Celebrating Fall in Our New Lowcountry Home
Lately we've been celebrating fall in our new Lowcountry home. The completion of our house was extended, then extended some more in the summer of 2021.

Strawberry Shortcake and Angel Cake Halloween Costumes
My four daughters have always been fans of Strawberry Shortcake. Strawberry and her friends have reinvented themselves many times over the years. The classic Strawberry Shortcake from 1980 is not our favorite. Personally, I'm not a fan of the recent changes to her appearance either. Strawberry Continue Reading
