Christmas In July – Traditions

In keeping with my Christmas in July theme, I've been thinking about Christmas traditions.  I have so many from when I was growing up that I just adore and have incorporated into my little family's traditions as well and I have traditions that we have started new to my little family. When my son was... Continue Reading →

Christmas in July – Gift Giving

So... Have you started thinking about Christmas yet? Are you one of those people who starts buying gifts in January and so you're already done? Did you take advantage of the Prime Day deals to get a jump start? I totally missed that and to be honest, I don't really even know what it is!... Continue Reading →

Our own little bounty

This weekend, we took a trip to the farmer's market and boy, did we eat good! We are terrible about not ever getting around to doing stuff.  DH always had school work to do and I always have church work to do so we often just hang out at home.  It's a very boring life... Continue Reading →

Spending Time

DH drove out to pick up DD and bring her home last week.  He got to see her perform and then they got home Saturday evening. So, I've been spending my time with them.  DH is going to be traveling for DD's 20th birthday so we went out today to celebrate early!  Fun times! DH... Continue Reading →

Community Love

Yesterday, I preached on loving others as Jesus loves us and it reminded me I needed to get back to my crochet goals.  If you remember, from my New Year's Post, I set a goal of 52 crocheted hats to give away to the needy by next winter.  It was supposed to be just one... Continue Reading →

Creating… it’s good for me.

I haven't posted in a while about my crocheting.  I have a very dear friend with cancer and I wanted to do something special for her so I crocheted her this lovely blanket. I have to say, I think it is one of my favorites.  It's a big rectangular granny square. I love the yarn too.... Continue Reading →

Healthy cooking for one, please…

  I've been cooking for one a lot recently and that's something I struggle with sometimes.  It's funny to me how sometimes, it's so easy and then other times... not so much.  Oh, I don't struggle so much with the cooking part as I do with the planning part...  What do I cook?  How do...

Friday Musings

So, I'm trying to write more, but this week was spent just being present with my kids.  I've traveled to see them both. It was a quick trip... too quick, but it's been so good for this momma's heart.  I miss them so very much and it's good to connect in person.  Anyway, with the... Continue Reading →

Refocusing on my health

So last September, I found out that my cholesterol was high.  The doctor immediately wanted to put me on medication to get it under control.  I had feared this for a while.  It's in my genes. No chemicals for me, please. I didn't want to take any pills.  No chemicals for me, please.  I had... Continue Reading →
