Making home mean more
There’s no end to the ideas you can get from Pinterest! I saw something on Pinterest a while back, where they used frames as serving dishes – so I thought I would modify it and fix a need that I happen to have! (I’ve lost the Pin….ARGH!! That’s why I am not sharing in. Boo!) [...]

See what I made!! I love cheap fun! (Ahem, inexpensive fun, I should say!) I love having pictures around my home – photos of good times, good friends, good memories – it makes me smile! I suppose I get this from my Mom….although I wouldn’t have known that until Anna Claire was born last year. [...]

One of my long-term personal goals is to build a repertoire of classic recipes. I want to have a GREAT recipe for all the basics – homemade spaghetti sauce, chicken salad, macaroni and cheese – you name it! I would love to have a heirloom family recipe album full of our family’s favorite dishes to [...]
This weekend I finished my VERY FIRST Christmas craft since my daughter was born…a craft aimed at her. The fact that she’s almost sixteen months old is beside the point, let’s just say there is a reason why this is NOT primarily a craft/DIY blog! Whadya think?

Reading and thinking today about Romans 12. Learning to bless others and to walk in harmony with them. Learning to pour myself out as a living sacrifice – my reasonable, spiritual worship. But you know, sometimes I don’t feel very spiritual. Sometimes, people just bug me, frankly. They do annoying things, like forgetting to do [...]

Had an interesting conversation with a parent tonight after services. Her philosophy of parenting stems from identity – basically, you embed in your children’s mind from the very beginning that [...]
I know we are gearing up for cookie season….and this is my husband’s FAVORITE cookie recipe. Which is a bit of a letdown honestly, because if I want to REALLY make him happy, then I don’t get to earn it by making some kind of fabulous dessert from scratch. I have to make this. And [...]
I’ve long known that one of the keys to overcoming temptation, living victoriously, beating depression and wrong thinking, maturing in Christ and most importantly knowing Jesus was inextricably linked to scripture memory. We are told in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that scripture is good for teaching, for correcting, for reproof, for training us in righteousness – [...]
OH. MY. GOODNESS. If you would have told me that I would ever be painting my counters, I’d have told you that you were crazy….that I’ve seen bad sponge paint jobs and I would not have my counters be subject to that! I would also have told you how cheap it is to replace them [...]
TIP: Don’t worry – pray! It may not fall under the category of “kitchen help” or “great redo project” but this is a tip, nonetheless, and one that I need to work on being more diligent with. My fourteen-month old is so precious – I know they all are, but as my grandmother says, “Every [...]
