Hey! How’s it going? I'm Mary, a loving rancher's wife, and Traditional Catholic mama to four amazing children. Originally from So Cal, I did not imagine I'd live the midwest rural life, but here I am. And I couldn’t imagine any other way of life. I’m an admirer of 40’s & 50’s vintage life, retro fashions. I love modern Boho decor, vineyards, and dreamy Tuscan Villas.
