Goodbye October

Sprittibee's Inktober Chicken

This month has been a crazy, dreary, rainy, emotional roller-coaster, but we are ever so thankful to see the sun again… and the light at the end of the tunnel. The sunshine has returned after torrential Texas rains (thankfully we weren’t flooded, but that is in large part due to the fact that we chose […]

Some Prickly News

Neighbor Cow via @Sprittibee

I started this post a week ago when our contract for the house collapsed. We were about a week from closing, when our buyers had an unexpected snag with their lending company, and had to switch to a new mortgage loan officer and start completely over from scratch. Thus our deal crumbled and I ended […]

Field Trip Foto Friday: Austin Steam Train Association’s Hill Country Flyer

Chickie and the Train Gang @sprittibee

ALL ABOARD!!!! If you love riding on the rails, the “Cedar Park train” is a field trip you won’t want to miss. Rail travel is so relaxing. You can learn about history, take in the scenery, or just kick back and take a snooze with the monotonous clickety-clack of the rails and the breeze in […]

Spring Break Recharge

We bring you news from the break in our regular program… Our crazy haze of end-of-school wrap up before spring break turned in to a world of busy fun the past few days. We had some friends who live quite a few hours away stop in for three days of fun in the sun. Our […]

Why You Other Christians Should Be Jealous

If there’s one thing Texans don’t lack, it’s the love of all things Texas. Pretty much the only thing bigger is God himself. The painting above is of the Texas Hill Country in spring. Some sweet lady at our church painted it. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Bluebonnets and winding country roads make my heart sing. […]

Field Trip Foto Friday: Sweet Berry Farm Corn Maze

Welcome to Sprittibee’s Field Trip Foto Friday series. You can visit my previous field trips for this particular year here: First & Second Grade Field Trips. I think this is one of the last in this set, and hopefully we’ll be moving on soon to 2005-6! Be looking for additions to our homeschool series. You […]

Spritti Who?

Howdy. I'm Heather.

I'm a Christian Wife, Foodie, Writer, Homeschool Teacher, Artist....

OH YEAH, I'm also a Professional Event, Portrait, Art & Wedding Photographer - (which currently is the only job I get paid for).

I'm also a DIY amateur, Gourmet Cook on a mission to eat clean with good reason - I was diagnosed with colon cancer in August of 2016 (read: bona-fide health nut), and I have a cacti collection that is bordering on a business... a hobby farm we are just now beginning as a new adventure for our family... and of course, as you might expect living in rattlesnake country, I'm a gun-toting Native Texan (Yeehaw!)

I've been trapping Google-searchers here since 2005.

Bless your little heart. I'm so glad you stopped by.
