They brighten up the whole home! Well done, Newman children + Mama.<br /><br />Adele's romper is <i>just</i> ruffly enough. Perfect! Everything turned out so nicely, AND you had hours to spare. In my book, that's a near miraculous event. And, now, time for a breather? Ha! Who am I kidding? ;)<br /><br />(And now I want lemon meringue pie. All it took was one brief mention, and boom!)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-32905565233702031702017-08-01T18:54:31.691-05:002017-08-01T18:54:31.691-05:00Yay! A smashing success as all your parties are, d...Yay! A smashing success as all your parties are, dear Rebecca! :) :D Of course, I don't see the inevitable moments of spills, etc - that first photo of Hopestead behind the bee balm? was just GORGEOUSNESS! <br /><br />I came over to answer your question regarding my excessive reading, LOL! ;) I *CAN* read with children around and do...I read while cooking (no joke), in the bathroom, sitting around,while riding with Amos, in a box, and with a fox. ;) So, I get a lot done in the little snatches of times of the day. <br /><br />The other very obvious reason to me ;), is that I'm not homesteading like you!!!!!!! You are canning, sewing, freezing, gardening, photo editing etc etc etc into infinity. ;) In that time, I'm reading. LOL! It's kind of my only hobby/thing I do beside relationships with God, Amos, and the children, and homeschooling. I sort of put a hold on some of the things I enjoy to invest in the homeschooling, we still do all those things, but just occasionally, not really living a lifestyle of it. So I think it's just a matter of perspective...I have friends who enjoy a regular tv series, I rarely watch ANY tv or movies, because I'd like to be reading, writing, or on social media, especially instagram. :P For every thing we say yes too, we are really saying no to something else, right? So, when I'm baking a lot or sewing etc, I don't get much reading done. But I usually prioritize reading, because it mentally fills me up, recharges, challenges, and grows me like nothing else. I also am a pretty fast reader, although I do miss things sometimes by plowing through stuff. So that can be a blessing and curse. <br /><br />Anyway, all that to say, that's how I read a lot. ;) <br /><br />Annie saw the photo of Corynn and excitedly wanted me to tell you to say hi to her from Annie! :) Amy Mariehttps://hearthridgereflections.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-61164798728331311272017-07-31T19:46:44.104-05:002017-07-31T19:46:44.104-05:00Forgot to sign my name , Christina gomezForgot to sign my name , Christina gomezAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096929442048877716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-80042058791670000412017-07-31T19:46:06.383-05:002017-07-31T19:46:06.383-05:00Love all of it!
