About Me

I am happily married to Bryan. Yes, we have rhyming names. We have a sock eating dog named Daisy, a non-stop talker named Mary Paul, and a ball of energy named Ellie Jane. Life is wonderful.

Well, Fall is here, and for those of you who know me, it's time to decorate!!! I love decorating for all the holidays and/or seasons. This means that come fall my house is full of gourds, mums, decorative pumpkins, indian corn, Halloween ghosts, seasonal dish towels, anything. Anyone who lives near me and wants some beautiful gourds, the kind you see in Martha Stewart magazines, I have the place for you!! Head on down to Maxwell Bros., one on Nolensville across from Lowe's and one on Old Hickory (where it turns into Bell Rd.). They also have fresh produce, beautiful mums and more types of gourds then you can imagine. Plus, they sell most of them by the pound so you get a great deal!!! It's family owned and the orignial Maxwell is who Henry C. Maxwell Elementary school was named for. I was also recently told that he had a big part in the integration of schools here. Here are some pictures of Mary Paul displaying just a few of our precious gourds. Also, we got Daisy a new bed and Mary Paul loves it as much as Daisy does...maybe when the time comes, we won't need a toddler bed...

LOVE the pictures. She looks mighty cozy on Daisy's new bed. I'm sure that Daisy just loves that! Enjoy the cooler weather! Love you!

Cute! I love the white pumpkin. I got a really neat one that is green, white, and orange...I think it is some kind of squash, but it is shaped just like a pumpkin. I love fall to it is already in the 50's here!

Hi Ryan, We have never met but I followed your link over from Carrie's blog (I love finding new blogs to read!) Your daughter is just adorable, and as I was scrolling down your photos, I realized that I know your hubby! How fun!

Bryan (well, we called him MacGyver back then, you probably know all about that) and I went to Lipscomb together and had many of the same friends. Would you tell him that Mary Alice (Campbell) Duncan says hello? I have been married to Phillip (graduated 2 years behind us) for nearly 10 years now and we have a 3 year old son. I'd love to catch up with Bryan and learn more about you as well!

I just love this whole blog world. I have re-connected with so many old friends this way. I have a blog as well, but it's private. If you like, I'd be happy to send the address and you guys can catch up with me and my family too. You can email me at jacksonsmommy at comcast dot net.

Take care and it's really nice to "meet" you!

Hey Ryan! Hope you are doing well. What is Mary Paul going to be for Halloween? Gracie wants to be Snow White so naturally I'm going to have Hayden be one of the 7 dwarfs! ;)

What a pumpkin! She fits in well with the others...
Breakfast next week? What's Mary Paul's schedule these days?
Can't wait to see you!
