I’m excited to tell you about True Woman 201. If you read my Memoir Monday this week, I talked about it there and shared my excitement! If you already read about it, you can scroll down and check out the graphics and quotes from the study that the launch team is sharing this week. All […]
Memoir Monday {No. 67}
I found this on my counter one afternoon~ handy-dandy pen holder comprised of various items from my paper drawer in the kitchen. Only problem~it doesn’t stand up very well by itself. 🙂 There’s That Kitty. I really do have a soft spot for him. And I have fun teasing the owner and trying to convince […]
I Love You Pillows
I’m so in love with these I Love You pillows. For a couple of reasons. For starters, I think they’re terribly cute. For another thing, my daughter created and crafted them. So, of course!! They are just so fun to me. She had the idea and had sketched it out in a notebook and […]
We Visit Exploration Place
We had a fun daytrip and outing clear way back at the beginning of the year, when my family was here for birthdays and to see us and be with us. We visited Exploration Place. We were there when our kiddos were much younger. Neither one of them remembered it just a whole lot. I […]
Memoir Monday {No. 66}
Pictures and pictures and pictures! I made a stuffed sweet pepper recipe that sounded fun to try. The peppers were so pretty as they patiently waited to get filled with cream cheese. Modern day pool player. Handy dandy holder. I scattered my Easter treat for my man on the dresser top….because candy is so pretty! […]
Spraying With a Sprayer
I was out and about a bit, at about the same time as my farmer and his sprayer took off on their maiden voyage spraying wheat on our farm. I wandered over to the field and took some pictures. I enjoy it when it works out for me to snap farmy photos. Many times […]
Crafting an Easter Wreath
I’m EXCITED!!! I made a wreath. Well, kind of. I did not make everything with my own bare hands from scratch, from vines and branches grown in my yard and garden, from fibers woven on my loom, and from plastic melted over my own fire and paint stirred together from crushed berries and whatever else. […]

Aaannndddd….. Lilla Rose decided to have a sale! If you’ve not tried our headbands, this is your opportunity! I love the […]
Marshmallow Peeps Surprise Cupcakes
I clicked over to Pinterest a few weeks ago to browse for a bit. Pinterest has started doing that whole picked-for-you bit and selecting pins for your feed. I hadn’t paid that much attention and probably really wouldn’t have realized they were doing this, except a few days earlier I had read a sarcastic humor comment […]
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 […]
Memoir Monday {No. 65}
Photo evidence of events of the week… Tucker’s tree blooming! Getting familiar with sprayer and settings and lots of details to figure out. All above my head. I just took pictures. Two cuddly puppies. The big one was mine when I was young. I fell in love with his droopy eyes and bought him with […]
Spring and Easter Decor
I was starting to feel like winter was running a bit long, even though it was only the beginning of March. Just that longing for sunshine and spring and birds chirping and green shoots shooting up. And while I’d enjoyed my touches of Valentine and red, February had zipped past, taking Valentine’s Day with it. […]
When Cookie Dough and a Kitchen Aid Mixer Catch Your Eye, This is What You Get
I walked away from my mixer. Not always the smartest thing for a cook to do. But then I’m far from the smartest. Fact is, I’m pretty simple. I knew that my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe was a big one. I knew it filled the mixer up pretty good. But the dough needed to […]
Memoir Monday {No. 64}
Last week….. We put on fertilizer …. Wow. A lot happened last week and it seems like a long time ago already. We baked cookies. We made Easter/spring cupcakes that I hope to give their own blogpost… We burnt candles. I’ve felt blessed to have the cozy flickering of candles on many days through the winter […]
Hauling Hopper Bin Bottoms
Once again the days are moving along and the mile long list of winter time projects has been shortened a bit, but never as much as my husband would like it to be. I try to comfort him with the fact of, we-wouldn’t-want-to-run-out-of-things-to-do, but he never bites on that very well. I also argue that this-is-life and […]
Thankful That the Bible Meets Me in Real Life {Five Minute Friday}
Life is real, Life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal, Dust thou art to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow {Find all the eloquent words here ~} REAL. The writing prompt for this Five Minute Friday. The verse above was one of the first things to pop […]
