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 […]
Memoir Monday {No. 85}
That Kitty hangs out…. Turkeys stroll through… New nozzle for gas can acting as decor… Front door flung open….beautiful, cool air and 70 degree weather… Happy mail making my mailbox brighter and adding a cheery spot on my countertop…. Snickerdoodles.……. That Kitty waits…. Fantastically fun felt confetti…….. Packing up….off to visit grandparents… Cake to make…new […]
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}
Apparently, THAT KITTY, reads about North Carolina on occasion. Cake pop fun. Of lunches and chiseling. Of course, we all think the babies in our lives are the most adorable!! Those kissy cheeks! 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, […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
Organizing Photos In Three-Ring Binders
I love pictures. If you’ve dropped by here even just a few times, you may have figured that out. I like taking them, I like having them, I like the memories they create. I also like and appreciate all the pictures friends and family have given us over the years. Many years ago, I was […]
