Last week I showed you the upstairs boys’ bedroom (where the fire happened) and this week I’m revealing their bathroom. It’s at the bottom of the stairs that lead to their attic bedroom and it’s been completely redone. Before the fire we had a pre-fab shower in there that we had just (I mean just…
This post contains affiliate links. What’s it like when your teenage boys ask you if they can have a Harry Potter room? Well….it’s confusing. On one hand you’re thrilled that they love to read and want to be surrounded by literary characters. On the other hand you know that everything you’ve ever seen with that…
We are so, so close to getting our house finished and even starting to take some pics to share. Hopefully by this time next week I will start showing you rooms that have been completely redone and it’s exciting (to me at least). Redoing a house is one of those things that teases you. You…
So far it’s been a banner year here at the Point. Between the house fire in January and one daughter getting engaged and another having a baby and my car dying and having no fridge for months….and that’s just the highlight reel. I have hundreds of other smaller disasters happening all around me all the…
Wow, are we actually halfway through 2018? Yesterday my calendar told me it was July and I thought the heat must really be getting to me because that doesn’t seem possible.

It’s hard to believe that more than 6 weeks has passed since our house caught on fire. It’s one of those experiences that feels really slow and really fast at the same time. For the first few weeks it seemed like recovery was creeping along. We were lost in the jumble of decisions and how…
Having a bottle of Young Living Rose oil was high on my wish list, but because it is the most expensive oil they sell, I knew I had to have a better reason than, “I just want it,” for ordering. After much figuring I did get myself a bottle of it about a year ago…
There are so many times in life you think, “I don’t know if I could survive _____ happening to me.” Then it happens to you and you not only survive, but you discover more of who God is and how deeply He cares for you and how strong you are. One of those fears I…
We’ve had cold spell for the past few days. We are feeling the chill and so are our animals, who all sit around shivering and whining. I was walking through the backyard yesterday when I spotted our three cats all huddled together under what appeared to be the only dry spot in all the world near…
