Look at the beautiful flower I grew! (not so much)


Lovely, isn't it? Yes, but you should know, this beauty came about because I spilled a bag of bird seed on a graveled spot in front of our house.

It's funny to me that this came up by accident, but my garden that I spent lots of time and money on did not do so well. Proof, if you ask me, that I should stick to sewing and cooking!

Spring Love

Every spring I say spring is my favorite season. Then fall comes and I say fall is my favorite season. So glad I don't have to choose.


It may sound corny, but I can't stop marveling at the dogwood blossoms or the smell of the lilacs on the breeze.

Happy Baking to all of you celebrating the return of canned pumpkin in stores. It's been a long wait!

These days the simple things mean so much to me. So thankful that God has been working in my heart to bring contentment.
Enjoy your week.

Happy Anniversary




Today my beloved husband John and I celebrate nine years of marriage. God has been so gracious to us. He brought us together through some difficult circumstances, which has always been an example to us of His sovereignty.

My ambition throughout high school was to marry John. I always tell him that he made all my dreams come true! This was what I wanted--to be a wife, homemaker, and mother. Sometimes in the middle of a crazy day or moment, froth with crying, spills, or some of the other things we mothers face, I'll stop and think--this is what I wanted.




Today will be filled with all of those everyday, lovely things...

...hungry kids, chubby hands, hugs, baby talk, crayons, cuddles, stories, questions, giggling, tears, superheroes, ponytails, diapers...



...and one incredible man that I love more now than I ever thought possible.

Morning Thoughts


The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23


I'm so thankful that because of the grace of God, every day is a fresh start. The frustrations of yesterday melt away, and I can start each day forgiven.
