If you’ve sat in our living room and looked out our bay window, you have most likely spotted them; 3 exquisitely unique sculptures that tell the story of “us”. Meticulously crafted from chucks of black soapstone and serpentine, and gathered from 3 completely different places at different stages of our journey, these sculptures depict the […]
A Cider Mill Morning
We spent Saturday morning with a few of our favorite people, soaking up the sunshine at Uncle John’s Cider Mill. Where better to spend these final few days of gorgeous late-Summer-early-Autumn weather than here, sipping cider and eating donuts, playing, having a wagon ride and picking up pumpkins {not to mention my new, sweet little […]
I’m Sorta, Kinda Like A Pumpkin
Why? Because God, in His relentless pursuit of my heart, plucked me up from the dry, dusty ground, took me in, and washed {okay, scrubbed} all the superficial junk off me. I should note, however, that He is far from finished with this tedious crap-removal process. He then carefully cut my top off {sort of […]
The Wild, The Wacky, The Wonderful
…we got to experience it all at the Saginaw Zoo. Well, not all. But you know, we worked through our disappointment {over no lions, or tigers, or bears…oh my}. What we did score out of the deal was a delicious morning of adventure with our new friends, a yummy picnic lunch, and 4 {relatively} well-behaved […]
Rrring Rrrring…
What might you be able to create from a random, cast-off chunk of wood found laying outside the man cave, you ask? {I know, you didn’t ask. But work with me here} Why…a high-tech, state-of-the-art woodular phone, of course! No matter how absorbed you may be in your coloring project, your pretty pink […]
An Upgrade
We are LOVING our new home {that we waited patiently 6 months for} and are most definitely enjoying the gorgeous, colorful, Autumn-infused view from our kitchen/dining room/family room/deck {it’s pretty open plan…you get the idea}. It’s a far cry from our neighbor’s hot tub, which sat a mere 10 feet away from our little kitchen […]
Because You Can’t Live Without This
If you expected this to be a deeply spiritual post…I’m sorry to disappoint you. But I would like to fatten you up! Sort of. It’s about fudge. And it’ll rock your world. So I guess it is deeply spiritual in an unorthodox sort of way. At least that’s what it does to me. It makes […]
The Man {before My Man}
I’ll just put it out there: my husband had some pretty big shoes to fill. Before he came along, I wasn’t sure I’d ever meet anyone quite like the man my mom had met 35+ years ago {who promptly asked her to marry him 4 days later}. Sure, there are plenty of great guys out […]
Creepstatic
Need a little help getting into the Autumn, er…Harvest mood? I’d be glad to assist you. Look what my dad found on the doorpost of their room out in the guest house {the bare-bones-living-space next to the ‘man cave’}: I bet you’d be pumped to spend a weekend with us, out there? Hey. […]
The Beauty of Being. Different.
“God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you.” ~ The Purpose Driven Life
