Yesterday I went on a field trip with two of my boys to the Performing Arts Center where a man performed through a bit of humor and the touch of the ivory keys while recounting the history and anatomy of a piano. While the kids were educated and entertained, my heart was moved by the intermittent strokes of Bach and Beethoven, music I had grown …
Before I jump into today’s post and a fun creative piece, I want to take time again to thank you for all the encouragement I’ve received from you all on the last two posts. I laid my heart out there for you to see, and your response has been overwhelming. Thank you for your following, for your comments, likes and …
It’s been about three years since I’ve started on this blog journey. Only two and a half years since I launched, but there is a lot that goes into a flight plan before you are ready for takeoff. In this place I have been reflecting a lot. Reflecting on the journey that has brought me this far, and looking ahead …
This January, I’ve been reflecting; walking through healing in my own life this past year and seeing grace for what it is. The hardest times in our lives always have the most residual grace. January is always hard for me. A month of utter darkness and a crash from the delight of Christmas leaves me struggling every single year. I …
Dear Sir John Harrington, I know this may seem a bit odd, although, I know you have resolved to live with unique labels yourself, but I am writing to you from the future.

After the glimmer and the sparkle of the holidays have come and gone, January can be left feeling in an in-eloquent sense very blah. The vast majority of home style blogs focus on reorganizing and decluttering in January. I suppose for those living in the more southern states, you can put away Christmas, sparkle, and lights and still look forward to …
Decorating for Christmas has always been important to me. I know, you’re all shocked. Ha. But I remember even in my freshman college dorm room going all out. Amidst studying for finals, my roommate and I made dozens of snowflakes and hung them at varying lengths from the ceiling. At the end of the room, we had a small artificial …
First off, I just want to thank you again for your encouragement. All the comments after my last post, you guys blew me away. Thank you! It’s truly such an incredible blessing to be able to use my gifts and see it bless others. Thank you for the love, the shares, comments, likes and subscriptions. My house is dressed up …
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We sure did. We also had some hiccups with the Christmas tree and a sick kid on Thanksgiving, but over all, it was such a relaxing, blessed weekend spent with family, (and decorating for Christmas of course). I want to thank you all so much for the encouragement from the last …
