I had a friend who turned forty this fall. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to throw a party! I really love setting things up for a party. It does take time and effort, so it doesn’t always happen. 🙂 Lovely fall flower arrangement! It was part of my friend’s gift and served as our centerpiece […]
Thankful for Photos and for Little People
A few falls past… these were my little people… I’m so thankful for photos, because I forget. I forget how little they were and the chubby cheeks and the daily details of yesterday. I’m so thankful for photos of my little people. And I’m so thankful for these children of ours. Counting blessings and recalling […]
Gifts and Gift Packaging
I’ve long loved gifts and gift packaging. It rather goes along with decor and homemaking in a way, I suppose. In both cases, I am putting together things I like or love and fixing them in a way that makes me smile. I’ve wished before that I could run a little gift packaging business. Not […]

Three Things {Favorite Finds No. 2}
Here are a few favorites again! {some affiliate links included!} {No. One} These big, fat straws! I love them for ice cream shakes or Root Beer Floats. The very first great, big straws we ever used were at Freddy’s Frozen Custard. Then, one afternoon we were at a friends’ and she had some. I soon […]
Three Things {Favorite Finds No. 1}
I’ve mentioned before that I have enjoyed inspiration for ideas or projects or books to read or products people love, from around blogland and the internet. Yesterday, I talked about books that I’ve really loved at this season in my life. I thought it would be fun to merge my Three Things posts with some […]
Seven Books I Just Want to Pass Out to People
Have you ever noticed that when someone is excited about something they often want to share it or talk about it? Have you ever felt that way about something? I know I have and can and do. I also know that just because something has made a big impact on me, it isn’t necessarily going […]
Meet My Tintype
A while back I mentioned winning a giveaway of a tintype over at The Modern Mrs. Darcy’s blog. I was and still am excited that I actually won! I took some time deciding {and debating and hashing over} what photo I wanted printed. {I think my husband thought I was a bit crazy.} {He’s […]
Because Chocolate Bunnies Are Important
In my girlhood days, I liked to read and as I read, I was always intrigued with traditions and special moments that families would hold dear. Eating apples and popcorn by the fire. Coming in from sledding and drinking hot cider. Wading through snow to cut down a Christmas tree and dragging it home and […]
An Insignificant Detail About Towels
I had a revelation the other day. Nothing earth shattering. Nothing that’s going to make any big difference. No shout-it-from-the-rooftop news. But it was a revelation to me all the same. I figured out a common denominator connecting my favorite towels. That’s right. Towels. First off, I’m thankful for clean fresh towels. {That’s not the […]
Wherein I Think About Gratitude
One day, in past days, about two years ago or so, perhaps, I started a Gratitude Journal. I am a journaling, workbook type of person. I’ve had prayer journals through the years and I love the different, workbook-type Bible studies, I’ve worked through or been part of. I know this style is not at all […]
Winter Warmup Giveaway
It’s time for a Winter Warmup Giveaway, I think! I like cozy evenings and I enjoy hot drinks and cuddling into a blanket, but I won’t mind when warmer days and spring sunshine starts filtering in and coming to stay. It’s still a little early to think spring, but it is getting closer! In the […]
