Stories Collected While Living in France
Back home.
Or I should say in the kitchen. A constant hang out. Being back home is being in the kitchen.
Up at six, five thousand cookies, pies, breads cakes and it is only nine in the morning.
I have already unbutton the top button on my pants.
Family and baking it goes hand in hand. I do not know how many times I have washed the measuring spoons and cups. Five, six, ten thousands times?
A family affair.
A cookie monster.
Delicious heart-full home.
Snicker doodles hot from the oven.
Corey I want to jump right in that first picture….I keep scrolling down like it was going to get bigger-JUST LOVELY! Enjoy!!
Top buttons were made to be UNbuttoned (-:
That first picture is fantastic! I love how your mother is dressed and the decor! That white Santa profile is perfect.

Fun to see the kids growing up through your eyes and camera.
Love that kitchen. You are so blessed to have grown up in such an inspiring environment. Love how your mom is dressed too….she’s definitely got style.
Wonderful that you are home with your Willows family.
I can smell the cookies in your Mom’s kitchen and wish I could also jump into the picture!
So happy you guys are able to spend Christmas in California! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Oh what a special place, the heart of your mother’s home. Snickerdoodles, they look delicious! Family and your mom look just perfect. What a cutie mom you have.
I am happy you are home~
Such happy photos!
OMG. Zane’s mini me.
Have a great time, BUT,I don’t think you’re going to win the longest hair this year. I saw a ponytail that was pretty stiff competition 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Mom’s kitchen,so cozy, I can almost smell the cookies. So great that so many are available to gather and celebrate an old fashioned Christmas. Even though our family is much closer than yours, we don’t seem to get the time to spend together and share such simple pleasures. That first picture could easily be a Norman Rockwell.
I adore…..ADORE this blog! It is about YOU! (not just pics from pinterest!!)
I wanted to reply to “Ione” after your Thanksgiving post…..(gosh I am so teared up!!) to tell her her that her grandparents were not “poor”! They were “rich” in the most important way!
You have had so many comments….I couldn’t!!
I hope you can! And you write a wonderful blog! I adore it!!!
I agree you were so lucky to grow up in such an inspiring environment!
I need to find out where “Willows” is!
I saw where “Weed Patch is”! The “San Joaquin Valley”!!!
Is that where “Willows” is?
It doesn’t matter……..I LOVE Your blog…….I will follow you! You are the “real deal”!
I am really just learning about blogs. Some are just endless postings of “Pinterest” pics! Lordy!!

Cookies in my oven now as I read your blog. I love making the things my Mom always made at Christmas. Enjoy your family and tell your Mom she is quite the fashion plate:)
Oh, how I adore your Mother.
Such sweet childhood memories from that kitchen.

Your Mom looks wonderful, and I can smell those snickerdoodles across state lines – all the way to Nevada! Have fun, Corey!
I used to dream of this. Exactly this.
Mouthwatering post! winks!
I love that Kitchen and the ornaments hung over window and archway! Enjoy everything thoroughly! Joyous Noelle!
