The progress continues!

There are so many things to consider when you downsize.

I had no idea just how much demolition it would take!

We survived the first month!

I never thought of writing as a career choice.

My mom always said if you want to get a job done, give it to a busy person.

Summer is wrapping up. 

Such special moments this week.

We are a little late in posting our May photos!

Well, there's nothing like a deadline to get us moving here at The Boxmoor!

I love books and babies. 

May Moments

I want to be the grandmother that leaves stories for her grandchildren to tell.

Our three-week trip out West cost less than I thought. And it was worth every penny!

elections, eats, enos: enough

We just keep making memories.

To me, the best part of any event is the staging.

It was Easter with family and friends.

simple things, as always

You can't stop a bird from landing on your head, but you can stop it from making a nest there.

We love books and want to share some of our favorites that you may not be familiar with.

Bennett, bands, and breakfast: The Bs have it this week.

So, your friend has written a book.

Her room is neat again now that she is back at college.

When children are young, it is easy to provide the right conditions for walking in perceived truth.

Snow made us smile this week, along with art, of course.

Since the first couple weeks of school, I've been drawing on the dry erase board on my dorm door.  

I've never been a planner kind of girl.

Things we must always do: eat, swim, and have adventures.

Every year I vow to not bring one more Christmas item into the house.

Fall is our favorite season for so many reasons. 

Jett turned five and we partied in Neverland.

We love expressing ourselves through art.

Cabin, College, and Camping

I've been away at college for a month, and all I have to say is I'm in love. The people, the place, the community, the atmosphere, everything.

This weekend was jammed pack with Jett's fifth birthday party, Arts in the Park, and a surprise visit from the college girl.

So many moments times three.

Treasures, treasures everywhere.

I have a few regrets in life, one being that I never learned geography when I was young--you know, when my mind was sharp.

from preschool to college this week

I really am not enjoying the aging process all that much.

Food, Fun, and Flowers

College, Camp Concert, and Chattanooga.

Since the accident I have made a point to display a lot more pictures and art.

I will be seeing my youngest, Tessa, off to college this week, which has made me very reminiscent and maybe a little weepy.

And here is what we are up to.  

I'm at a place in my creative life where I am figuring out who I am as a photographer.  

This weekend I hosted a Campstameet, which is basically an Instameet and a camping trip smashed together in a gigantic mess of epic-ness.

Has anyone every told you that you are an inspiration?

We experienced a lot in the past week or so.  Some might say entirely too much.  

July unleashes a ton of emotions for us, but we realize that life still goes on and on and on.

It really didn't seem appropriate to post on any random topic this week.  It's been three years.

The stories of summer 2015 continue.

Summer fun continues.

We love to thrift, but we also love to shop-see (kind of like sightsee) in order take in the latest trends in fashion and decorating.  

Several weeks ago, we tried to encourage you to add characters to your stories by talking to strangers.

Photos from California, Arizona, and Tennessee this week!

The list of shows that either all or one of us have watched from beginning to end as best we can remember in no particular order is as follows:

The three of us have recently taken male companions with us on our trips.  And they have not been our significant others.

Whose idea was it to limit the photos to three a week?

I learned a lot this week.  Lord, have mercy.  

The memories made on and the stories generated from family vacations are some of our favorites.

The crazy, busy week continues.  Today, Michael, the oldest son/brother, gets married to Hannah.  And on Tuesday, Tessa and I leave on our three-week quest to the West!  I can't wait to share those photos!

Who doesn't love Pinterest?  It's a happy place!

It's a busy week at the Boxmoor with graduation celebrations, fun in the sun, and preparing for the wedding next week.

We are all suckers for before and after photos of rooms, closets, painting projects, weight-loss, hairdos, etc.

If you believe that, then it just makes sense to live in one--even a small one.

Three things that made us smile this week.

We are all avid readers.  From fluff to philosophical, we read it all.

If you want to make a memory, talk to a stranger. 

If you aren't growing, you aren't really living. That's how we feel about it.  

We are collectors of treasures.

We are delighted that you are here.
