Sometimes the right words are just put before you. Isn't God so good that way? Like last fall, when I accepted an invitation to join the blogging ranks for (in)Mercy in my quest to make this space count. And I told the story of my mom's illness while traveling in Kenya. And how I now had the opportunity to, in turn, make a difference for some special girls in that country. And how I read with amazement that we had FAR exceeded our … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Tuesday
April 29, 2014 by · 1 Comment
My school year is rapidly drawing to a close (how did THAT happen??!) and soon I'll be welcoming both the college one and our oldest back into the fold -- busy times afoot around here! And I lost a little ground battling that nasty head cold last week and through much of my weekend. Hence, this post. :) During my latest thrifting adventure, I stumbled on these old alphabet flash cards. A couple of the cards were missing, but I thought … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, What I’m Loving on this Good Friday
April 18, 2014 by · 1 Comment
And it IS a Good Friday. My peeps will be gathered to celebrate Easter and while I see suffering and my heart hurts for many near and dear to me, God is at work. He is at work in a mighty way, y'all. I'm spending today quietly and that feels very right. Not just to reflect on the sacrifice of our Savior as I wind up my Lenten journey, though that is undoubtedly part and parcel off today. I have much to be thankful for, and there are some … [Read more...]

Oh, MLK Day to the rescue! Or should I say, to my To Do list's rescue! Once again I have several projects mid-stream and last week was crazy busy finishing up student evaluations and report cards and parent conference prep. So how nice to have an extra day to cross a couple of things off my list and get some new things plugged in to my booth (remember that space? yeah, it's in need...). So I thought today was a great day to share a what … [Read more...]

It's been a while since I did one of these and since I'm still a bit under the weather and behind on posting, I thought this would be a fun pre-Thanksgiving post. I spent most of yesterday in the kitchen and getting a bit of Christmas decorating on (!), but I did have to dash out to snag a winter coat for the 15 year old. He's grown so much in the past year (5 inches!) there was nary a coat in the house to fit him and with freezing temps and … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {October}

Holy Cow. October flew by in a hurry, didn't it? My pause did not last nearly as long as I'd hoped, but I'm thankful there was a bit of one in there. Here we are in November and the slide into the holidays is on its way! I think I'm actually ready to get some Christmas crafting going soon... is that scary or what? ;-) Unfortunately when I look at our calendar for the month, I'm not seeing much time to spare! Guess I'll have to get clever, … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! Whew, what a week! I know I promised a giveaway today, but I've decided to wait a bit to announce it... you see, Decor & More is getting a little work done. :-D Can you see how big I'm smiling?? I'm so excited about the fresh new look coming our way! So because the site might be down a bit here and there for the next few days, it's not the best time to do a giveaway. It's coming soon, I promise, though. … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :) So today I'm sharing some "happies" -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night! What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]
Guest Room Lighting

Happy Monday, y'all. After a rainy weekend of getting things done, I feel a little better about my To Do List, but there's still much to do in the coming weeks. We finally got graduation announcements for my son in the mail, brought my daughter (and all her STUFF!) home from UGA, and ticked off several things I needed to do for school. I was hoping to get more done on the guest room, but ran out of time. Boo. Even though the weather didn't … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday: What I’m Reading

Happy Monday, everyone! Spring finally sprung over the weekend and I've been a busy bee around here! The fun has begun on the guest room (woo hoo) and I got my garage a little more organized over the weekend (thank goodness!). Lo and behold, the car even got washed... amazing what you can accomplish with some good weather. :) Follow me on Instagram for updates and sneak peeks in the guest room this week! Since there's so much in progress … [Read more...]
