I am the youngest of 5 kids, 2 boys, 3 girls. My sisters right above me, each 3 years apart. Growing up we had the typical sister fights - clothes, chores, who is using the phone too long (kids this was back in the day one household had one phone and it actually took about 45 seconds to dial a number). We grew up on a farm so there was always work to be done on any given day. I wouldn't trade in that childhood for anything. We were tired, healthy, and had to have a sense of imagination to keep ourselves entertained. </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My sisters and I couldn't be more opposite but at the same time exactly the same in our core. Julie, the oldest is the caretaker, organizer, mama. Laurie the middle sister is the energetic, hair on fire, always landing on her feet kind of girl, and lastly me, the baby, the athlete, the competitive sibling.

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not a quote-a-day person but I do come across some great ones in all of my daily wanderings. After the storm ordeal in April it was like a landslide of change in my life (including this blog!) A few of the biggies: my job has had some major changes, we are renovating our downstairs into an apartment for my Mom, and I've given up my OCD mentality when it comes to thrifting, buying, and selling. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And just because... I'm including this pic of 1/2 the good stock I come from. The matriarch in this photo is my great great grandmother Annie Hennigan. She came over from Ireland in the early 1900s as an indentured servant and she was just a teenager. She left Ireland on a ship with her brother but the records show her arriving alone. It's a mystery in our family - noone knows what happened to him. I can only imagine her state of mind and her will to succeed in America. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She and my great great grandfather Nathan are sitting in the middle and the rest of the bunch are three generations of their offspring. (oh, and that's my cute little mom sitting at Annie's knee with a big ol' bow in her hair).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I wile away the hours looking at creativity, inspiration, and just plain ol' awesome photography. Sometimes when I see a picture a single word comes to mind and I develop a board from it on my Pinterest site. This one is [obviously] Jump! Who jumps anymore? I can't remember the last time I did. Do we lose this urge as we get older? I wish I had a lake to jump into! </span><br />

I stumbled across a picture of one that caught my eye and I just love the name! So I did a little research and apparently they are quite popular. According to Wiki a Dutch baby was originally served as a set of 3 smaller ones but eventually morphed into one large pancake.

It was a dense but fluffy and flaky pancake. Now that I've followed the recipe I have some ideas of how I would dress it up a bit. Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries would be a good start. We had ours with a little bit of maple syrup and I nixed the confectioners' sugar.</span><br />

I generally just look through furniture because if I wander into say farm+garden I will be longing for those darling little baby ducks for $1 each or a 1,500 lb horse I am SURE would fit in my patio area. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This beauty is my most favorite find:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband says it looks like it belonged on some wagon train - a U-Haul of sorts back in the day (yes those are wooden wheels!). I asked the man why he was selling it and did he know anything about it? He said his ex bought it and his current girlfriend wanted nothing to do with it. Personally if it were me I would've quickly gotten over the petty fact that it was the ex's and given her a nod for good taste in furniture. He said she bought it at an antique store that imports from India and Morocco. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was the winner in this transaction.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm all dressed up,<a href="http://fleawith.blogspot.com/2011/06/knock-knock-whos-there.html"> invitations sent</a>, balloons blown up, cake in the fridge, table set, dinner ready for 20 and 5 people show up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WELL IT'S A GOOD THING IT WAS YOU 5 AWESOME LADIES!!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems my idea for the contest was a little lame-o, but at least you responded and by the way, all of you made me seriously laugh, so thank you for that! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Quality not Quantity...</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems silly to treat this like some big contest where there are 100 comments to pick from, post, vote, announce, blah, blah, blah. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I did it the old fashioned way. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wrote your names on a piece of paper, numbered them 1-5 and had my husband pick a number.</span><br />

Storms ravaged our homes, displaced many, and took lives. Although our home was damaged by trees and we are temporarily living somewhere else, I know we are among the lucky ones. Even though our house was looted while we were away I am appreciative that we are alive to take inventory and are fortunate enough to have insurance. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all it's been such an exhausting mixture of emotions. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This post is a little off-topic for me but it's what I got.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXEQJx0n3zV8Zh5Qpp4mBjamWNGpczL04oMEGzEmcoclC4mR0efPcOnmh6J3z41nLNTO37_XERVzY75v-UCKoAObhIJtk200AHq0qJxRofqtTHU5L-h5XMukoRST87XGmlwdRZU4_Cw4/s1600/IMG_0727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXEQJx0n3zV8Zh5Qpp4mBjamWNGpczL04oMEGzEmcoclC4mR0efPcOnmh6J3z41nLNTO37_XERVzY75v-UCKoAObhIJtk200AHq0qJxRofqtTHU5L-h5XMukoRST87XGmlwdRZU4_Cw4/s640/IMG_0727.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently found some old Martha Stewart Living magazines and came across this project where </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">she used yarn to restyle old lamp shade frames. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't so sure I wanted to use yarn but definitely liked the concept. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I picked up a lampshade at Goodwill for $.99.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The texture of the material skeeved me out </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but I was going to rip it off anyway so didn't think too much about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I got home and started tearing it off.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was the color of skin and it was soft, leather-y, plastic. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All I could think of was </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<i>it puts the lotion on the skin</i>" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">{<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">if you don't know what I mean Google it, I don't want to talk about it anymore</span>}</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I ripped it off as fast as I could and threw it away. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I put it in my office trash can but then thought one of the dogs would get it and I would just about have a heart attack if I saw that skin hanging out of their mouth so took it to the outside trash.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to work, hot gluing one end and started wrapping. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The key is to wrap an extra time around the bottom circle of the lampshade to make up for the smaller circle on top.
