About Me

Hi!   I'm Tammy.....the Country Girl behind the blog.  :)

This is us.....our family. We are Jason, Tammy, Colt, Joy, and Luke.

I’ve been blessed to be married to my hubby and best friend for 31 years.

The Lord has blessed us with three precious children, not in our timing, but His. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Colt is our oldest – 24 years old. Born in South Korea, the Lord blessed us with him through adoption at the age of 5 months. He was the one and only for almost 10 years when his (now 14 year old) sister, Joy, arrived, the old-fashioned way. Then little would we have dreamed that nine years later, we would travel to Inner Mongolia, China to bring home our 2 year old son, Luke (now 5 years old). Spread apart in years, yes, but each one a perfect addition to our family. We’re truly blessed and so thankful that God grew our family according to His plan.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

We are a Christian homeschooling family taking life a day at a time learning as we go.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

I love being home. It’s my favorite place to be – with my family. It’s definitely where memories are made. I prefer keeping things as simple as possible because life is more pleasant that way.

I enjoy decorating our home – in a style I would describe as a blend of primitive/rustic/farmhouse country. I’m blessed to have my own personal carpenter (my hubby) that enjoys building furniture for our home (that I usually dream up for him).

We’re definitely do-it-yourselfers – working side by side in home improvement jobs - seems like we always have some sort of project going on.

When I have the time, I enjoy crafting, photography, thrift store shopping, repurposing, playing the piano, scrapbooking, reading, and blogging, but mostly just hanging out with family as we travel down the path God leads.
