Age of Innocence

7/25/2014

We made it to NC and are getting settled yay! Our family is settling in on our rented piece of land. It is beautiful and my heart is full of happiness to be home in the mountains of my youth. The looks on the faces of my children, the first night they arrived, was priceless, as the Fireflies came out to play. I remembered all the wonder and joy I felt as a child and was so overwhelmed with gratitude that my children were experiencing "glow butts" (as my 18 year old son called them lol). As my children were growing up, I told them stories of my southern childhood, and all the wonderful experience I had . I had no idea how much joy little things such as fireflies bring to our lives.

Country Girl
Welcome!

Kimber lives in the beautiful Western North Carolina with two of seven "kids", as the other five have flown the coop...um ... the nest. She grew up mainly in the cities of the south eastern United States, but came to appreciate the simple joys and laughable situations she found herself in living out west for 20 years and living "rural."

Seasons change in life, and she has found herself navigating a new way of living. She has left this page up as a beautiful reminder of what was as she moves forward.

She was blessed to find that the series of struggles, fortunate and humorous events have strengthened and expanded her understanding of parenting, life, relationships, and faith.

Kimber has a passion for decorating on a dime (budget), learning the art of homesteading and sharing her adventures in hand crafting, canning, and living simply. She elievs in walking softly on this planet.

Her pastimes include Yoga, Body work, creating a beautiful home with lots of love, navigating the life of her children, singing, songwriting, face-booking, creating, reading, writing, crafting (which occasionally includes dangerous power tools), attending activities with her girl friends, and country swing dancing.

She believes that laughing, kissing, holding hands, relishing the sweetness of children, supporting families, staying positive in the face of whatever life throws your way, and celebrating faith is the way to a healthy and lovely life. Simplicity of life is kind to the soul and does not allow one to get caught up in keeping up with others. It is a deep hope those who read this blog will be blessed and find a little something to brighten up and encourage them on their path.
