Balancing the Good Things in Life
It never fails. When the calendar rolls around to October and I start my search for some new fall decor items in blue, they are scarce. I do love the blue and white pumpkins that are more plentiful than ever, but you can only place so many pumpkins around your home before it begins to […]
As a parent, sooner or later you’ll be teaching your teenager to drive. After a year or so of behind-the-wheel training with you in the passenger seat, they’ll go on to get an unrestricted license. They’ll be thrilled! Even though your teen is now a legally licensed driver, you’re a little nervous. You’ve seen them […]
Do you love the beach so much that you wish you could be there all the time? Me, too! The warm sun, soothing sound of the waves, and feeling of your toes in the sand relaxes like nothing else. How about bringing a bit of that feeling into your home with a coastal decor theme? During […]
Mornings are tough. They can start off in such a hustle to get everyone up, ready, fed, and out the door on time. While the chaotic morning routines are being carried out, you’re going over a mental list of errands and projects that need to be completed. Then you remember some tasks that didn’t get done […]

After much searching, I found this Bible verse. It’s a beautiful message and command from God. Above all, love each other deeply, because love […]
Every year my daughter and I brainstorm ideas for valentine cards. She loves to include candy with her valentines to her friends (maybe because she also loves receiving candy). This year she wanted to create Printable Emoji Valentines! She helped with the verbiage to include and picked out her favorite emojis, and I got busy designing. […]
“Let all that you do be done in love.” It sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it. But it’s not. I find myself needing to be reminded of this verse often. When I’m driving and someone cuts me off. When my children disregard boundaries we’ve set. When I scroll through Facebook and am […]
2017 Word of the Year For the past few years instead of making resolutions I have chosen a Bible verse and word to focus on for the year. Last year was sort of a transition year for me. It was difficult to make specific goals when I didn’t feel I had much of a direction. […]
