Totally Awesome, Super-Cool Bible Stories as drawn by Nerdy Ned I’m really excited to share with you today’s book. How many times have you heard people talk about how difficult it is to find things for boys ages 6-10? When this came to my door a few weeks ago I flipped through and read some lessons out loud. It’s one of those books that you can’t help but talk in a game show voice. Reading through it I thought of {Read More}
This Christmas Challenge has a lot of you asking questions of me…. here are a few answers. I have to be careful sharing Christmas presents on here, because my family reads this. I can share what my husband has been working on. After long hours at the store, he heads out into the garage and works on cutting boards. Cherry wood cut, planed, sanded and oiled to perfection. I’ve been busy in my sewing room. I will be sharing soon {Read More}
Rambunctious, Energetic, Full of Joy…. These are words to describe my daughter. Moving constantly she listens to books as she sways back and forth, or taps her feet. With the My Christmas Storybook Bible it was different. This book geared for 2-6 year olds brought a sweet change. She sat still. Enthralled. Taking in every word. Each page brings a short story, poem, song, prayer or verse. The endearing pictures are attractive to my 4 year old daughter and {Read More}

The other day I shared this Christmas Challenge we’re taking as a family to not spend one dollar on Christmas presents. Weird, I know. You can read more here. This is not a challenge so we can brag about it. The presents won’t be perfect, but there will be a lot of love and thought going into them. For example, last February I thrifted a crib dust ruffle. I took it yesterday and made 2 ruffled aprons out of it. {Read More}
Christmas is just around the corner. The carols and hymns play while I sip my coffee. I am sitting at a local coffee shop watching the snow flakes dance in the air before hitting the ground. Around this time, I pull out the gifts that I’ve already purchased throughout the year and make a list of what I still need to buy. This year we’re doing things differently. My husband and I decided that we’re not spending any money. Say {Read More}
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a personal trainer, dietician, cook and beautician everyday? I have. Today I’m sharing what this looks like over at History Diaries while Rebecca takes some time for her studies. At 22 I was at the top of my game. Running every day, fit, drinking a pot of coffee, rockin’ the good grades and a beautiful head of brown curly hair. A few wrinkles were just introducing themselves to my {Read More}
Rest & relaxation We hit the road to northern Michigan last week for some much needed R&R. Suitcases packed to the ceiling we hit the highway for a ski resort in off season. Here’s a bit of what we kept busy with. My husband and I got a ride to the top of the ski hill and played a round of disc golf. (He played, I walked….it would’ve taken h.o.u.r.s. otherwise.) We stopped at a scenic overlook on a foggy {Read More}
I wake up this beautiful morning in a strange bed. Crawling out of bed, I head to the living room to write. My mind is swirling with ideas and I cannot get past the fact that this long awaited vacation is half-over. The sheet covered couch greets me as I attempt to connect to the internet. The kids had beat me to it and messed up the connection to the wall playing with the “old-school” phone days prior. Now I {Read More}
Just 3 weeks ago my sewing room looked like this. One project after another without taking the time to pick things up in-between and I was swimming in clutter. A few hours later and a bit of shifting furniture I am in love with the progress and direction of this room. No longer just for sewing and crafting, it is now a place I write. And to not give you the false sense that I have everything together, here’s {Read More}
