Links I Love
First of all – hallelujah it’s Friday. This week has seemed longer than usual for some reason, and as soon as my man gets home tonight, the party is ON. Even if the party being on means we stay in PJs most of Saturday. But of course, we always have things we want/need to…

DIY Glitter Bottle
Just a little do it yourself project to share today. DIY Glitter Bottle, anyone? This is a pretty simple project made possible by a recent influx of glittery goodness that arrived at my doorstep.

You are the Light
Last week, I was shopping at Aldi in intensely h.o.t. weather. As I was sweatily putting groceries into my car, another vehicle parked right next to me. A lady jumped out of the passenger seat and came up to me. “Can I have your cart?” she asked, holding out 25 cents in exchange. “Oh, sure!”…

My ABC Bible Verses :: book review
Last Christmas, my brother and sister-in-law sent us an amazon gift card. {side note: I am not a paid advertiser for amazon, but for all the things I link to, I think they should at least send me a candy bar. Or some dried cherries. *ahem*} Anyway, I was pretty excited about my shopping spree via…

Let’s Add Some Color
One of my goals for 2013 is to make my home “more beautiful and personal.” My sub-goal is to add more color. So, I’ve been working on adding color to my living room this year. So far, I’ve managed to do it all with a $20 gift card I received for Christmas. Score. {I also bought…

1. this song has been on repeat for the past 2 weeks. If you have 99 cents to spare, I highly suggest using it to buy this track, go read the words from this site, and worship Jesus. 2. a friend sent me this topcoat a while ago and it has made painting my fingernails…
