We’re headed into our fourth week of school for our little lass and I must admit, apart from getting to spend precious time alone with my sweet Bug, one of my favorite parts of her being in preschool is getting to pack her lunch. I love it! Because I’m easy to please like that. And because I love punching cheese… Read More
At The Well: Guest Post {2 Ears, 1 Mouth}
I get that mixed up on occasion. I tend to live the Picasso life…as though my face boasted two mouths and one little ear. And I mean little. The book of James is a fabulous {challenging…convicting} reminder to tend to the often malfunctioning filter on my flapping tongue, and to open my ears instead… {read this guest post here}
At The Well: Guest Post {Perfect Peace}
Yes, you’ve seen this photo before! I love it! And I couldn’t wait until this guest post was published, so I turned it into August’s desktop wallpaper and shared it 2 weeks ago! Impatient…who me? Do you struggle with trusting God? With every thing? With the big things? And the small? And the everyday, seemingly-trivial details of life? Marinade your… Read More
Scriptures for {Weary} Mums
I don’t know about you, but I need clear reminders, throughout the day, of how to behave. {Oh, be-have!} Stop laughing. I’m serious. In the midst of upturned bowls of tomato soup, leaky diapers, sassy ‘tudes and unfinished adult conversations…I need to be reminded how to love well. With patience, compassion, kindness, grace, hope…and perseverance. Bucket loads of perseverance. So… Read More
At The Well: Guest Post {plus August Desktop Wallpaper}
Do the words ‘weary’ and ‘burdened’ resonate at all with you? They sure do with me! And quite possibly every other human being I know. Here’s a good reminder for you: At The Well: Guest Post Want another reminder to help keep your heart nestled safely in the hands of God, rather than caught up in the tizzy of… Read More
At The Well: Guest Post {Far More Valuable}
Read this post here: At The Well {And yes, I have been mildly obsessed with the bird life in my yard this season. Be thankful…it’s more invigorating than my potato plants, which you’ll be seeing soon!}
At The Well: Guest Post {The Ultimate Plan Review}
I’m a born list maker. A passionate, type-A list maker. The need for uncluttered organization in my life is evidenced by the sheer quantity of baskets and totes I own. They neatly hold my household together behind the scenes. Purging, cleaning and organization thrill me to no end. Maybe it’s the sense of peace it provides in the daily whirl… Read More
{Proud as a Peacock} July Desktop Wallpaper
I’ve always loved fireworks {especially when my family flew over them on our way home to South Africa one year}, but the actual significance of July fourth never really hit home to me. Until now. You see, this will be my very first Independence Day as a US citizen. Thank you. Thank you very much. And I must say, it’s… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post
It’s easy to rejoice in Him when things are going well, isn’t it? But what about when our world is crashing down around us. What then? Here’s a great verse that’ll help answer this question…check out my post on At The Well. {And again I say Rejoice!}
June Desktop Wallpaper {& Other Thoughts}
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 bods. It’s astounding. Wasn’t I… Read More
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 {even though I try not… Read More
