Book Review: Adorned Tim Challies wrote a review about this wonderful book - Adorned. I just ordered it and can't wait to see how Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth blesses us as readers. I can't wait to read it! If You're Looking for Romance.... Another awesome post by Melissa about true romance in marriage. "Someday when I’m sitting in a rocking chair looking back over our life together, it won’t be the big trips or the diamond rings...

A few months ago I was looking for encouragement - something for this weary pilot's wife who felt worn out and exhausted. The aviation industry can be very hard on family life. We strive as Christian parents to raise our kids up in God's truth and want to display that practically as well in our lives as we serve others in love & hospitality and stay strongly involved in our local church. I turned to...
This year was the first that I decide to embark on making Christmas sugar cookies. I tend to stick to pain free, simple Christmas baking. I not overly skilled in the kitchen.. as most of you probably know, so I waited till my wonderful hubby was home so he could help me NOT screw up the recipe.

My sister in law was creating a box of encouragements for a friend the other day and asked if I have ever designed "promise cards".

A few posts ago I mentioned the memory verse cards that I was creating for myself, to help me memorize scripture, well these are a lot like that. They...

My friend Nicole came over the other day and was sharing with me an idea of felt books made for children (find examples here), they are SO NEAT! Nicole inspired me to make a board book for Emma, one which I was going to buy here. But WHY NOT create it myself. Its no gorgeous felt book, but its really great for her age right now. I'll work on the felt when she might appreciate...
I've been thinking about what to do with my Christmas greeting this year. Since we are on a new budget (as I recently resigned from Compassion to stay home full time with Emma - yay!) I decided that getting cards printed, even though I design them, is a bit more then I would like to spend this year, so I am trying to get resourceful. I decided to do a fun little "year in review"...
Emma has ben busy getting her eye teeth in all week... so if you're a mom I am sure you can imagine what my week has been like. Here are some wonderful links I'd love to share this week. I really enjoyed reading Kristi's post Reading the Bible vs. Studying the Bible: What’s the Difference? over on And Babies Don't Keep (off topic: her blog title comes from a poem that pulls at my heart strings) Anyways,...
