I like a sure-thing. When I have a decision to make I usually stick within my safe-zone or ask God to give me a clear answer on which choice is His perfect will… This approach more often than not gets me stuck, not making any decision. Just waiting to ‘hear’ from God. Kinda afraid to [...]

I’m into my THIRD week without sugar ***** I wanted to tell you of a couple of discoveries… First, I love smoothies! We make one every night when The Husband gets home and that’s the best part of my whole day! Because of The Husband, not the smoothie…hummm. Second…I miss baking. There I said it. [...]

I’m a painting fool. I have grown unbearably weary with the dark wood in my house and have set out to change it and do it on a budget. Which means paint! I have an old trunk in my library room…one morning I taped it up (it has metal strips) and got out my trusty [...]

I’m going to show you a Flashback Friday post that is one of my favorites! This is Anna’s Veranda and it stole my Summer heart… I also wanted to remind everyone to please send up some prayers for the gorgeous Gulf Coast which is in turmoil right now. ***** Sometimes reality is better than dreams [...]

I have this “gift”. I can make a frenzy out of even the simplest moments. Between my mind bombarding me with “worse-case-scenarios” and worry about what “might” be…my brow is all-too-often wrinkled, my shoulders all-too-often clinched, my moments all-too-often missed… No kidding. Ask The Husband. It’s a “gift” that keeps on giving and is made [...]

This post has been hard to write. My ‘One Little Word‘ for the year was Friendship (wrote about that HERE) and I’ve been trying to revisit the subject every month or so, but my thoughts for this post are a work in progress. But I’m going to try… Friendships are not static. They change. They [...]

Summer. Just reading the word conjures up feelings in me. At the end of every Summer, if I take time to indulge in reflection, there’s always a story. Sometimes it’s a story written without any intention on my part. Sometimes I’m left with not-so-fond memories of heat and humidity and really bad hair days ***** [...]

I’ve been wanting to try making one of the burlap wreaths that are all over blog-land. They’re cheap and easy and you know how I love cheap and easy! All you need is: Burlap, a ribbon for hanging and a Coat Hanger bent into a circle. (Not and easy thing to do my friends!) I [...]

Grounded: Mentally and emotionally stable. Admirably sensible, realistic, and unpretentious. Being grounded… It doesn’t sound fun like “Live your Bliss”. It doesn’t sound mysterious like “Follow your heart”. It’s not as celebrated as “Be your authentic self”. But I believe it’s necessary to be grounded in order to really grow. Humbly asking God today to [...]

I’m giving up sweet delicious junk food for a month…I started Monday. Now, in case you don’t know me, I’m not an average sweet-eater. I’m a pro. I would tell you about a typical day’s food for me but I’m embarrassed! Homemade cookies for breakfast, ice-cream cone for lunch and…woops, I wasn’t going to tell [...]
