I’m making a sharp turn today in my topic. I know I tend to jump from one thing to another. I’m working on a new blog design that will make it easier for you to peruse the topics that you are interested in and ignore the rest. But for now, it’s what’s in my head…
The Valentine’s Day decor is finally all out and ready to love on each and every person that comes to visit our home for the next month. If you come over, be prepared to have a paper doily wrap its lovin’ arms around you and welcome you with a big, wet kiss. Oops. It seems…
Have I told you before how much I LOVE Valentine’s Day? My Dad loves it too. No, wait a minute, I think I’m confusing him with Mr. Hallmark. That’s right. Dad loves Mom, but he does not care for Valentine’s Day. But I see it as an opportunity to tell the people I love that…
Do you ever notice how much energy people use getting upset? And how they drain the energy of everyone around them? Like today when the woman in the parking lot spent five minutes yelling at me because she thought I parked too close to her car and I COULD have hit it. But I didn’t…
OK, it’s time to lighten things up around here. Whenever I need to get my mind off of things I do what everyone does….I redecorate something. Huh? What do you mean everyone doesn’t do that? Really? But it’s so relaxing! How can this be? Sadly for you, this blog springs from the inside of my…
In what are you and your family increasing? I heard this question recently and it made me wonder. DUH and I are very purposeful with our decisions. We know our goal, to glorify God. We understand the rules, God’s Word. In what are we to be increasing? For us it is to grow closer to…
Invitation by email. “We were wondering if you guys would like to come over for dinner tonight.” You guys. You guys? What does that mean? Just husband and I? Or the whole gang? It would seem like you guys would mean our family. But our family hasn’t been invited to dinner at someone’s house since…..well….I…
My Etsy Giveaway is closed and we have a winner! Thanks to all of you that entered….I really appreciate your comments. And the winner is…..STACY! Congratulations Stacy! Just send me an email letting me know which one of the four new items you want along with your mailing address and I’ll send it right to…
Some days you just need to throw dinner together. For me, feeding 11 people every night (plus there are often extra people here), can be daunting. So I keep a list of things I can make in a flash that don’t cost a lot and are pretty healthy. If the girls can make it it’s…
One of the things I really wanted to do before we start back to school tomorrow is get some new things listed on our Etsy Shop. So I spent all day today working on it (OK, I did a few other things too but that doesn’t matter right now). I actually managed to list four…
