The ultimate test of patience and perseverance! Last summer, my family and I embarked on a series of massive projects around The Morrow House. Just as we finished, our trusty built-in fridge broke down...again! With guests arriving in 48 hours, I frantically searched for a solution. That’s when the rockstar team at stepped in and delivered a stunning new fridge in just two days! Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. They have warehouses all over Texas, their staff will work with you to problem solve and they don’t just refer you to a website. This isn’t an ad, just a satisfied customer who wanted to share about a great experience!

I’ve been reflecting a lot this summer, and been focusing a lot on getting things done. I’m a teacher, along with being the owner and manager of this precious home. Some summers are productive more productive than others, but this has been somehow restful, productive and included a lot of travel too! Our beautiful cottage was a big focus of mine the last several weeks. As the kitchen is the heart of our home, and this summer we took care of our heart! We replaced our old beautiful fridge, build out our cabinetry to accommodate our shiny new one. We went through every single drawer and cupboard to get rid of things we don’t need and purge things that needed to be replaced. We bought new knives, pots and pans, silverware, bake ware, cutting boards and more! IT FEELS SO GOOD! We also did lots of improvements outside too including painting the whole exterior and adding exterior lighting too. I love it, and our guests have been loving it too! Now I’m getting ready for school, and excited for the fall, my favorite time of the year! How was your summer?? Was it filled with rest or work? Are you excited for fall or itching for the summer to continue??

These pictures may not look different to anyone looking at them, but they are an unfiltered example of tons of hard work. The last month we’ve done so much work on our beautiful historical home, it’s been a journey but I’m so proud of how it’s turned out. We replaced old wood while we prepared to paint the entire exterior. Old homes equal old wood! While the house was being painted we purged old things and replaced them with new! I will share more over the coming days, but for now I’m just grateful for the beautiful crisp new white paint!

This board hangs in our kitchen, and I enjoy putting a new message up as the months click by throughout the year. The day I put this up it was SO COLD, and I needed to remind myself that the joy of spring is that it is such a sharp contrast to the harshness of its predecessor. So here’s to winter and the promises of spring!

Do you still have your pumpkins out?? I’d love to know!!! While I’m SO excited to put out our Christmas decorations, I just can’t get myself to put my pumpkins away yet! Fall is such a beautiful season, and I just don’t want to rush through it….as I age I find myself more inclined to savor each season. How about you?? Is it Christmas at your house already?

Here we go, about to change the calendar again. Days, weeks, months and years fly by and each of them bring a degree of change. I hope the change of the calendar brings a change in the weather. I look forward to the new month bringing time for my family to be together and gather around the table. I pray the last few months of this year bring peace to our nation and blessings to all.

It’s fall! It’s Silobration week and Texas is enjoying cool mornings and pleasant evenings under the big full moon! I can’t help but smile! Happy Friday everyone.

We love our front porches in Texas, but we love them most when we can share them with the next generation. I remember being a child sitting on the front porch steps of my Gram and Gramps house while they sat together on their bench and sipped their coffee. Hard to believe how beautiful life can repeat itself and give me an image of my sweet grand baby on our very own porch. Blessings on blessings. Have a great Friday!

These pumpkins are my favorite part of my fall decor at the house. Not just because they’re unique and beautiful or because they offer a gorgeous contrast to the contemporary coffee table in the living room. I love them because they remind me of the kindness of one of my dearest friends. The first fall that we owned the Morrow House I knew that I wanted to decorate for the seasons so guests could enjoy the uniqueness of each time of year with me. I think it’s one of the beautiful things about staying in a home rather than a hotel, that you’re invited into a different experience rather than a standard rectangle room with two beds. So my first fall one of my most talented friends came to shop and decorate with me. We had such a blast gathering items from around town, especially at what was my favorite Waco spot where she bought these sweet pumpkins for me. They were her gift to me, celebrating my new venture. She’s what good friends are, there for the good and the bad and encouraging all the while. So yes, bringing these pumpkins out each year brings me joy. Much has changed since then, my friend has since moved to another state and The Findery has since closed and its owners are forging a new trail with their restaurant but it doesn’t change the moment we all shared or the memories that live on in my little pumpkins.

I got to put a sweatshirt on twice this week (obviously just in the morning) but it was enough to leave me feeling inspired to break out the pumpkins. Fall is a divine time of year. The colors, the temperatures and the natural changes that nature brings just bring me joy. Nature reminds me of how small we are, reminds me of the insignificance of much of what we choose to focus on. Fall reminds me of the harvest and hope that it brings. So yes, it was time to bring out the pumpkins to welcome all of our guests this fall, so they too can enjoy the colors of the season while in our cozy little cottage in Waco! 🍁
