The Fife house is getting ready to welcome Santa. We’ve got lights on the outside so Santa will be sure to spot our house (that’s right, we’re now one of “those people”). The tree is up and decorated–although the lower branch...

Living inside the perimeter, Chloe Jane and Cara were not going to get the opportunity to see a real working farm unless we sought one out for them. Fortunately, there are still several farms within a short drive from metro Atlanta. We picked this particular farm...

After Mac was blessed at the Blessing of the Animals, we took Chloe Jane, Cara and him to a small patch of woods about 25 minutes from our house that has some easy hiking trails. To Chloe Jane, she was on some grand adventure in the “big woods” as she...

The question isn’t why does Chloe Jane have a unicorn painted on her face; her question to you is why don’t you have something you love painted on your face. That was the highlight of the Yellow Daisy Festival for Chloe Jane. Well that and an inflatable...
