About Me

South Louisiana
I have been married for 20 years to a great husband and we have 8 children ranging in age from 1 to 18 years. I am a homeschooling mom, which can be very challenging. I love sewing, knitting, reading, gardening and have recently started oil painting. I love to create. I really want to have a blog to show off some of the stuff I create, but I also want to share about my life and family. email me at ctrich8@bellsouth.net

Here are my girls and I before church this morning, they all wore their new clothes LOL What a way to make a mama feel loved : ) Oh and Samuel, he HAD to be in the picture, even though I told him it was just the girls LOL


Trish from Briar and Thistle tagged me Friday, I really enjoy reading other people's answers, you always find out something interesting.

Happy Sunday Evening Tonya, We have spent the entire day on the patio, pool & yard celebrating my grandson Andrew's 4th birthday! It was such a wonderful day!...I was just reading a few of my favorite blogs (your's included!!), before watching Desperate Housewives season finale. Anyway, your picture with your children is just lovely! The girls look so pretty in their adorable tops & you look great!...So young!!!...I think 17 years of marriage & seven children agrees with you!....Have a wonderful week!....Your friend, Heidi :)

That is a beautiful picture of you and your girls and (boy)! How happy it must have felt to have all been wearing something you made for each one of them, and if I remember correctly, you're wearing a top you made for yourself too. Interesting answers by the way...fun read! Thanks!
