I was warned that the spring Diva Night is never as well attended as the fall is. But, boy am I glad we didn't listen... and participated anyways! First off, Diva Night is quite expensive for little, old, handmade, don't-have-much-merchandise-to-actually-sell me. I'll be honest, $200 is very difficult for me to scrape up, just to be listed as a participating business and be put on the map. And then the…

So I thought I’d take some time to actually pull together a blog post, to introduce you to some accounts…

The broiler project for the Jr. Livestock Show has certainly been an experience! Over the last five years, we've raised the chickens indoors (in the garage) and outdoors. In handmade buildings and in our water trough (that has been used as our pool during the rest of the year). ;) We've had a year when we lost several of them to the cold or bad health. We…

This was our third Christmas without gifts, our third Christmas to celebrate experiences and our family. Two years ago was Galveston and Moody Gardens. Last year was Waco, Cameron Park Zoo, and the Magnolia Silos. This year was something that fit the bill for the animal-lover, photographer, and military-obsessed genes in all of us. Our first day of vacation was actually spent trying to take care of all of the…

I get the San Antonio Magazine in my mailbox every month. Sometimes it only takes me a few hours to get around to flipping through and enjoying. Sometimes it's so hectic, it takes me a month or two! The December issue? Even though I saw that it was a "Made in SA" issue (which is so exciting!), it's actually been sitting on my coffee table for over a week. But…

Just wrapped up the inaugural Hill Country Handmade Market! Organized by the ladies that run my favorite Boerne Handmade Market, this was a little branch off from that. Their idea is that this market will be in a different location each year. This year was just down the road in Comfort. Since we were in the back yard of the 8th Street Market, unloading and set-up was so easy and…

I am so excited to go live with our next guest blog post! And while I assumed her post was going to be about her involvement with Alamo City Moms Blog, her book (The Con Man's Daughter, which I loved), her spiritual journey (the "Jesus is my jam" phrase makes me think of her, every time I see it), any one of her kids' amazing accomplishments (they're all kicking…
