the sweetest name
“Jesus – the name that charms our fears. That bids our sorrows cease. ‘Tis music to the sinner’s ears, ’tis life and joy and peace.” What other name will give hope when you’re hopeless?

enjoy these years
Last week, my kids and I visited a sweet couple in our church. We filled the crockpot with chili, brought a bag of books, and a million other accessories such as sour cream + cheese, diapers + wipes, pants + underwear {for my potty-training 2 year old}, and the all important blankie for Miles. Say…

needy.
Needy: being in want. I’ve been feeling pretty needy lately. Not ‘needy’ in a financial or physical sense. I mean, I recognize I’m not the wealthiest person in the world and my body is falling apart.

I’m all about a good do-it-yourself project. And if it adds organization to my life? BRING. IT. ON. So when I saw this image on pinterest, I was like, “Yes! I need this in my life!” So I went to the store, bought a pack of shower curtain rings and set up my own personal…
