Im new to your blog, and I loved reading this! Partially because I just moved to Texas, and am in LOVE with Gruene. But I have yet to visit the Gruene Hall! I live in Bulverde, so any chance I have to visit this cute little town, I do. Just wanted to say hello :) Hi! Im new to your blog, and I loved reading this!

You would think I would say that all the time because I run a blog network and I read blogs constantly. I don't know how I never found yours before this week. I was searching for a recipe for homemade chocolate sauce -- that's how I found you. And I was on my iPhone (in bed one morning when everyone was still sleeping). And you had that nifty mobile app that made your blog so easy to peruse. I have to tell you, your writing style is so engaging, and your photos are fantastic. I really loved the series about taking your family to Italy. My husband and I just took 2 weeks in Amsterdam and it was awesome. You've inspired me to take our daughter on our next trip. Actually, I'm now thinking maybe we should take 2-3 months and go to South America. I am looking forward to reading ALL the archives as soon as I get some time. And honestly, I rarely find a blog where I just can't wait to read the archives. Thanks so much for writing your blog. It is a gem! And PS: I'm from Texas! Grew up in San Antonio and Dallas and went to UT Austin. Oh my goodness, I LOVE your blog. You would think I would say that all the time because I run a blog network and I read blogs constantly.

I found your blog as I was searching for apartment decorating ideas. I'll be a sophomore in college this fall, and I'm always looking for inexpensive, cozy, homey ideas for my living spaces! It's funny.....it seems we are very similar. Reading your bio, I could identify with so many things - the m&ms, solid color shirts, do-it-yourself projects, the desire for simplicity and enriching your family life and relationships. Oh, and the tendency toward night owl-ishness :) Thanks for taking the time to contribute positive ideas to our world - and the web. Take care, Maria Hello!

It looks like something I will be reading quite often. :) I quit my job almost 3 yrs ago to stay at home with my 2 precious children and love the new interests that have come from my adventures at home. My new found interests include soap making, gardening, and whole foods...these things I would never have thought to appeal to me until I became responsible for my family. I look forward to reading more from you! I just discovered your blog.

That is the reason why it's being forced by modern dietetics, along with the eating habits they love so much, the Mediterranean diet. There's been enough analysis to demonstrate omega-6 poly unsaturated fats from the majority vegetable oils to not be so good for you, and trans fats are now detrimental for you, and they are still making an attempt to slag saturated fats. That only leaves mono unsaturated fats like Olive oil and Canola oil.

I look forward to visiting daily. I already told a friend about your site because her maiden name is Lane and I think that is such a sweet name for a little girl.
