We have a puppy at our house. Oh my! This is adorable little guy is on loan from my parents. I say loan because we aren't set on adding a puppy to our family right now. & my daddy said that if this didn't work out it was okay to give him back. I ♥ my ...

Kitchen Upgrade: Strainer
For Valentines day I bought myself my husband a new strainer. AND since I bought it early..... I've already showed him. I just can't keep a secret. We had a plastic blue one, which I have never totally liked. Mostly because when you put it in the sink and pour your pan of boiling hot water and ...
What’s in Your bathroom?
Toxins- freak.me.out. They really do. But not bad enough to totally ditch everything I own. I have some favorites, like my cosmetics. Mostly because I paid a fortune for them while I was selling cosemetics and would feel totally guilty just throwing them away. Really though, what's in all those ...
Our God is an AWESOME God!
Our God is an AWESOME God! & He's funny too! Doctors are expensive. We all know this right? And maybe that's why we avoid them. I may be the only one who puts off scheduling an appointment because of the cost, but I can't help it. I know that usually you start off with one visit to get ...
Content Whatever the Circumstances
Philippians 4:13 (The Message) Content Whatever the Circumstances 10-14I'm glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you're again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don't ...
Godly-Givers
Let me start with telling you that I am a purger (On a whim I decide to throw or donate tons of things, all at once, it's usually a big production). I've always kind of known this, but a good friend pointed it out recently (because good friends can do that). I didn't think much of it at the time, ...
Cutting Cable
I think it was about 2 years ago I made a decision to cancel our cable TV. It wasn't a financial decision, but one that I thought was a good move to get the awful horrible media out of our home (the grown up shows my husband and I were watching, thinking the kids weren't paying attention, but they ...
I Swear.
Last night my husband was working late, so the kids and I decided to make homemade brownies and serve a candlelit dinner to daddy to show him our appreciation when he came home. I had the radio on, and my daughter started doing dishes, without being asked. John Michael Montgomery's song, "I Swear" ...
Show Grace to Your Spouse
First off, I know this is way too forward- But I'm just going to put this out there- I'm hearing WAY too often of couples getting divorced. We've been close too, we're all human and make mistakes. Show grace to your spouse. My advice to you is do what you have to do to get through and heal ...
Thoughts of The Homemaker
This is what is on my mind: Intentional Parenting- Not just letting each day slip by, and giving in to whatever makes our kids happy, but intentionally parenting our children. Training them to be well disciplined. This is a new experience for me, and let me tell you, it is H.A.R.D! Especially ...
