A Little Housekeeping & Outdoor Living Inspiration
June 12, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Hey there... anyone else tend to let the housekeeping go during busy times?? Please tell me I'm not alone... My default when things are hectic are go into management mode -- i.e. doing the bare minimum to keep things running. So when things slow down a bit I'm faced with a mountain of housekeeping. Filing, sorting, organizing, purging, cleaning. Ugh. It's so -- "un-vacation-y". Such is my world right now... but I did put my blinders … [Read more...]

Thoughts: Mary on the Day After
March 30, 2013 by · 8 Comments
An unusual post, since I don't normally post on the weekends, but this weekend is special... tomorrow is the beginning of the story with the discovery of the empty tomb. But what about the day in between? In between that awful day when He was hung upon the cross and the day He rose? Two years ago I penned a post on my personal and family blog about just that, and I thought I would share those thoughts with you today... That was her … [Read more...]
Catalog Finds: Grandin Road
March 13, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I love it when early spring decor catalogs start arriving in my mailbox. Yes, I am an online shopper, but sometimes perusing the old-fashioned paper catalog can't be beat. Like when you're sitting on a beach somewhere... just sayin'. ;-) It's been a while since I'd thumbed through a Grandin Road catalog, but I found some really cool things this time around so I thought I'd share. Enjoy! Source: grandinroad.com … [Read more...]

Happy Monday! I'm recovering from a busy weekend with my parents in town and my youngest son's confirmation. Seems like just yesterday he was baptized and now he's confirmed and headed for Europe with his Youth Group this summer. Yowza. Anyhoo, I thought I'd share something fun today, while I finish up editing the mass of photos from my February DIYs. The last couple of months while I've been out and about and trolling Pinterest, I've seen … [Read more...]
