Continue reading →: the best gift of allHave you ever received a gift that was especially meaningful or memorable? Perhaps it was something you always wanted but could not justify purchasing. Perhaps it was a gift of time, or experience with someone you love. Maybe it was a special note tucked into a card. These special gifts…

Continue reading →: let’s be jolly: ladies’ christmas craft night, plus making christmas banners & assembling a charcuterie boardThe Christmas fun has begun around here. Though the decorating is only half done at our place, we’ve been busy with preparations for some church events: the Christmas parade in town, a fun night out for the ladies, a Christmas concert and gift baskets. Days before our ladies’ evening, I…

Continue reading →: simple fall decor & diy rustic pumpkinsThis fall found us back on the road for several weeks, which found me rather negligent in terms of this blog. Before the Christmas decorations make their appearance, I thought I should take note of the fleeting fall decor. It really doesn’t hang around long, does it? Winter seems to…

Continue reading →: healthy pumpkin muffins: gluten free, dairy free & refined sugar freeFall means pumpkin everything. Amiright? I do believe I like fall for pumpkin-time as much as breaking-out-the-cardigans-time. And that’s saying something, because I do love me my cardigans and boots (I refuse to reveal the number of cardigans and boots I may own). The problem with baking, though, is that the…

Even the cheap-o ones can be…

Continue reading →: it’s all in my head: advent calendarsI seem to be the sort that gets caught up on a tangent. My sister-in-law noticed when I began pinning millions (okay…a bit of an exaggeration) of short hair styles on Pinterest. She texted me with a, “Are you cutting your hair?!?” to which I responded, “I’m thinking about it.…

This summer was what not what I had planned. While that’s not necessarily a huge shocker, it did go much differently than I could have imagined. In my last post (which was, sadly, a long time ago), I mentioned that the summer was filled with people. That part did not…

Continue reading →: MIA
Well, it seems I’ve been MIA. I hope you’re having a fantastic summer with lots of reenergizing and reconnecting time. We finished our homeschooling at the end of May so as to prepare for a busy summer. And what a busy summer it’s been! It’s a summer centred around people–family,…

Continue reading →: trippin’: packing a carry-onAs I mentioned last time, my closet purge began when I needed to pack for a trip down South. It was back in March, and the weather here was still very wintery. Yes, this is what March looks like where I live. Bear in mind, also, that the airport is…

Continue reading →: spring cleaning ~ closet purgeSo… I was going to wait to do this until I was finished my spring cleaning, but it’s been a bit of a slow process around here. It seems the warm weather motivated y’all long ago, but we still have the furnace going most days around here. I did begin…
