What’s My Niche?
Personal post alert. Don’t read if you find yourself allergic to such things. End of disclaimer. Yesterday, I read a beautifully written post by Mary Beth from Annapolis & Company entitled, “On Finding Your Niche…” It especially caught my attention because I’ve been wondering about this & talking with Jonathan about it for…oh…a while now.…

Dare to Compare {or not}
I’ll admit it – I’m a fan of Pinterest. I’ve gotten awesome recipes, decor ideas, and general inspiration from the site. If they close down or start charging $ to use their site, I will mourn (very briefly) the absence from my homemaking life. But there’s something with Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and really any social…

Ditch Your Goals
It’s the middle of April. How are you doing on the goals you set in January? Yikes. I really just went there. I am a firm believer in making goals. I’m also a big proponent of following through & reaching those goals. But sometimes you need to ditch your goals. Wisdom is not only in…

Is Facebook Ruining Your Friendships?
Facebook is ruining your friendships. Or, at least, it could be. You say, “What? I have more friends now than I’ve ever had before!” Consider this: how many of them are truly your friends? Of course, we all have exceptions to the facebook friends thing. I would guess most of you have at least 1…

Looking for fulfillment? There’s only one place to find it. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; … Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.” Isaiah 55:2-6 Where are you looking for fulfillment?

The One Item Every Kitchen Should Own
Would you like to hear a love story? Of course you would. Several months ago, Jonathan got me something for my birthday that changed my cooking world. Enter the best knife I’ve ever used: Yes, folks, although you might not realize it, you are looking at the greatest knife ever. If I could go back…

My Goals {2013 Edition}
Happy New Year to you! I hope you have had a great first week of 2013. I mentioned on facebook that I was taking some time off last week from my normal posting. It’s always nice to take a break, isn’t it? We packed up the kiddos & headed to Virginia to visit my family…

Giving {thanks}
Have you ever come across this verse & been stumped? “giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” {Ephesians 5:20} Oh, it’s easy to pull out that verse during happy times – a new baby, a wedding day, perhaps a financial blessing. But what about during trials – big…

You Need This
Have you been to the mall lately? Or retail shopping? Last Saturday, I went to the mall with my family. I love showing my kiddos the big, beautiful Christmas tree in the center of the mall. And, of course, Santa is already there – even though the calendar has not yet been turned to “December.” Anna…

31 Days of…
Last year, I decided to do something crazy during the month of October. It was known as blogging-every-single-day. I called it 31 Days of Building Your Marriage. It turned out to be a great series that was both an encouragement and conviction. In fact, I’m re-posting it on my facebook page this month. This year, I…
