Home is where the heart is


{our red brick house}

{the backyard fountain designed by my mother}
{entrance to the kitchen. Mom would write the day's menu on this board. I miss her cooking and the way she used to sing along to " The Carpenters" while she worked her magic in there.}
{Lucy bear, Burger's sister and the lady of the house}
{the red brick pathway to the garden}
{the patio area. perfect for sitting down and enjoying a cup of joe (if the weather is under the usual sweltering 95 degrees that is)}
{deep in the Heart of Texas}

Last night I came across these photos I took last year of my childhood home in Sugar Land, Texas. Yes, Sugar Land is a real city and is just as whimsical as it sounds. It is a place where kids can still go outside and play till dusk and neighbors borrow eggs and sugar. Our family is so blessed to have been surrounded by such wonderful people who have become some of our closest friends. This house holds so many of my fondest memories (especially of my mom), and is something I hope to keep in the family forever.

  3. What a beautiful place! I could just sit in that garden for hours despite the sweltering heat. I love the little elements of Texas pride too!
