Six Of One, Half-A-Dozen Of The Other Write a six-word story about what you think the future holds for you, and then expand on it in a post. “She watched the most beautiful sunset.” I am not a planner. When people ask me my 5-year or even 5-month plan…the one thing that I’ve learned in […]

Goosebumps
The Excitement Never Ends Tell us about the last thing you got excited about — butterflies-in-the-stomach, giggling, can’t-wait excited. We hosted a wedding for friends and 60 of their guests here at the House in February. It was over a year in the making, and the bride and groom were so creative in their choices and […]
Little bit of Luxury
Day twenty one – Luxurious What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? There are many little things that we do to create a feeling of luxury in the House. Cloth napkins and silver on the breakfast table, crisp white sheets and duvets on the beds, soaking tubs, beautiful bath products. One of the simple […]
Day Twenty One
Procrastination What have you been putting off doing? Why? My to-do list for the business is pages long. There are so many little tasks that I’d like to get done and want a few ‘office days’ to sit and do them. I am still transitioning into the role of running this business full time. Since […]
Day Nineteen – emotions
Moved To Tears Describe the last time you were moved to tears by something beautiful. I write often about how we feel that it is a great honor to share, even for just a small time, in the lives of our guests. We get to witness their celebrations as many stay for birthdays, or weddings […]

Furthest from Home
Far From Home Tell us about the farthest you’ve ever travelled from home. I have always loved travel. When I was 15 or so, I went to the Soviet Union. It was only my second time on a plane, and I remember it being so loud, and that the smoking class was in the back […]
Honor
Sorry for the lack of posts in the midst of a month long blog challenge. We’re blessed this weekend with 2 brides getting ready here, and 2 sets of brides and grooms staying here the night of their wedding. It is such an honor to be present in these moments – just a fly in […]
Day Sixteen
A Mystery Wrapped In An Enigma Tell us something most people probably don’t know about you. I am pretty much an open book to those in my life – not afraid to share. For the House, I am not sure people would know when it was built, (1890’s,) that it does not have a clothes […]
Day Fifteen
Tagline Often, our blogs have taglines. But what if humans did, too? What would your tagline be? Loves beauty and fun. […]
