{affiliate links included} Just some general chit-chat on this Monday morning. And a refreshing picture of ice water and lemon. Though it seems the ice has all melted. Ha! Tomorrow it will be five weeks since my surgery. I can tell I feel stronger each week. I really felt good right after my surgery […]
In Our Wardrobe {No. 16}
Meet Becca. She is my youngest niece. She’s our merry, little model today! When she and her family visited at Thanksgiving, we snapped some pictures. I’d had the idea before they came and it was a fun photo shoot. You can find my oldest niece over here in this post, In Our Wardrobe {No. 13}. Miss […]
A Fabric Pennant Banner

Yarn Along {My Fringe Hours}
Well, it’s no secret I’ve been a bit nutty over pom-poms. {Come see my pom-poms in this post if you missed it.} Look what my daughter gave me! She made me some pom-pom bookmarks. A Pinterest inspiration idea she found! She said, “I thought I’ve got to make some for Mom, because she’s been all […]

Never delegated to only one day. The celebration is in our every day and our everyday. We celebrated Christmas with […]
Monday Morning Musings ~ You Are Everything
Lord. YOU ARE GOOD. Even when life feels like it’s full of landmines. YOU ARE ABLE. In every circumstance. YOU ARE STRENGTH. When it seems I can’t take another step. YOU ARE SHELTER. When life feels shaky and the rain is cold. YOU ARE GUIDANCE. Directing feet when my future feels uncertain and unsure. YOU ARE […]
Good Rice
Good Rice. That’s the name of this recipe. Because…. it’s good. It is. And so simple!! The only unfortunate thing is that while my man loves this recipe and eats it heartily, neither one of my kiddos are particularly fond of rice. They may like it someday. They both eat lots of foods they […]

As 2015 Ends
The end of 2015…. It’s held… Ups and downs, good days, not-so-great days, smiles, tears, pain and fears, JOY, gratitude and giving, lots of living, memories made, hellos and good-byes, baking and farming, questions and answers, growing and changes, hard days, happy days, blessings abundant, FAITH and audacity, learning to live loved, embracing that I […]
Yarn Along {You Are Special}
We spent the week of Christmas in Ohio with my family. It was a good week. I wasn’t sure how traveling would play out this year with my surgery happening the beginning of December. It worked out to go and I got along pretty well riding and traveling. Yesterday was three weeks since my surgery […]
Ten Things In 2015 That Make Me So Happy

To Always Gaze Upon That Baby
I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do, I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view, I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes, I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes, I want to smooth his hair, all downy, soft, […]
