I can't even begin to comment further, but I know you share my grief over this latest attack. I intended to finish up my porch this week among other things, but alas Legacy projects and meetings took precedence. There is soooo much cooking right now to … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Working On, and Loving
Happy Wednesday, y'all! This week has already gotten away from me... I knew I'd be busy this summer, but MAN! We had a minor flood in our basement storage room over the weekend so I've been sorting through that mess on top of what I already had on tap for the week. #Boo. Anyway, I'm popping in today to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now... A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I'd strayed from my bookish ways and had … [Read more...]
Five on Friday: Palm Print Fun
TGIF!! What a tragic week in the news, y'all. My heart just aches for the Orlando community -- first the Pulse shootings and then the Graves family tragedy at Disney. What has stood out to me is the reactions... sadly lacking in grace and compassion. I just keep praying for our country and the state of our hearts, y'all. Will you join me?

Book Review: Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World
I had hoped to get this review up a week ago, but at last here it is... I have lingered in this book. I posted this photo a few weeks back when I was first digging into the reading and it got quite the reaction on Facebook.

And that word "entitlement" is … [Read more...]

This ‘n That Monday
Happy Cyber Monday, friends! Have you got your holiday shopping on yet? I have a few things I'll be ordering today, but for the most part I try to shop all year so the financial hit isn't so hard this time of year. :) The blogosphere is loaded with Gift Guides the past few days, and though I was tempted to put one together myself, I thought I'd just share a little randomness with you today. All 7 of us were together (briefly!) on … [Read more...]
