I am so excited that it’s time to prepare for Girls Camp! In our church, girls 12-18 have the opportunity to spend a few days at a camp where they not only learn things like first aid, compass reading, fire building, and such, but also have the opportunity to grow as a person, leader, and […]
I wonder if any other craft bloggers will relate to what happened when I showed my boys the cute marshmallow valentines I created. They were, um, less than enthused to give them to their classmates and suddenly spouted out ideas of their own. I could have gotten upset and insisted they use what I made, but […]
Have you ever felt something drifting away from you? I consider it a blessing to experience this feeling often in my life. Once in college, my boyfriend told me that he loved me (over the phone, but that’s beside the point). I knew when he said it that I didn’t feel the same way, but […]

As always, there are some great projects out in blogland this week! I’m thrilled to find ones that are useful to me, my home, and my family. All three this week fit the bill! I hope you find them useful, too! 1. My kids are finally getting old enough to REALLY help around the house […]
If you ever need a quick hair accessory, this might be the one for you. All you need is a strip of fabric, a little felt, some embellishments (if desired), and an elastic headband. I pressed a 1 1/2 by 12 inch strip of fabric into one-inch pleats, then sewed down the middle. I hot […]

Let me introduce you to Joy: “Hi, I’m Joy! As a stay-at-home mom who is often “stuck” at home as we only have one vehicle, I had to find something […]
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. We’re smack in the middle of one of our busiest weekends. Last night was our Trunk or Treat. And yes, for those of you who saw my Facebook post, my three year old did in fact wear his costume happily. Today we had a program practice, […]
When I was in middle school, I was pretty much a nerd. I was in honors classes, I was in the band, and I wore glasses. I had very little fashion sense, and I sure wasn’t anywhere near popular. That’s me on the left. Check those bangs! I was tormented, on occasion, by those who […]
Welcome to Three Things Thursday, where I spotlight some of YOUR projects that I’ve found as I’ve searched through the link parties each week! This week is full of cuteness for little girls. I’m not sure why these jumped out at me, since my “little” girl is now 6 1/2 and she’s probably not getting […]
Alright fellow readers, I have to admit something to you. One thing that kinda bugs me about the blogging world is that it is very easy to get caught up in what I call the blogging race. You feel like you have to keep up with what everyone else is doing, and what they […]

Perhaps you have something a […]
