I’m convinced tables in the living room are meant for cutting open little boys’ faces, no matter how rounded the corners are or how chubby the little boys’ faces!
All in a day’s time, we might see a cut by the eye, a pitcher of sweet tea spilled in the fridge, an unhealthy lunch of PB&J, [...]
I got inspired a year or so ago to try my hand at apron-making. I truly enjoyed the process and the result. One I gave to my sister-in-law, and the other I gave to my cherished art/soul companion. I’ll be working again here soon on a couple of others that I’ll share after they are [...]
Do I know if spiritfully is a word? Not really. For my purposes it works, and I think you understand what it means, too.
This past weekend was the women’s retreat I’ve raved about before, and as ever, it was delightful, ethereal and truly blessed. The retreat takes place up on a mountain, right on the [...]
As you’re getting this, I am off amidst a group of wonderful women at our annual Time for JOY retreat. You needn’t envy me. Just visit our site and plan on coming next year . . . if you’re a woman, of course!
Since the first year of the retreat here in Arkansas, I’ve been hooked. [...]
With Mother’s Day coming up, this might be a nice way you can honor the special women at your table for special luncheons or dinners. My daughter had me make a place card for her last year that she liked to put on her desk or nightstand — any place to mark as her own [...]
The skies just darkened and the rain’s pouring down. It’s a day to do some indoor craft-time but not ideal for being on the computer. I have what feels like a billion cards to make, giving thanks and birthday wishes to many, so I’m going to do that in just a bit.

Spring awakens my senses, surging through my veins a desire to grow towards the sun, all the while digging my fingers deeper into the soil. ‘Tis the season when the blossoming, growth and fertility all around us reflects the same within most of us, and it is a wonderful time to be alive.
Thinking of all [...]
One thing at a time. It’s not one day at a time. It’s like labor. You cannot take another ten hours of contractions, but you can take this one right now.
Perhaps it was because of my 37-week pregnant belly, my rambunctious two-year-old and my five- and seven-year old chattering at me that I got a [...]
Storms and all, Spring is definitely here, and I guess I’d rather stay up way too late cleaning than waste precious daylight. The kiddos and I got our jump start on gardening, getting the straw for much. What is some straw in the garden without the strawberries? I bought two root bundles — that means [...]
Remember me sharing that we went for a hike a couple of weeks ago, stopping by the pottery shop afterwards? It rained on that hike, especially hard when we actually got to the waterfall. My kids are still residually snotty from their colds, but I wouldn’t trade that day with family and friends for anything.
