Yep, this lady is heading south for the last two weeks of February! I’m taking the kiddos with me and going to visit some friends there. I went to college at Belmont University and met some amazing friends (cough cough 15 years ago). They’ve been up here, but I haven’t hit the road to visit them in awhile. Now that my kids are a bit older I feel a little better about going. I’m also excited to meet some {Read More}

I had a little fun watching the Sunday Night movie and dreaming on Etsy. Here are a few of my finds that I’d love to throw together in an outfit.

Illuminate February Challenge ~ James
January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Print For sale by Linda Robbs Art on Etsy I’ve really been impacted by James. With that said, that’s the next book for the Illuminate challenge for February. Read through James. This way I can feel a bit less on my plate and share with you how much God is moving through His Word in my life right now. Are you in for next month? Do you have a verse to share from this month?

Illuminate I Peter

I Peter - Honestly I’ve felt like I’ve spent a lot more time in the other books. This month I found myself just reading through I Peter just because it was part of our challenge. It’s a phenomenal book, but I just had too much I tried to put on my plate. I just started a Beth Moore study on James. Instead of giving something up, I added to my schedule. The nice thing is that God says this in His Word: {Read More}
My Friends and Sponsors!

Do you read Geeky&Sassy and find a sense of community here? Would you like to share your blog or shop with our readers? I’m going to be re-organizing and de-cluttering my sidebar a bit (thanks to the watchful eyes of Erika and Beth). I get so used to seeing things on blogs that I don’t notice when things start to be too much. So, here’s the monthly deal…. 2 “sweet sponsor” spots ~ these will be sized 150×150 and a {Read More}
Color Inspiration 2012
January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I love color, and with that comes my desire to paint. I don’t know if it has to do with the fact that I’m trying to cover up toddler fingerprints or that my taste changes so fast! Every month I get House Beautiful in the mailbox, sit down and dog ear page after page with my cup of decaf coffee. Some people look at those magazines and find themselves angry about the fact that they “don’t have” or “can’t have”…..I sit {Read More}

Valentines Message Pillows
January 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
When thinking of Valentine’s Day it’s hard not to think of the candy hearts with messages. Playing with that idea a bit I wondered what a pillow would look like with secret messages for my hubby. Maybe picking a certain side of the pillow to place up on the bed…. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth- for your love is more delightful than wine. ~ Song of Solomon 1:2 (NIV) Now I have pillows to {Read More}

I have a “thing” for vintage kitchen items. A few items I have sitting out in my dining area. From left to right - purple pitcher and red vase - made by my husband before we met. Seriously peeps, he’s crafty! The mustard yellow pitcher we snagged at our neighbor’s garage sale for $1. The green mugs for 29 cents a piece and the black pot for 99 cents. (We’ve had a lot of cloudy days - so here are {Read More}
Joy Whenever
January 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I get the question; “How do you get your quiet time in when you have two little ones?” My answer? I put on the Sprout channel or give them the iPad to play games. Or I have helpers with their cereal all over. Ideal? No. This is my reality. I loved this picture with the title of my study being “Joy Whenever”…. Joy whenever I get to watch my kids welcome daddy back home from work. Joy whenever I {Read More}
