A Little Happy for Your Friday
May 9, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Confession: This week has kicked me in the booty. Lots of good mixed in with the not-so-good/stressful, but just A-LOT. I know you know how I feel... it's May, afterall. And as a mom AND a teacher, I get it going and coming. On Monday, I'll share some pics of what my house looks like right now. I have to put the blinders on to walk out the door and so I will, and I will try not to think about the disarray until I walk back in the door. … [Read more...]

*Update: this post was set to go out yesterday, but my server went down unexpectedly... so now we're all the way to Thursday! Oh well... :) Wednesday already and Easter is almost upon us. In our home that means BRUNCH! You probably already know this, but I have experience feeding crowds and Easter has become one of my favorite holiday brunch occasions. Maybe it's that spring has *usually* sprung (don't ask me about that cold front that … [Read more...]

It’s the Little Things (and a Big Thing)
March 5, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Ever notice how something little can make you warm and fuzzy on the inside? Something little like organizing a kitchen drawer, tulips in a vintage silver pitcher, or this... A citron green chevron rug for my kitchen. It also prompted me to wipe down my kitchen cabinets. Yowza. Needed to be done. :) Yes, thank you HomeGoods! I'm making little changes for spring (oh, spring, where ARE you??) and it's feeling pretty good. … [Read more...]

After all the stress and angst of last week, God granted me a wonderful weekend of peace! I was so blessed to spend Saturday with a dear friend, watching her daughter (my god daughter) play in a volleyball tournament and catching up. Don't you love it when it's as if no time has passed since you last saw one another? Sunday was warm and lovely and after church I spent a few hours in my yard, clipping, raking, and bagging debris from the … [Read more...]

My children are especially battling their grief and anger anew, especially seeing no remorse from the man that killed their cousin. I can't blame them. Your continued prayers are coveted today, as we're … [Read more...]
