My Four Walls

The most significant work we ever do, 
in the whole world, 
in our whole life, 
is done within the four walls of our own home.
- Stephen R. Covey


I had an extraordinary Mother's Day.

Mr. Agrestic and my two Agrestic Juniors saw to it that the whole day was filled with all my favorite things.

It began with mini-movie created by all of them in my honor. It is hilarious, sappy, and sweet. Memories I'll cherish forever. Something truly special in the mini-movie that I want to share with you is a photo series of my boys holding this poster in all my favorite places around Knoxville.


I love that they spent a whole day doing this and were all able to keep it a secret from me :) 
Hope you love it as much as I do!

One of our most favorite dining spots!


… and dessert!
The ball field where my li'l sluggers play ball!
Lemon Cookies!
Venti Sweetened Black Iced Tea
Nama ~ Sushi Date!
My Patio
My most favorite place to shop!
Without a doubt, my favorite place to eat (just went there today!)

And then the Grand Finale!


Her Garden

Love!

What a special day it was ~

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers and women who have touched my life and have allowed me to learn through your love ~ 

Also, let us not forget those who walk this day with a heavy heart...

I hope all of your souls are shining today.

In That Space

Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…

Peak 8 and Carter Park

Image
We geared up the next morning to enjoy a few more of the fun adventures Breckenridge has to offer.   We started with a gondola ride up to Peak 8 This gave us an opportunity to check out the ski slopes and helped convince me to take Sam and Charlie skiing...  Yikes!! (more to come on that)   Our kids are going to jump in a snow pile anywhere they can and start playing...   You know it's a good day when you're sitting beneath some blue skies 8,000 feet above sea level, having a drink and some lunch outside near a small fire, and watching people enjoy the gorgeous slopes of Colorado. Robbie's Tavern at Peak 8 ~ highly recommend! Onward to Carter Park to indulge in some sledding!   Can you even stand this smile? We took a picture just like this one below in this same place 10 years ago with a baby Sam and Charlie laying on top of me!  Oh the years gone by....   And finally, a few sl

… And My Most Silly Sweetheart ~ My Baby

Image
Finally, I get to introduce to you my baby ~ Charlie Aaron Hatcher. Chuckles. The most perfect nick-name there ever was ~ It's so profound as a mother to bring a new life into the world, and only a few short weeks after the little miracle arrives, you feel like you already know his personality and who he will be. I am describing Charlie to you today using nearly the same words I would have used when he was 3-months old. Funny, whimsical, stubborn - yet easy going, independent, and extremely loving (when he wants to be!) This child has enriched my life in so many ways. He is a little ball of energy, with a sassy attitude that cracks you up. And it's all topped off with a sugar coated sweetness that can melt your heart. I thought I had nearly mastered parenting, disciplining, and molding a child by having practiced with Sam ~ but come to find out I essentially had to throw out everything I learned with Sam, because this one has been a whole new ballgame. Amazing how that wo
