Ten of My Favorite Things Right Now Made Out Of Wood
Today for Ten on Tuesday we’re talking about favorites we have that are made from wood! I’m linking up with Carole! This has been my favorite ever since Matthew and Renae returned from Haiti. It made the list of ten favorites on Tuesday, a couple of weeks ago! This candle holder. It’s been out and […]
Three of Our Favorite Schoolbooks
Today I bring a bit about schoolbooks. We’ve homeschooled ever since R was a tiny kindergartener. We’ve had schoolbooks we’ve loved and some we didn’t. We’ve had some I definitely wished we wouldn’t have bought. We’ve done some of this and we’ve tried some of that. Trial and error. Learn along the way! And every […]
Favorite Finds {No. 6}
Favorite Finds ~ Cosmetic Edition! This nail polish was my go-to kind and color for my toes this summer. I like to get a pedicure at the beginning of sandal season and I like a neutral type color with a bit of shine. This one worked well for me and was my favorite! I tried […]
Instapost {Oct. No. 1}
I’m pretty excited. Which is a way of mildly understating that I am very, very happy and if-I-could-actually-do-a-cartwheel, I would do several! Along with a few handstands and round offs. Gymnastics has never, never been my thing and at an-approaching-forty-age, it for sure isn’t. So, I’ll just do all the things in my head. […]
Beautiful Cupcake Liners
My mother sent me these beautifully, gorgeous cupcake liners. They traveled home in my daughter’s suitcase on an airplane from Ohio. We picked up our children at the airport on a Sunday and ate lunch in the city and heard about their trip over burgers and fries. On Monday morning, my girl finished her […]
Of Books and Highlighting and Pens
I showed you my basket of pens and markers and pencils and all manner of writing utensils over here in this post. I still really like having it and use it practically everyday. I never used to do much highlighting in books. I did highlight in my schoolbooks some. {In those long-ago days. Peer through the […]
A Basket of Pens and Pencils and Markers, Oh My!
{affiliate links included} Back in the spring, I pulled some of my favorite markers and pens out of their packs and plunked them into this basket together creating a cheery, happy mix of colors and an easy way to have them within arm’s reach. I borrowed a few colored pencils from my son and added […]
Love to Take Pictures? Here’s The Ultimate Digital Photography Bundle Sale
I love to take pictures. I’m definitely not in the pro category and lean towards amateurish, but I love my camera and snapping away. I procrastinate with offloading and they pile up on my camera card all too often! I like to play around with the settings on my camera and keep slowly learning a […]
Spring/Summer Style
A good while back, clear back in the end of 2013, I shared a Style for the Season post. Several ladies went together and posted Winter/Christmas outfits. I enjoyed the post and have thought off and on, I’d do it again. But haven’t. 🙂 Recently, I’ve been putting some outfits together that I like, but […]
Three Things {Favorite Finds No. 4} Pampered Chef Cooling Rack, Glass Bottles, Insulated 31 Water Bottle Thing-a-ma-jig,
Drumroll! Da-da-da-dum! I’ve been wanting to post more of my favorites. There are so many days that I think, “I’m going to blog.” and then I get busy with with something else that HAS to be done or I get sidetracked with another project or interruptions or unexpected things come up or I get a […]
Soft Hands For Spring! Mary Kay Satin Hands Set Giveaway
Good Morning! I’m giving away a favorite of mine today. I really wanted to do it earlier, more of a winter-take-care-of-your-hands, but it didn’t happen. Instead, we’ll celebrate soft hands for spring and an Easter week giveaway. One of my friends gave me a Satin Hands Set for my birthday a whole bunch of years […]
Three Things {Blankets}
What could be better for January than to talk about blankets? Our January has been pretty much a chilly one! But this week we’ve had some awesomely warm weather and sunshine and some 70’s!! Woo-hoo! A lot of January, I’ve been thankful to pretty much stay inside . I’ve been thankful for ductwork. I’ve been […]
Denim Napkin Rings Repurposed From Old Jeans
{affiliate links included in this post} We recently read an interesting tidbit in our Manners Made Easy book. It said that while napkin rings are mostly decorative today, they have an interesting origin. Each family member used to have their own distinctive napkin ring. Napkins were used at more than one meal and each person […]
A Few Words and a Personalized Pillow
Just popping in to put a few words out in blog land. We arrived home Tuesday evening. Once again we traveled safely back and forth over all those miles and highways between Kansas and Ohio. We are thankful. Even though our December plans have ended up completely rearranged, we were glad we could […]
