Life is hard sometimes. It seems like there is always some kind of a struggle going on. Something that God is working on in my heart. Every single day. He never promised that life would easy. But He does promise that He is with us every step of the way. What an incredible promise. There […]

Hi friends! The past week has been full of work, family, more work, a fun video shoot, and balancing it all with a lazy-as-can-be Sunday. We have grown quite addicted to sitting around the fire on cold winter days doing nothing.  Sometimes writing. Sometimes reading a book. But mostly, just doing nothing. It’s the best. […]

1. There is just nothing that compares to having a sparkling clean house, is there? Not for me, anyway. Such a great feeling to have beddings washed, closets cleaned out and organized, floors mopped….aaahhh. I’m enjoying the feeling while it lasts. 2. We have so many blankets in the family room and I’ve found a […]

There is a lot of kid-chasing, screaming, and laughing that goes on in this house.  Want to put a swimsuit on and pretend we’re at the beach? Why not. Pretties around the house that make me smile. It’s not perfect, but that’s just fine. Girls’ rooms… This makes me want to go upstairs and crawl […]

Sheesh, I can’t believe how the past few weeks have just seemed to fly by. Literally. I guess that means I’m getting old. I’ve added a sign to the shop this morning. One of my all-time favorite verses. It’s made from part of an old barn door that we found. Well, I hear Violet pulling […]

Good morning friends! Every Monday I will be adding NEW signs to my shop, so if you’ve been waiting for the perfect sign, tune in on Mondays to see what I have available! I just listed this gorgeous sign made out of an antique barn door. And I’m pretty excited about it.  Isn’t she pretty? […]

My new friend Shelly asked me to decorate the craft room/homeschool room in her beautiful new home. I had so much fun coming up with ideas for the space.  Here are some “before” pics… And here’s what I added to the space… I printed these free alphabet printables and placed them on the wall inside […]

Happy Monday! I’m loving the bright sunshine and beautiful snow outside today! It is winter at it’s best. I added a few barn wood signs to the shop this morning. Here’s the first one… And the second one… I also made some changes to my business. I’ve decided close my Etsy shop and move all […]

I just added this sign to my shop this morning. I happen to love this hymn and thought it would be a sweet sign in honor of Valentine’s Day. If you are interested in purchasing it, click here. Keep in mind that this is a one-of-a-kind sign, and I only have ONE available, so scoop […]

Seeing Violet in pigtails this morning reminded me of how much she looks like Avery did at her age. They are a lot alike. And A LOT different. It’s so interesting. Avery has always been fairly easy, loves to craft, doesn’t really like reading that much, takes her time with things, and is very cautious […]
