Hello Everyone...
I wanted to first say thank you to Janet Mowat, the editor of Country Almanac, for sending me copies of the Country Almanac summer 2011 issue.....
I opened the package, not knowing what was going to be inside the envelope.
I was a little surprised when I started flipping through the magazine and
found pictures of our home...
If you have access to the Country Almanac Magazine you will see a sneak peek of Fifi's new
book, Romantic Prairie Style.
Romantic Prairie Style will be released this April.....
The kids were so excited to open up the magazine and see the picture of our goat, Dolly.
Dolly has been apart of our family for ten years.
I think Fifi enjoyed Dolly just as much as the kids do.
Thank you Fifi, we are so honored to be apart of your book!
If you are interested in purchasing Romantic Prairie Style you can do so by clicking here~
I recently did an interview with Fifi, you can read it by clicking here~
Christina Strutt just posted an interview with Fifi that I thought you might enjoy reading as well....
Cabbages and Roses
Cabbages and Roses is giving away a copy of Romantic Prairie Style...
You don't want to miss it...You might see a few more pictures over there too.
On another note...
I hope you guys are having a great week....
I am hoping to get back to blogging again soon...
We are still trying to overcome this flu virus.
Take Care,
Maria

Wow your home is breathtaking! I am a new follower and I am in love with your style! I also love the light in your home so inviting with all your decor and your goat ohh how I need one. You are one blessed lady and I absolutely love it!!!!
Hi Maria! I ordered Fifis book when I first saw your home was going to be featured! I think it is so inspiring. Now I am aware that in real life there a bunch of kids running through those rooms and living in that dreamy space, so it makes it all the more fun to know that we can have kids and goats or dogs and have a house that can feel dreamy and pretty too!
How exciting! Well deserved, your home is picture perfect for sure!!
Like I said before your home is amazing and congratulation. I hope you all get better very soon, take care.
How exciting for you! It just keeps a comin.Looks great~Cheers Kim
Dearest Maria,
As a Mom of five, with all you do, you can be very proud of this!
Lots of love,
Mariette
This all sounds so very exciting for you. Congrats. I know I can't wait for the book to be out.
Such beautiful photos of your dreamy home Maria!!;) I cant wait to get my copy of the new book!! Hope you all get over the flu bug soon!Hugs, Rachel

congrats, Maria! Your house is exquisite! You belong there. I love Dolly too. My friends lived on a farm in Virginia, and had goats, lambs, and lots of fowl. I loved cuddling those goats. They were so sweet!
I can't wait to get my book and savour it! So nice to see your outdoor area, too! I didn't know you had a goat! How neat she got in the book!
:) Lara
So great!!!! Hugs Yvonne
Congratulations! The photos of your house look gorgeous. Ange
Very nice, thanks for sharing w/us today, Maria. How neat you have had a goat for so long, you know we love all animals here, bet Zeke would love a goat to look after but we can't have them in our little town. The more animals the better in my book to share love & kindness w/them.
Hope your family is all better soon sweetie!

Congratulations! I found your blog a couple of months ago, and I have to say, I absolutely L O V E your home. I have been trying to find a white iron bedhead for our bed (thrifty style/price), but, I don't know, I'm kind of feeling the love for a shabby chic mantle...

Congrats Maria, I think your home inspires me more every day. What a stunning photo of the bedroom with the mason jars atop the headboard. Sooo beautiful, I love the bright greens and blues you use, as well as my fav, the reds. Not to mention what a nice person you are. I can't wait to get Fifi's book I ordered extra as giveaways on my blog. Hugs, and kisses, xoxo tami
Can't wait to see and hold the book, up close and personal. I can't help but to study each photo of your home, because it is so beautiful.
~G~
This makes me laugh becuase the other day my mother and I (who both follow your blog) were at the store flipping through this magizine and I saw this page and said "hey that looks alot like dreamy white house!" and turns out it is haha too funny. congrats the pictures are gorgeous!
I'm laying pretty low in blogland these days, but I'll always come out of hiding for you. :-)
I am super excited to see your beautiful home in Fifi's book....so happy for both of you, two of my favorite gals!
Love ya!
Anne
Those bugs take awhile to get through a larger family, don't they? I hope you're all feeling better soon. It's so like kids to be excited about the animal photos more than the room photos :-) Everything looks beautiful. Congratulations!!!
Blessings,
Marcia

First of all, this is my first time visiting your blog and I absolutely adore it!! Such a coincidence, I was looking at the Country Almanac magazine this morning! I was just tickled that the goat's name was Dolly- that's my dog's name, too! Can't wait to get my hands on that book! Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm going to go lose my marbles over some of your older posts! xo
Congraulations....Your home is so pretty!
Congrats on being in the magazine! Love your blog and all of your wonderful inspiration you have given me! I am not sure if we are supposed to comment here about the $200 giveaway or not. I have looked at her shop before.... adorable! If I were to win the gift card, I would probably purchase the old bottles and the ironstone pitcher. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks a bunch!
Oh... i left my comment and forgot to leave my email... deetzeyp@hotmail.com. Thanks
Love this site! Keep it comming!!
