I have a heart for marriage. I feel passionately about it. The commitment to marriage and the plan God has for marriage is sadly becoming lost and tossed away today like so much litter. I want for people to love their spouse, love their marriage and be grounded in God. Does this mean I have a […]
Yarn Along {Bruce’s Loose Tooth}
Working on this dishcloth. It is my sixth solid color. But it will be fifth in my stack, because I gave the pink one to my sister-in-law. I finished my golden-yellow from last week. I had fun adding a few photo props and snapping a couple of pics! The two shells in the photos […]

Quotes to Remember {No. 2}
Affirm your husband often! Husbands have a need for our affirmation. This is at the heart of the “helper” role and why God said it is not “good” for man to be alone. Your man needs your affirmation! Give at least one encouraging statement {really more than one} daily! ~Kimberly Wagner I realized why […]
My Pie Crust
It’s Pie crust day! Or post pie-crust-recipe-day anyway! One big reason to add this is because I have a three-ring binder that contains all the recipes I’ve posted on my blog. I print them out and stick them in it. They are my well-used, often-used, go-to, loved, favorite or family recipes. My pie crust recipe isn’t […]

Coming and Going to Hatteras
Just a few more for now! These are a few pictures of our between-here-and-there as we traveled from Kansas to North Carolina to destination, Hatteras!! We took a side tour through the Smokey Mountains, caught a bit of the Appalachian Trail, saw tunnels and cool Corvettes, plenty of pretty views, played games in the car, […]
A Summer Outfit
I never really pictured doing style posts for my blog, but Renae and I have been doing some photo shoots here and there and it’s been fun! Just like categorizing my recipes, it is giving me a visual catalogue for clothes. While I’m no designer or the talented fashionista that many women are, I have always […]
Homemade Salsa
I had a friend asking me about my salsa recipe. It’s one I have planned on adding here sometime. I needed to rewrite it with the changes and tweaks I’ve done and it struck me that it would be almost as quick to simply add it here. Then it would be here and she could […]
Birthday Blooms
Beautiful bright blooms. Brilliant sunshine streaming in. Light bouncing, dancing, catching, casting shadows, sparkling. Fantastic flowers. Fluid light flows from outside. Finding its way to fling glorious rays around. Camera clicks. Capturing radiance and freeze framing it. The splendor and the wonder in bright bouquets. A simple bud. Simply complex. I could never […]
Yarn Along {The Best Yes and Rainbow Valley and Mini and Maxi}
Linking up with Ginny and Frontier Dreams. {affiliate links included} I mentioned last week I had the idea to make several solid dishcloths. My stack is started. I finished the yellow and moved onto a coral-ly pink, completed it ~yay!~ and pulled out a golden yellow. I had an orange-striped shirt on one day and […]
A Delightful Glow is Four Years Old
The idea entered my head last week to look up when I officially posted my first blog post. I knew it was coming up, but didn’t know the exact date. I know September was my first full month of blogging in 2011, but the exact start date has never stuck with me. I’d entertained the […]
Three Things {Favorite Stuff I’ve Had For My Kiddos}
Recently, I thought about some different things and stuff and activities I’ve enjoyed with my kids through the years. These three things stood out. {You can find Seven Favorite Summertime Activities for kids over here. Two of my favorites in this post are over there too.} 1. Audiobooks I have absolutely loved having audiobooks […]
Instapost {August No. 1}
My mended clothespin apron! I’ve loved this clothespin apron. The back of it is made from burlap and early summer it started wearing some holes. I decided it could probably be repaired. My daughter showed me her stash of material and I picked out a cheery, bright dot. She took the apron and the material […]
Memoir Monday {No.84}

Cheeseball snack and an afternoon with friends. {Click on cheeseball for recipe} Up and away! Oh, to have the energy and effortlessness […]
Could We With Ink The Ocean Fill
This song in this post ran through my mind a good bit while we were at the ocean. This verse from The Love of God did too. Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade, […]
