The "Way" We "Live"

 I recently had someone comment about the "way" we "live".   Considering the source, I believe it was meant to be an insult- but it actually got me to thinking about the "way" we "live"!  The more I thought about it, the more I realized perhaps it was an insult born from envy and it just made me feel bad.   Not for the way my family lives- but bad for the person who made the comment in the first place.

Our home is not always magazine perfect and that's okay.   We "LIVE" here.   We make messes, we make memories and we LOVE our time together here.   Our house is not flashy and filled with fancy expensive trinkets bought only because we are trying to keep up and illusion of grandeur, perfection or style.   I don't DO trends...and most certainly don't do fads.  You probably will never see me post about a viral anything.  

I do practical          I do antiques          I do sentimental                   

I do family             I do feelings           I do functional 

I do realistic           I do humble            I do authentic                       

I do modest            I do handmade

We do US  

...and after years of experiences and learning how to...

We DO happiness

 

 Our house is not a place staged to show off the illusion of a perfect home filled with a perfect Stepford Family.   This house is a home filled with things we love.   Things we have collected in our travels, thinks I have made, things kids have made, things that make us feel good and remind us of memories made together.  Our home is a modest, clean, warm, comfortable, inviting place that reflects who we are.   

I have been working on my writing space, a bedroom, a sewing room, a studio room, and loads of other little projects, as well as spending time writing, and enjoying time with friends and family.   Life is just so precious and can get quite busy around here.   

I tend to hand write all of my posts before I put them into my computer.   It has been quite some time since I regularly shared anything so it is taking me a little bit to gather my thoughts into articles.  I have so much to say, that it is taking me a little more effort to be focused, and I have about 15 posts already partially written...so hopefully I will get everything finished and scheduled to share with you!  

I'd also like to thank all of you who have sent me a few tips and tricks with the changes to this platform.  I can say a LOT has changed and it is still challenging me to get my groove back.  Any and all suggestions and tips are welcome!   Just pop them into my comments and I will be certain to look at them all.   I have my comments moderated at this time, so I can keep whatever ya'll say private if you like.  

So to the one who gave me the beautiful comment about the "Way" we "Live"...thank you.   I also hope that one day you will be as comfortable and authentically as happy as we around here are. 

Until Next Time... love the "Way" you "Live"
