The kids started at their new schools in Scotland this week. Super exciting! They get to wear these darling uniforms that they pretty much despise. Until now, my boys could probably count the number of times they’ve worn a dress shirt and tie on one hand. This is the best I could do on a …
While househunting, we have been enjoying the kind hospitality of three different new sets of friends, for which we are super thankful! We got the kids all squared away to start school next week and spent today shopping for their uniforms. Lots going on! For weeks I’ve been reading info on moving abroad, traveling in …
Welcome to the sometimes weekly (more like monthly) edition of In The Pipeline, where I list stuff I like on the internet and tell you what’s coming down the pipe at the Chino House. So, it’s August. You know what that means. We are moving to Scotland this month. Whenever I talk to anyone, they …
Welcome to the sometimes weekly (more like monthly) edition of In The Pipeline, where I list stuff I like on the internet and tell you what’s coming down the pipe at the Chino House. I did my first ever Google Hangout this week with Jenna at Webjet. (Yay for figuring out how to do new …
Oh my goodness. We have had the most wonderful 10 days in Colorado. We may not get to come back here for a long time, but we are going out with a bang! We have hiked all the way from Aspen to Crested Butte! We’ve mountain biked. We’ve climbed mountains, hiked trails, fished lakes and …
I’m heading off the grid for a bit with my family for a big hiking adventure! It’s been just a wee bit stressful getting off but once we feel that mountain breeze, I just know the craziness of regular life will fade away. At least for a few glorious days. We’ve been pretty consumed with …
Since this track played nonstop at the Chino House a couple of years ago, it will forever play in my head when someone says SUMMERTIME! Go ahead. Listen. Enjoy. We sure are. We’re spending mornings here, there and everywhere, but afternoons we tend to end up at the pool, whether we planned to or not. …
Happy Friday! I’m just popping in to share a few things with you today! Our neighborhood pool opens tomorrow, so it’s officially summertime here in Arkansas! I mentioned a couple of week ago that our family is about to embark on a great adventure. Well, here it is: As we say in the South, Lord …
It’s an exciting season at the Chino House, friends. We’ve had a lot going on, so I thought I would do a little re-cap, plus let you know what’s in the pipeline for the rest of this month. We made a Family Cycling Video. Have you seen it! KATV – Breaking News, Weather and Razorback …
Welcome to Ten Dollar Tuesday, where I give away a small amount of money ($10) to a worthy cause and invite you to join me! My small group is participating in the Walk for the Waiting in May, which is a walk benefiting children in Arkansas who need homes. Here is a little bit …
So in celebration of the last Monday in January (Amen!), here are few little happy things! This seriously unbelievable Instagram from @jimmy_chin kind of makes me want to pack up my camping gear and head on out into the great wide world. Even in January. I have a serious case of wanderlust right now. …
This past Tuesday I had the opportunity to visit Moss Mountain Farm. P. Allen Smith and the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board treated several Arkansas bloggers to a dreamy day of doing a few of my most favorite things: walking, eating and storytelling. I’m still soaking it all in. I met lots of new friends, tasted …
I have a little Merry Christmas Eve gift for ya! We participated in the Joy Project again this year, which made us laugh a lot throughout December. For me, the laughing and dancing together as a family is the value of getting out and bringing the joy! We surprised people with our joyful flash mob …
Happy Friday! One of my most favorite things about Fridays is that I get to watch the gal I teach alongside every day do one of the things that she was just made to do. Teach art. She is an artist, and she is a wonderful art teacher. And on Fridays, we need art! We …
