Hello! I hope your January is going well. We had a wonderful time while my Mom visited and now my brother-in-law's girlfriend has been staying with us for the past 2 weeks. She's been working on an art project, so I've enjoyed her company while I work, too.
I got a couple of cooking breaks while my mom was here. My favorite thing she made was chicken and biscuits.
One afternoon, we enjoyed walking around our old downtown and I found a few new treasures, including these little birds.
Vintage lace.
An beautiful stationery set.
And creme brulee candles.
Well, that is what we've been up to. Grace's 12th birthday (yikes!) is this coming Monday, so we are having a family party Saturday evening. She's requested ribs and mashed potatoes. I'll share pictures next week!
ETA: I don't have a recipe for the chicken and biscuits. The stew was made from leftover roast chicken and drop biscuits on top.
Until next time...
Until next time...

I hear you having a crazy winter in Texas this year-- hope it settles down for you. Wisconsin is its usually crazy cold self this year:) But we're used to it.
Love hearing from you, Kelli. You were an encouragement to me over a year ago when I first started blogging. Your "homekeeping skills" and faith in the Lord inspire us all:)

Yum!
I had chicken and bisquits on Sunday. I made a big pot and gave a container to a neighbor who just had her gallbladder out. It's nice that you have a wonderful visit with the family.
Kelli~

Hello Kelli! Such pretty delights. I especially like your little birds and that so very Victorian style stationery. I hope your daughter has a nice birthday!

Looking at that chicken and biscuit, my mouth is watering. Guess I should be thinking about my dinner tonight. So glad to hear you are having a wonderful January.
I'm glad you had such a lovely visit with family and enjoyed a change of pace! I always love it when my Mum and I can work together to make a meal - but I always really miss her when she leaves! I sometimes wish we lived in an era where generations lived under one roof and worked shoulder to shoulder!
Your so inspiring with your pictures and words. Thanks for sharing.
I know how special these times with your Mother are. Love the birds.
Mama Bear
What delightful treasures! Ah, and chicken and dumplings is great for the weather that we have been getting!
Kelli, those little birds are so cute. Sounds as if you had a wonderful month.
God bless.
Kelli,
That's creative, cute, and lovely..
Family Love Along with Love of your God, will make your life enlightening and special,
Cheers,
Good to know you're all fine, you've been missed around here!
