Craving Some Southern Nostalgia and Hospitality

It's been a long time since I wrote anything here on this space. Let's be honest it's been a long time since I've written anything. The other day I was watching HGTV's new show Hometown and it made me quite nostalgic for the south. However it made me nostalgic for a south that I would argue doesn't exist in most cities anymore. I wanted to be transported to a town where you truly know everyone and  friends and family stop by your home on a regular basis. It had me longing for a community feeling that I am not sure exists in today's world. It also had me longing for just a few more hours with my granny to sit on her porch and hear the story about how I beheaded all of her daffodils and tulips one spring when I was about two because "I wanted to pick her and my mommy some pretty flowers", or to tell her all about how my life is now and how her great-granddaughter has her name and arguably the strong female attitude of our family.

Simek's Farm and the Pumpkin Patch

Good Morning everyone. A couple of weekends ago we went to Simek's farm and visited their pumpkin patch. Now anyone who knows me knows that fall is my favorite and a good pumpkin patch is my jam. Simek's definitely did not disappoint. We actually went here last year and we loved it so much we decided to go again.

Motherhood These Days. . .

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Good afternoon everyone. So today I want to introduce you to a new series I am going to be doing here on Knotted Sugar called "Motherhood these days". I know this will not be for everyone, but as I am in the trenches of mothering two littles I want to document it. So that one day when they are older I can remember what this time was really like. I mean let's be honest I don't have enough brain cells left to remember it without writing it down. So I hope you enjoy!

I feel this picture describes how I feel most days. Would love a little space but someone is always there. 

New Name and Such . . .-

Why the new name? Guys can I be honest, I feel like I have really let this little space on the Internet go and some of that is because when I started this blog it was to document the changes in our home, but now that we are apartment dwellers I have far less home diy type things to post about. However that doesn't mean I don't have things to post they are just more in the everyday life, look how cute my kiddos are realm.

Immaline's 4 month photos

Hi all. So can I confess a #badmom moment, when Teddy arrived I was so excited to make sure we took newborn photos. I mean like obsessively excited about it and therefore it happened. I took pictures of every little squishy detail and with my real camera not just my phone. Fast forward two years and our beautiful baby girl arrives. I had really good intentions but managing two kiddos is tough (a lot tougher than I thought it would be) and so time just slipped away from me. Before I knew it Immaline was no longer a squishy newborn but a squishy infant. I say all this to tell you that we have phone photos and maybe a few haphazard camera photos of her first few weeks earth side but nothing really pinterest newborn photo session worthy.
