HOMEGROWN GOODNESS Planted 2 peach trees and 2 apple trees at our old place 7 years ago. The grasshopper plague killed 3 of the trees the first summer, and the last one never produced. My mother-in-law came bearing this gift today….the FIRST fruit from my lone peach tree, after 7 years!

About Me
Heidi Jo:
wife, mama, baker, teacher, crafter, collector.

Only good things happen in a house decorated with polka-dots that smells like dessert!

God has blessed me…….

I love my geek, our kids, flowers, tinted paint, white dishes, and flavored creamer with a little coffee. The best sound in the whole world is a little one waking you with "mama", although it is more appealing
after 5am.
