Happy June, friends! I can’t believe we’re almost halfway through 2011. It’s true what “they” say…the days are long, but the years are short! Boy, is this truth hitting home as I examine the incredible length of my little’s ones legs today and tuck away more clothes that are suddenly too small for their growing […]
{Homemade} Bubble Tea
If you know me at all well, you’ll know I love tea. No, let me rephrase that. I adore tea. Make that: hot, black {British blend}, milky tea. An entire pot of it! I also happen to be quite partial to chai and earl gray. Yes, indeed…tea + me = one happy girl! I’m {only […]

{No Sew} Tutu Tutorial
What you’ll need: * 4-5 yards of tulle (depending on waist size) in whatever colors your heart desires! * thick elastic head band (adult size) * 1 yard of satin ribbon (or 3 yards, if not using elastic for band) * ruler or measuring tape * scissors * delightful friends for delicious company (not necessary, […]
Do Not Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and […]
She Needs A Sister
I assumed I was just training him to be a good husband. Sure he’s not speaking in full sentences yet, but some things just needn’t wait. Like chivalry. And household chores. He will, without fail, follow me into the laundry room, flip over a basket and climb on top so he can help load the […]
The Simply Bloom Revamp
This happened completely and utterly by accident. I promise. Okay, so there’s a slight chance I was coveting the new blog I just designed for a friend of mine and just maybe the idea of a blog face-lift crossed my mind. For a nanosecond. But what happened next caught me completely off guard, I swear […]
This and That {and a lil’ bit of somethin’ else}
We’ve been deliciously busy around here… Creating ginormous lego potties that, fortunately, don’t hold up to any actual “activity”. Breaking out the charcoal and grilling up some veggies {and yes, of course…some meat!} And slappin’ some laundry on the line {seeing sun-dried clothes smell all sorts of glorious!} {I noticed when hanging my hubby’s t-shirts […]
Inner Fulfillment: Ek-Spek-Tey-Shuhn
Revisit a previous post of mine {one of my favorite 25, in fact} right here at Inner Fulfillment today! “A Godly woman is one who possesses inner peace and tranquility: she doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone. Neither does she depend on recognition from others. Hers is an inner contentment and satisfaction based not […]
Ramblings of a Sappy Mom
Maybe it’s because I’ve got Jim Brickman playing softly on Pandora while I frittle away, but I’m feeling awfully nostalgic this evening. No, I’m not pregnant. {I peed on a stick to prove it. One line, folks.} But today, my mommy heart is full. content. in love. My heart swells at the mere thought of […]
