About
Welcome! My name is Lillian and I’m still not entirely sure that I could tell you a concise reason that I started this blog. It changes daily, but includes a whole lot of random most usually related to my kids, stumbling through decorating and renovating our house and learning about gardening, food and photography.
I try to take pictures of the pretty things around me and leave out the messes most of the time for your sake – not to portray any sort of idealistic life I’m not living, but to save you from the chaos.
I LOVE:
My husband, my favorite guy in the world, John:
Our two little ones , Mia is 5 and Nick is 3:
I also love:
Potatoes
Photography
Gardening
A good deal
Vintage finds
Our local Salvation Army
Old houses with tons of character
Diet Pepsi
The times of the year between seasons when the weather is mild
Anything in the perfect shade of pale aqua
Dave Matthews Band
Toast with jam
Salt
Any food that might be described as rustic
Flowers
The sound of rain falling
Blogs
Pretty lipstick
Good hair days
A hot cup of tea with milk and honey
Lists for anything and everything
Taking a really long time on a project
Being outside
The quiet during a snowstorm
My kids in outfits they’ve picked
Braids
Fine-tip pens
Watercolor paintings
Love your list!
You might enjoy this one…from a recent retreat…

Love it – I am just starting a blog – check me out at pallyjane.wordpress.com.
It was fun to tiptoe around your blog after finding you on freshly pressed (congrads by the way!). My reasons for starting a blog are random and shifting but anchored by my children and the crazy fun in life. I look forward to checking back with you from time to time.
Congratulations on freshly pressed. I’ve enjoyed looking around your blog a bit – - I’ll be back!
Great blog; your family is precious!
Cute family you have there. Congrats on being FP!!! :0)
Awe, cute kiddos! We share many interests (food, blogs, photography, and family)
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
I love your blog for its elaborate simplicity and honesty and how it revolves around your family. It’s like a sip of warm peppermint hot cocoa that warms me up inside. You have such a wonderful family.
So glad to be following you.
I’m enjoying your blog. I think my blog purpose changes daily, too.
I enjoyed your blog very much. Ever since I started my own blog, I find mine changing from my original idea and I just go with the flow because life is just that way. I’ll be back soon
Hi nice to meet you! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! I passed on your things to do with kids during December to all my friends with kids. My “kid” is 20! Nice blog.

I love your blog, your photos are brilliant
Found you through freshly pressed and have been inspired, like you I have a love of rustic food which I use http://www.mrbunnychowcooks.com to share and I also like to ramble on about my kids and being a dad and anything else that comes up in daily life through http://www.mrbunnychow.com
Time to update this. Your photos show that the kids are much older now!
I just realized from one of these comments, that you and I got Freshly Pressed the same week. I was Aug. 5, 2011. Coolio! I found you all on my own, and have been a fan ever since.
