Where Passion & Purpose Collide
So this week’s printable is a bit of an odd ball. It involves a leg, money and language barriers. Let me explain. When we first moved to the US, I was a freshman in high school and had absolutely no grasp of the “Spanish” language. After all, isn’t that what they speak in Spain? And why on earth should I… Read More
Happy birthday, precious girl! You’re 6 already…where has the time gone? It seems like just a little while ago that you were kicking on the inside as we folded little pink onesies and waited with baited breath for your arrival. Alathea Grace, you are so perfectly named. Truth and grace; two things that abound in your character. You are so… Read More
I’ve been amazed by the response to the Family Rules {Printable} I posted a while back. It’s been repinned more than any other printable I’ve ever posted, and I continue to hear from wives whose hearts have been captured, or rather tugged, by it. Why? Because it was designed specifically for Law Enforcement families and because, well…this is a unique… Read More
Firstly, congrats to Caitlin & Erica, winners of the Pumpkin & Parsnip giveaway. Thanks to fumbly little fingers, there were two winners. And a 25% off coupon for all those who participated. Lucky you! Secondly, while we’ve discovered we’re not dog people, or cat people for that matter…we are now officially chicken people. I used to think this type of… Read More
If you know anything about me, you know that I’m surrounded by incredible women. Wicked cool incredible women. Women who know how to make stupid look cool. It’s a gift. Between my female family members, friends and neighbors…I am one lucky duck, people. While all 4 of us Douglas girls gained a hefty strand of creativity in our DNA, my… Read More
{If you missed part 1? Check it out right here} If every human being has a driving need for security, significance and strength – including the little ones hanging onto our ankles – then we as parents have to be intentional about seeking out opportunities to instill and cultivate these qualities in their young lives. Here’s a list of 10… Read More
I’ve been waiting for the perfect occasion to use this photo I snapped at a mountain zoo in Colorado last summer. I LOVE everything it represents…the detail it captures, and all the emotion it evokes. This little babe had been born just 6 days prior to our visit and it took everything in me to peel myself away from the… Read More
It has only been a million years since I blogged anything deep or thought-provoking, and today’s post won’t do anything for the average depth of post {re: shallow}, because what lies below is a compilation of random, completely disconnected snippets to give you a nutshell glimpse, albeit a substantial nutshell, of what’s been going on in our crazy little world… Read More
Our kidlets have been battling colds and coughs on and off for the past few weeks, so getting them out into the snow this past weekend was just what we they needed. As I sat facing backwards, behind my hubby on the ATV, soaking in the sun and basking in all the glory of their delighted shrieks as they slid,… Read More
It’s beginning to look hearty-farty around here, and while I have yet to become a wreath crafting, mantle decorating mad-woman {which I fully intend to be some day}, I’m trying my darndest to be more seasonally astute. And with this colorful display of VD prowess {that would be Valentines Day, not venereal disease, just to clarify}, I have officially graduated… Read More
Remember these fabulous, squishy little things we ‘grew’ a while back? Well, we felt we could knock it up a notch by putting food coloring to good use {rather than, you know, adding neurotoxins to our food) and adding a pop of color to these little gems. Instead of soaking the water beads {I got ours on Amazon} in clear… Read More
I’m tickled pink to be sharing my messy story of redemption with another group of women this weekend. I love, love, LOVE sharing my heart…my brokenness…His goodness with others who ache to know their Creator hasn’t abandoned them, that He is intricately involved in the details of their lives – even if behind the scenes, that He is big enough… Read More
