Doubt {Five Minute Friday}
Doubt. Doubt means I’m all out. Of trust and I’m second-guessing. Questioning truths I know deep in my soul. Doubt lets Satan get a foothold. Doubt lets him throw accusations at me. He lobs them with precision. He is evil through and through, but he is good at hitting his target. Doubt. Doubt may be a […]
In Our Wardrobe {No. 4}
I’m loving this shirt on Renae. It’s new-to-her from a friend of ours who was getting rid of it. The Anchor’s Aweigh flexi from August 2014 makes a cute combination with the dotted shirt. You can find me wearing the flexi over in this Summer Outfit post. I also really like these light-weight, drapey scarves that […]
Jean Pocket Silverware Holders
There are a lot of pretty pictures in my True Woman 201 studybook. One of them showed the back pocket from a pair of jeans with silverware tucked inside. I instantly thought of my denim napkin holders. Next, my mind jumped to the old jeans I still had in an upstairs closet. […]

Thus, Gourmet […]

Instapost {Sept. No. 2}
This has been my view of the farm since Thursday and I have thrilled and danced in my soul as I looked at it. It’s not the Redwoods. It’s not a view like Half Dome and Yosemite. It’s not Hatteras. Or Ouray, Colorado. It’s not Yellowstone National Park. It’s not a quaint French village. It’s not […]
