961-39
dairy cows are HUGE.
i couldn't get over how big they were……GiNORMOUS.

IMG_9887-31

IMG_9951-38
our gracious hosts.
seriously…..dan & kerry you were so good to us.
you spoiled us.
thank you thank you thank you.
sorry i was spazzy to the kids about the rules before we went in the barn.
i just wanted them to be good.
i am sure it was the joke of the day for you.  :)
i live to entertain. 

IMG_9924-36
and just when the kids thought it couldn't get any better……TRACTOR RIDES!!!
it just went up and down but it was better than an amusement park for sure.

IMG_9941-37
i love when my kansas friends get to meet my jenny!!

(kerry…..doesn't jen have the best laugh ever?!)

IMG_9976-40
kerry's 10 year old son built this tree house.
by himself.
he is 100 times cooler than ty pennington in my opinion.

see how cool it is to live in kansas!?

the farm rocked.
i loved it.
jen loved it.
the kids loved it.

SUCCESS!

there is no one nicer in the world than my friend kerry.
she calls me Megs.
when i tell annie we are going to see her she says "which kerry?"
i answer "annie poo-pie kerry" because that is annie's nickname from Kerry.
and annie gets so excited!

kerry has a blog!
i want you all to mozy on over and give her some love right now!
scoot.
skeedaddle.

those are farm words for "get going"

🙂

Mrinal - 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

Trysha - Whoops…that’s Annie, isn’t it?

Trysha - Love that photo of Talby getting ready to kiss the cow! Adorable!!!

Carol S - 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.

Jenna Mitchell - 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. 🙂

Jenny B. - So fun! I agree, though… big cows are a little scary up close.

happygirl - 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.

EllenVR - I spy an OU shirt! Boomer Sooner!!!

Flower Patch Farmgirl - I love. Lu-hu-huv Chicago Jenny’s boots. (Are they snow boots?) I hope so.

Tiffany @ The Domestic Fox - Love love love moo cows – but Jerseys are my favorite! Can you tell I miss our cows?? 🙁

april - ok ok meg…Im totally convinced….kansas IS cool!!!
april from california

Katy - 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!

Amy - ..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. : )

Amy - 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.

Kelly - 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

tiffany - can kerry come to craft day? i wanna nickname too. sweet post.

Tracy Fisher - That was so awesome. I love the simple life…for a day or two every now and then. And I loved the snow boots!
Tracy

Jenna - 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!

Jennifer - 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…
Last thought…love your hair, Meg!! It makes me want to cut mine short again. 🙂

hannah - 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:)

Erin - 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. 😉

Heather - 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!!

sarah - work those cowgirl boots, lady!

Valerie@Chateaualamode.typepad.com - 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 🙂

kristine - scott holding kyler is one of my faves so far from 2011. he looks so proud and his smile is CHAR-MING!
that tractor ride is AWESOME and the tree house!??!?! holy cow! he could grow up and have his own show like ty! 🙂
so bummed to miss out on a hoodie yesterday. by the time i’d click to see what size the listing was and have to click back, they’d be gone. i’m SO proud of you. what did craig say!?

pam - 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.

Vonda - 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!

virginia - now THAT is country living!
the tractor ride picture is so cool, i like all that it conveys

Jennifer - That tree house is amazing! My boys wouldn’t even know where to begin doing something like that. Very cool!

Gemma @ Musings of a gem - Wow what an amazing experience…those cows are HUGE!
Gemma x

Lori Danelle - 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!
And I love being from KS. DEFINITELY NOT a country girl, but I do love the country. I got to experience the best of both—not that Wichita was exactly a booming city when I was growing up, but I suppose it sort of counts. 🙂 One weekend we’d be running around Wichita doing whatever crazy teenagers do, and the next we’d be roasting marshmallows over a fire in the middle of a field and playing hide-and-go-seek amongst the hay bales.
LOVE it.

Jennie brewer - 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!

Amy T-Y - 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.’

Andrea - 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.)

Sandy - 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!

Christy - Love these pix, looks like you guys had a good time. I love how fierce Annie looks in the group shot…lol

karen - wow..look at the size of the cows head compared to yours!!
That looked like so much fun! My 3 year old son would have loved that tractor ride…now that’s a tractor ride!!

Samantha - 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!

Jodi - You.are.brave.
I grew up with cows all around me and never have I ever petted one (unless they were in the stall about to get their meds and they couldn’t go anywhere)… I was always too nervous around them…
then again, my granddaddy raised his for meat… not milk… so maybe milk cows are happier??
looks like a wonderful day was had by all!

steph - ha! i’m diggin’ chicago jen’s boots in that group pic!
LOL! that is awesome!
and i love the pic of the kids on the tractor.
so fun and cool!
FWIW, i would have been kinda nervous around the cows too.
i’m pretty freaked of larger animals.
scared they’d bite my finger off or something. ewww!
glad you guys had a great time!
are you convincing jen to move to kansas yet?!?!?!? 😉

Heather - 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!

shelly - 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!). 🙂

Heather R. - Cool farm! I love the fact she had the milkman’s kids…ha! The cows are huge. And I love the tree house. 🙂

crystal - if you think dairy cows here are huge…you should see them in holland. they were like giants there and SO beautiful! 🙂

Jemm - 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!

julia - Things I would have wanted to ask…is this skim milk?…is it pasturized?…..where are the cows that make chocolate milk?
Love the poses of the little girls in the group picture!

Holly - that looks like a lot of fun for sure!

Sarah@this farm family's life - Yum! farm fresh milk…that’s all we drink here. glad you had a good time experiencing the farm life!

Kimberly Dial - 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!

amy - I can remember making sewing projects with my grandmother when I was little. My favorite was a toothfairy pillow, (that I still have and will pass down to my daughter when she loses her first tooth.) There would be times I would sit and just watch her sew, it came so naturally to her. When my grandmother passed away, my mother asked me if there was anything I wanted out of her house, the first thing I thought was her sewing machine and table. I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to start making little sewing projects with her. I can’t wait, to share my stories about my grandmother with her and make new memories!
