family photo

Welcome to my little corner of the web! I’m Kimberly and I live on a little hobby farm in rural New England with my husband and eight (yes, 8!) children. We homeschool our kids, grow our own food, and live a full and happy life with our family and loved ones. I enjoy beauty and fashion, but I also love to dig in the garden and ride our family’s horses. I’m just an ordinary gal living a pretty unusual life. And yes, once in a while I even wear pearls with rubber boots. What can I say? I’m a country girl who loves pretty things.

Everyday, I try to find the beauty and elegance all around me. That’s why I started this blog–I want to share what I find with you!
