Sweet Girly Scarecrow Make-up for Halloween
Can you believe October is coming to an end already? I swear it was just September like a week ago! Now we're already being jolted straight into the busy holiday season (which I'm totally looking forward to)! Fridays are what we call Fun Friday in our Homeschool. We focus primarily on Reading, ...
God’s Grace and Forgiveness
Winter in Iowa is coming! Just today we had a little bit of white flurries falling from the sky. It didn't last long, but it was evident! Is anyone else out there absolutely thrilled about the beautiful white flurries making their appearance? EEEK! They're just so gorgeous! I am beyond ready ...
Fair Trade: Coffee and Accessories
Although my husband doesn't like coffee, and I assure you I did not know this before I married him, he buys it for me anyways. In marriage there is commitment AND compromise, folks. Over the last 11 years that I've been buying coffee (since I can't just drink my parents' for free any more) I've ...
A Tripod Setup For YouTube and Periscope For Under $35!
.This post contains affiliate links. A camera tripod has been on my Amazon wish list basically ever since I bought my fancy camera back in December of 2014. I’ve been worried about getting a cheap one and it tipping and breaking my camera. I finally orderd one and was so happy when the UPS man ...
Happy 3rd Birthday, Sweet Girl
Sweet Girl, Tonight I am going to put you to bed as a 2 year old. When you wake up (I’m guessing at about 3:30am, and again at 6:30am), you will officially be a 3 year old. Man, just when you got the hang of admitting you were 2, and not 15 when people asked, you’ve got another age to ...
Home Art: Creating a Paint Shirt!
We've been taking on quite a few art projects this year, since switching to Home Art Studio. We are LOVING it! The kids love it because they're actually getting to do more art, and I love it because the materials are so easy to follow and it mostly uses things we already have at home. As a result ...
Let Your Heart Wander
Hello! Do you ever feel like you’re strictly doing only what you have to do, just to get by? I’ve been in that mode for a few weeks now. I’ve been having a hard time saying “no” to the things I’m not super passionate about, because I’ve had the mentality of “yeah, I can squeeze it in” or “that ...
My Heart Today: The Orphans
Photo Courtesy of Courtney Lorenz Photography. My family and I drove home from church today in our Town and Country van. We bought it new, had it custom-fit for our family, and delivered to the same dealership where we had bought our last minivan, just a couple years before that. When we got ...
Happiest Pumpkin in the Patch
My husband agreed to let me bring home *the prettiest* pumpkin today. He loves me so well, and he makes me the happiest pumpkin in the patch. :) I'm so glad my teenage-self found him early on, so I could have all these days to love him and be spoiled by him. He's changed so much over the ...
Stop Comparing! Start Encouraging!
I'm feasting on cage free brown eggs with organic garden fresh onions, and sipping a cup of Oolong tea from the cutest Asian Market around all of Minneapolis. & that Hobby Lobby mug, totes adorbs, right? ~BUT WAIT {seriously} ~ Dear Sisters in Christ, PLEASE don't let this snapshot of one meal ...
