Reality: all of your experiences that determine how things appear to you

I am Sarah a stay at home mom, with four children.   With a family of six the “pieces” that each person brings the unit are as amazing and unique as the pieces of fabric that make up a quilt.  Our patchwork life includes ourselves, friends, family, neighborhood and community.  We intend so share these pieces and how they effect the reality of our life

Pieces that I bring to our family are a passion for reading, running races mostly but I am often also “running” everyone else around. I am an avid fan of anything creative,  and love finding new ways to use things that I find in my treasure hunts through second hand stores. This blog will include bits and pieces of all of these happenings along with others that happen in our lives.
