Greetings, friends and TGIF! As you know I've been purging my household in preparation for our goal of downsizing... and boy have my eyes been opened! I have spent a fair amount of time shaking my head over the accumulation of "stuff" throughout my home and thinking through how to bring order into our abode. Well I have a treat for you today in the way of sharing a new book that has been a timely resource for me these past several … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
Rhinestone Jesus: Review and a GIVEAWAY!
April 30, 2014 by · 5 Comments
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...]

And ever since I spotted some adorable Christmas plates and mugs at Tuesday Morning, I've been itching to pull together a Christmas Coffee tablescape to share with … [Read more...]
October Thoughts and September in Review
October 2, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Ah, at last... October! Cooler days, chilly evenings, the ever-so-slow turning of the leaves here in the South... I am so ready for the pause that is October. August and September are the hectic back-to-school scurry and adjustments. November is the steady uptick in the schedule and way-too-soon holiday prep. But October? Maybe because August and September have left me wrung out and a bit broken, but October feels like a chance to … [Read more...]
