I haven't had much time to blog lately, and I want to show you some kitchens we're working on. But today, I am taking a day off from that stuff and introduce our family instead! You probably don't recognize the pipsqueaks in the picture above, but those are my older two! Since a lot of you are new blog followers, I thought I'd tell you a little about us. The bigger kid above (Judah) is the ... View Post
Hi to You Who are New!

I would love to give you an ... View Post

In the past, we've always had lots of little homemade heart banners and garlands out but this year I've totally forgotten!

Hey there! Fall is in full swing in the Thompson household. Usually it starts with some simple fall decorations like real pumpkins but faux branches from Pottery Barn, since we found out we're allergic to real ones.
