The other day I came home from running errands and every single television in our house was turned on and tuned in to ESPN.
Every TV.
Sports blaring in the background, I walked from room to room looking for Sean, only to find him in the den, sitting on the couch and yes, you guessed it, watching ESPN.
Me: “Sean, what gives? What’s with all the TV’s on?”
Sean: “I had a few minutes to myself and I didn’t want to miss anything.”
Me: ” The sports news repeats every 20 minutes.”
Sean: “I know that. But maybe I want to hear the news more than once..”
Me: “Ok??”
Some things leave me shaking my head. Maybe this is how he feels when I obsess over a fabric pattern or wall color. But he kinda has me beat with all the TV’s on the same channel. A different approach to surround sound, I guess.
And in Keeping Fed this month:
I am so honored that the flag that I painted on our barn has gotten so much attention. My post about my flag project was featured on The Little Things.com which is an online magazine with millions of subscribers. I am so humbled and so grateful. You can read the article here.
A very good friend of mine, Jennifer Prudenti, wrote a book that was recently published. One Mother’s Journey: Creating My Family Through In Vitro Fertilization is about her perseverance and determination to get pregnant, beating the odds, and making her dreams come true. It is a great read, spoken straight from the heart. You can get it here.

This past week, we went to the fair. I met up with this curious calf.
And by the smiles on their faces, fun doesn’t get any better.
Life is good!
Thanks for Keeping Fed!

So awesome that your barn’s DIY flag mural was picked up on The Little Things! You really did an amazing job and I’m sure there is more attention to come. Great tip about the fruit flies too! Have a nice weekend, Brooke! 😀 http://www.InteriorsbyJacquin.blogspot.com

I can relate to your sports lovin’ hubby. Mine will even stream it from his phone as he walks around he house. Love all the links you included in today’s post; i was reminded to clean my oven and i love learning more about taking better photos.
PS- that flag painting on your barn looks killer!
Robin Masshole Mommy says
That flag on your barn is so cute. There is a family here who painted on on the entire side of their barn after 9/11 and he’s been keeping up with it ever since. It’s a lovely reminder of how everyone came together after that day.

I do love that flag on your barn. As for all the TB’s on the same channel all on at the same time-I’m here shaking my head too!
