Words interest me. There are old terminologies that make me laugh. There are lots of words that are way over my head. There’s something that I think we all have in common and that would be an appreciation of kind words spoken to us or about us. I’ve heard and read stories of the opposite. People can […]
Quick and Simple: Detailing a Chocolate Bunny
Quick and Simple. That’s what the title says. That’s what it means. No rocket science here. But, if you’ve visited before, you already knew that! Want to add a fun touch to a chocolate bunny? A simple and super easy one? YOU WILL NEED: at least one chocolate bunny {or a dozen or two or […]
Putting On Fertilizer
Nice weather. Sunny weather. It means work while the sun shines. It means head to the fields and do what needs done. It means spring is coming. Will the rain? It means time to put on fertilizer. It means errand time and food delivery for this farm wife. It means grabbing my camera and *happy* […]
Memoir Monday {No. 63}
Nice weather and go-kart rides ~ go-kart hadn’t been out for a while. I rather forget we have it. It has some issues and doesn’t always run the best. Farmer man keeps talking about getting rid of it. See? Not running the best… Fun farmy picture~ Renae getting better….so glad! Flowers from Grandma for a […]
Just Some Thoughts on a Saturday Night
I’ve been more pain free this last week, than I’ve been in a long time. I am beyond thankful. AND we had nice weather, so I’ve been walking again some. Another thing I’m thankful for. AND I even jogged a little bit when I took a walk on Friday. This is monumental for me. Even two […]
A Box of Sunshine
Renae has been sick. She’s had the sinus/cough/sore throat/headache crud. She’s not done much of anything for about a week, and that’s not her at all. I’m ready to have my girl-that-feels-good back. She’s ready to feel better, too. Being sick isn’t fun, but it does always make you appreciate feeling well! One of Renae’s […]
Birthdays 2015
Birthday celebrations and birthday memories! No all-out shin-digs or parties, but special lunches and celebrating that our kiddos were born! I love birthday parties and birthday bashes, but I’m not always up to the effort of anything too big. Even if I don’t always throw the parties that I’d like to in my mind, we […]
Memoir Monday {No. 62}
We tried out a fun new recipe that my sister shared on her blog. Garlic Cheese Biscuits baked in a cast iron skillet. It was fun to try and yummy to eat! Make your own lunch. Because if Dad is busy for the day, Mom doesn’t worry a whole lot about lunch. #Gratitude for kids […]
Wherein We Look At Books Being Read at Present, Recently Read, Patiently Waiting
Recently I’ve pulled some books off of my bookshelves to re-read, requested and picked up some new books from the library and noticed some of the books lurking around that we’ve read recently or are waiting. I randomly took some pictures. Then I decided “Hey, it’d be fun to dump all of these into a […]
Three Things {Favorite Finds No. 3} Ottoman, Whisk, Leggings
My No. 1 favorite find for this post is this red, polka-dotty ottoman that was welcomed to our basement. I’m loving it. Stools, ottomans, footrests…they’re just great to have to pair with couches and chairs, plus they can make a nice perch now and then and add a fun bit of decor to a room. […]
Memoir Monday {No. 61}
Lots of object pictures for my journal this week! Renae has had this vignette set up in her room for a while and I kept thinking I was going to take a picture of it. Loved how she displayed it all. On our way home from visiting Matthew’s brother… We visited our capital city, Topeka, […]
Just a Simple Post about the March 2015 Flexi
February is a short month and the end of it always catches me by surprise. March came in snowy and cold here in Kansas, but not windy!! Lilla Rose brought in the Opal Maltese for March! I liked the description of a cool neutral mix of silvertones and and transparent white opal beads for a […]
A Lifeway Visit {Five Minute Friday}
I stood in the middle of the Lifeway store and looked around me. My sister-in-law had a gift item that needed returned and I was glad to visit an actual, real life, Lifeway storefront. I’d shopped Lifeway online, but never stepped foot inside one of their stores. I felt at home as I looked at all […]
Washi Tape ClipBoard
{affiliate links included} This is another one of Renae’s projects. I think someone as craft-challenged as myself could even handle this! 😉 I’m pretty sure she saw this idea on Pinterest and I had several clipboards around and I had washi tape in amongst my ribbon and gift packaging stuff. It really does look fun […]
Memoir Monday {No. 60}
It’s not Monday anymore, but it seems like Monday to me, because we were gone over the weekend and didn’t get home till last evening. So, my stuff-to-do-today, is my Monday type stuff. Thus, I will just post a Monday post because I’d like to post it and it makes it easier to categorize the […]
Sacred Marriage and Where Did God Come From {Giveaway}
I was sorting through some stuff and I found I have an extra copy of one of my favorite marriage books and an extra dvd by Ken Ham. I decided they would make a fun giveaway. I like books and I like gifts and I like giveaways. So it just works out! 🙂 The book […]
