Come Fly With Me


Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer 'cause we're together

Somewhere along the line, without me really being aware of it, I became an avid fan of bird decor. All of a sudden, every new item that I purchase to be displayed in my home, or on my clothing, has some reference of a bird ~ of sorts.
My owl skirt ~ Sam finds it so peculiar that this owl has no mouth or nose.
A staple in my wardrobe ~ my bird skirt. Frequently seen worn with my other staple, the ole Crocs Flip Flops (oh the miles we have travelled)!
A new friend to the family ~ my red birdie dress. The fun part is this is a picture of the back of the dress. Birds adorn the front of this dress as well.
My favorite bird house embellishing my patio
And robin's nest ~ so sweet
Birds also decorate the walls of my patio in three Agrestic Frames ~ 
And my guest bedroom...
I'm loving this trend and will continue to find serenity in all the birds that surround me.

I've actually, for years, had a recurring dream that I can fly. In my dream, it's as if I recall my previous dreams because I inevitably have that "oh yeah!" moment where I remember that I actually have this ability. It's one of my favorite dreams ~ what a liberating feeling to soar above the Earth's surface.

Weather-wise, it's such a cool cool day
You just say those words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's so perfect for a flying honeymoon, oh babe
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!

    Loving the new red dress and your obsession with everything birds :) Hopefully some birdies have made their way into your kitchen! You should read up on lucid dreaming - then next time in your dream when you get to the recurring part - you purposefully realize that you are dreaming - everything becomes super vivid - and you can control what you do. Sounds bizarre - but it's super cool!

    I'm no expert on the topic, but my peanuts have done a lot of research. They all even keep dream journals :) Sweet flying dreams!

In That Space

Image
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…...

… 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...

We Heart the Tomato Head

Image
It has become quite a tradition for the Hatcher family to visit our beloved Tomato Head anytime we have the opportunity. Because we tend to go out to eat a LOT… and because a good dining experience is quite high on our (or at list my) list of priorities, the opportunity to go to the Tomato Head presents itself quite frequently. Always once, many times twice per week. I do believe Sam and Charlie have even decided it to be their favorite place to eat (or maybe they just know it makes mama happy!) On Monday, while on our (home) vacation, we decided to take advantage of our glorious East Tennessee treasures up in the Smoky Mountains. Lucky us… there is a Tomato Head in downtown Maryville ~ so we had to visit as we were passing through. At both locations (Market Square and downtown Maryville), we prefer to sit outside. They have their trademark colorful lights hanging at both locations. Our meal always begins with blue chips and hummus. Always. Sam and Charlie gobble up their ...
