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
Camping Prep & the Baby Face
We’re headed out to the west side of the State to go camping tomorrow. You know, the ‘sleeping in a tent’ type camping. For 3 days and 2 nights. With our children. For the first time ever. Yes, we’re crazy. And no, we haven’t a clue what we’re in for. I am both terrified and giddy with excitement, all at… 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!}
I was Weeding the Vegetable Garden…
{and other lame excuses for why I’ve been such a delinquent blogger lately} I was busy growing sprouts… I was locking myself, my children and our pup out of our house while my husband slept soundly in our room. Good thing one of our screens doesn’t lock properly into it’s window and Bean was willing to slither in through the… Read More
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.

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!}
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 yet your heavenly Father feeds… Read More
Fabulous Hannah {the Photoshoot}
This morning I had my first un-official, non-loin-fruit photo shoot. And it was a treat! While the air was frigid, the diffused {read: cloudy} lighting and hair-tossing wind was perfect! Not to mention the subject. It’s amazing how looking at someone through the lens of a camera can change how you see them. What appeared ordinary becomes extraordinary. Simple. … Read More

And then {re}read ‘Processing Life’ over at Inner Fulfillment. {And, while you’re following instructions, why don’t you go and stand outside for a moment, eyes closed, chin up. Let the breeze nip your nose and the sun kiss your cheeks, and soak in all the… Read More
