a blog designed to live life with harmony and style
This blog was started in
December of 2009
after my family moved
from my beloved home town
of San Diego
all the way across
this great nation
to Washington DC.It was supposed to depict our life
as a military family
with three teenage girls in a new town,
setting up camp,
creating a home,
and keeping it all together.You will find anything from
home interiors,
to tips on creating house harmony
to what we have for dinner.The only way to safely
describe this blog,
is
Simply Brookes.Thank you for reading...
Without you,
this would be called my journal.
