November 27, 2013 It’s the thing that bothers me. The thing that takes my focus off of the beautiful tree outside my window. The birds that gather outside. The sunlight that hits at just the right angle. My ugly black hood that just takes the place of something until we get what we want. But […]
Life Happened and a Quick Chair Makeover
I am so slack. It’s been ten days since I lasted posted but things have been crazy (as they have for everyone!!)! Cray was sick most of last week and really just wanted to be held (no complaining here about the holding part). This weekend, Russ got sick, again, and claims he has the bubonic […]
Perspective
November 8, 2013 This week brought some tough thoughts for me. For my family. None of which were life changing, thank goodness, but enough that got me to really, really thinking. Can you feel God working? Sometimes, I feel like He’s right there. Other times, not so much. But I know VERY well. That means I’ve […]
Last Day
I made it to 31 days! Happy Halloween from the UPS man and his package! (Much better pics coming soon…aka when I find my camera cord!)
A Legacy
October 28, 2013 Last Tuesday, Papa would have been 90. He was kind, generous and unassuming. Sometimes he pretended he couldn’t hear what Mama was saying, but we really knew the truth. One of my favorite memories is taking them to the beach and starting to unload our bags… You see, we had everything you […]

Walks to church… Walks to CVS….and […]
Printable
Pretend I posted this last night, okay? For Day 16, here’s a free printable. This is the verse when things get hard and overwhelming because no matter where we are in life, I stop and look around and realize….God brought me here. This far. With this family. With these children. With this husband. There are […]
DIY Square Ottoman
October 15, 2013 Now that we are a little more settled (Ha. It’s only been three weeks…), I have been trying to slowly work on the playroom. I’m working to tie the rooms together because when you walk upstairs, it’s visible from both doors as you soon as you turn to step up… A few weeks […]
Weekend Wonders {1}
October 13, 2013 The small, simple wonders that moved me this weekend… This sunrise that allowed us ( us as in my fabulous sister-in-law) to capture this face. This guy that took a FOUR hour nap today so I finally felt like I got something accomplished! Oh yeah, he had to sleep in that hoodie with it over […]
31 Days Challenge: Moving the Earth
October 10, 2013 This post is Day 10 of a 31 Days Challenge: At school, my fourth grade class is in the process of starting a compost pile for the school. Last year, they became the “Recycling Pandas” so they have been working on ways to save the Earth at school. This year, their goal […]
