Howdy! I’m Ruthanne.
My family is a modern day Brady Bunch.
When hubby and I met, I was a single mother of one and he was a single father of three. Now, after thirteen years of marriage, we’ve added four more children to our number and become convinced of the necessity of caffeine!
Ok. Caffeine is probably not a necessity.
I have moments when I channel a tad bit of melodrama. 
I am passionate about my Lord, my husband (aka the French teacher ~ it’s okay if you’re slightly jealous), and my children.
Here are some randomly random things about me . . . .
I homeschool.
I’ve been known to eat chocolate chips straight out of the bag.
I’m having a love affair with my sewing machine.
I listen to classical music.
I like beer. The dark kind.
I love the arts.
I devour good literature.
I’m a compulsive baker.
I’m a Reformed Baptist.
I heart old, B&W movies.
I think my husband is sexy.
I love him. Like a lot.
My drug of choice is the Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks (Grande, please).
Show tunes make me happy.
I hide behind my Nikon.
I dearly love to laugh.
I’ve been blogging since early 2008. It’s like the chocolate to my peanut butter, the Grande to my Caramel Macchiato ~ it just fits and feels right. This blog is a journal of my life, my family and my pictures. Enjoy!
