A glimpse into the life of a real family - ours. We're busy. Sometimes crazy busy. Occasionally, life gets chaotic. But we love each other deeply. God is first in our lives, and then each other. There is laughter and love and beauty in this home we share. And as I journey this somewhat chaotic life with the family I love, there are moments when I have to sit back, take a sip of my coffee with extra cream, and smile as I realize something very valuable...I am content.

Mmm, Can You Smell That?
It's a Salty Caramel candle from Bath and Body Works! My mom picked me up a teeny, tiny sample size when she and Madi stopped in the shop while Jimmy and I were off on our anniversary getaway. Evidently Madi needed some cool fruity hand sanitizer (which she has been applying and sharing generously at any given opportunity), and they thought I might like to try this.
I've been burning it and enjoying it because it is a scent of summer - makes me think of passing by Fisher's on the boardwalk of Ocean City or Garrett's on the streets of Chicago - but it also has the kind of warmth that I am drawn to in fragrances. When I hear of a candle sale at Bath And Body or get a good coupon in the mail, I'm going to have to pick up a larger one! It could burn nicely from summer right into fall.
