As you might guess after writing 600+ blog posts, I have more than a few favorite heartfelt, homespun thoughts.
While encouragement is the heartbeat of this blog, hearth and home and small town life are near and dear to my heart.
I love sharing bits and pieces of the Ozarks with you and inviting you into my world, if only for a little while.
You might also guess that I like to craft stories with warm, vibrant characters who live in small, fictional towns similar to my little corner of the world. (For more why I write Heartfelt, Homespun Fiction, check out my writing page.)
The Ozarks are unique. Our way of life is a little slower here. We value tradition and we appreciate our roots. We’ve accepted change in the name of progress.
Though times have changed, these old mountains and foothills are the same—ripe with culture and rich in heritage. We remember the old ways, yet we’re hopeful for the future.
Please join me as I share my six favorite heartfelt, homespun blog posts.
- Peanut Brittle-Making at Silver Dollar City (What It Taught Me) Melted, heated, and refined by the fire… Learn more about this sweet treat and life as demonstrated in the photos.
- Five Ways to Rock Your Heartfelt, Homespun Anniversary (Ozarks Style) Simple, down-to-earth ideas for your fun (and frugal) anniversary in God’s country.
- Where Should You Head for Family Fun? Visit the Ozarks! If you’re in the mood for something different, make sure your stop includes our neck of the woods. Lots of photos here.
- Like Country Cookin’? Try Billy Gail’s Cafe Near Branson, MO Did someone say food? Check out one of our family’s favorites here in the Ozarks. And yes—some mouth-watering pics here, too.
- The Letters She Kept Though handwritten missives are no longer in vogue, learn why my nana’s letters hold special meaning.
- Sweet Friendship: The Reunion That Took 25 Years Join me as I take a little walk down Memory Lane to connect with a dear friend who I hadn’t seen in over two decades.
I hope you’ll continue to follow along on the blog. 🙂
