I did it! 90 days of P90x. Whew! It was tough, but I really enjoyed it and I am very happy with the results. I’m going to say upfront that I am not affiliated with P90x or Beachbody (the company that makes these workout videos) and I bought this program on my own, because I […]
Summer, Fabric, a Rug, the Vanity & Tunes

This is our first real summer as a family of four. You know – experiencing summer as a 2 1/2 month break from a five-full-day-a-week school schedule. I find that I waffle between wanting to give my kids the kind of summer memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives and really looking […]
Haven, Becoming & Goin’ to the Chapel

We’re going to be homebodies for most of the summer, but all of that changes in August. I’m going to be doing some professional and personal travel and I hope to meet some of you along the way. My first stop is the Haven Conference (August 1-3 in Atlanta, GA.) Would you believe this is […]

A Lesson from Rockefeller

Today was one of those days. I had a lot that I wanted to accomplish and I was productive to a point, but then I got hung up and couldn’t work on the projects I wanted to work on, which resulted in frustration and wanting to chuck my sewing machine out the window and eat […]
Inspirational Shop Space – The Ironstone Nest

You might think that I’m super organized when it comes to my blog. That I have some fancy calendar where I schedule my posts months in advance. That would be a totally rational assumption, since it is my business, after all. That assumption would be wrong, though. I just blog on the fly. I’ve tried […]
