Beehive and Bird's Nest

I am a smart and sassy wife and mother with six lovely offspring (three boys, three girls). I dislike going places with them; it's such hard work. So we stay home most of the time and enjoy our chaos without an audience. Here I am, a Queen Bee with a house full of drones (if only . . .), a nest full of noisy fledglings. Honestly, I just like my little cocoon. I love doing homey things like baking and sewing and reading and decorating. This blog is about all of that.

I'm smart, I'm sassy, I'm sarcastic. Sometimes I'm nice, too. I'm a mom of six and wife of one. Although I love and adore my family, they are only the supporting cast for this blog.
