A look into the amazing space of Tall Poppy, Nicole Baart …

Over five years ago my husband and I sold our six bedroom, five bathroom house and moved into a little rancher less than half the size of our dream home. We wanted to simplify, to downsize, and the three quaint bedrooms of our new purchase were perfectly suited for our little family of five. But then we adopted a six-year-old girl. And a few years later a fourteen-year-old boy. Now we’re busting at the seams, but loving every minute of it (close quarters works for our party of seven). However, with bedrooms full of children, this author has no office. No worries. Our sitting room overlooking a private backyard (and swanky trampoline) is my favorite place to write anyway. I have a small desk, my favorite chair, and the perfect writing companion: Charlie Brown. Our redbud tree is also a favorite perch for cardinals, bluejays, orioles, and even humming birds. And when the weather is nice, the patio is heaven itself!
