Things I am LOVING right now.......

Fall is like a breath of fresh air, It puts me in a cheerful , grateful mood, spending time with my wonderful kids and my darling husband, thinking of the chilly mornings and nights, that certain smell in the air, sitting on the porch in the mornings drinking my coffee....aaahhhhh.

I can't wait to start our family traditions of re-decorating our home for fall, pumpkin patch, craft fairs, family get-togethers, cooking chili and cornbread, baking, sipping cider by the fire, munching on popcorn watching movies, and snuggling.

It’s the time when I love spruce up our home, clean out closets, re-organize and stock the pantry and then decorate our rooms with the pumpkins, and candle glow to make it warm, cozy and happy before blustery winds begin to blow.

I like to start early with my preparations for fall because I want to be able to have time to relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor before the hustle and bustle of the holidays are upon us.

Every year I always get the new GOOSEBERRY PATCH'S new Autumn and Christmas Cookbooks. They have the best cookbooks. It's just recipes, they give you tips on decorating, making memories, new traditions for all holidays, letters of stories and memories from readers and fans, and ideas for making you feel warm and cozy throughout the season and holidays. I just love it.

This is their new Autumn Cookbook

First Post....Here we go!!

My name is Terri and I live in GA. This is my first post. I have alot of blogs I follow so I figure I would try this. I am a mom of 2. Tiffany 23, and Christian 5. Yes, there is a 18 year difference between them and yes it was planned...lol.

My Babies

I also have a stepdaughter 19. I have been married for almost 8 years (in January) to a wonderful God fearing man. I dated him when my daughter was 1 yr old. We broke up ( and neither one of us can remember why, which might be a good thing...lol) We saw each other again at Applebee's in 2001 and he still remembered me....WOW. We have been together ever since and we decided to have a baby and we prayed for a son and God blessed us with one....WOOOHOOO.

My 2 Favorite Men

God is my 1st priority. Without him I would be nothing (as the song goes) but it is the truth. He has blessed me in sooooo many ways.

I love to decorate. My style is Vintage, Shabby & Cottage, all in one "Vintshabage"...lol

I love paper crafts, painting furniture, baking, cooking and taking care of my family.

Well, that is all for now, post later and will be adding more pictures.

Love to all

Terri
