A Little “Play” Time
I was supposed to go to Six Flags today with a bunch of teenagers, but the heat index today was over 103 degrees, which was way to hot to spend outside all day with my two toddlers, so we stayed home. Around lunch time, when my husband was between roller coaster rides, he called me. “What […]
Do you really think I’m mean?
I had so many people send me e-mails and comments asking for a tutorial and fabric source for my dining room curtains. Come on, ladies! You’re my girls. Do you really think I would leave you all hanging like that? All you have to do is pay $50 for the e-tutorial and I’ll tell you everything! […]
Sneak Peek – Dining Room Curtains
It was a giddy moment when my new curtains went up in my dining room this afternoon. I still have one more panel to make and a few more finishing touches and the dining room will be done**.

Mission accomplished. This is not a foodie blog, but I couldn’t resist sharing a simple and yummy summer […]
What I Look For
When I go shopping, I never know what I’m going to look for or what I’m going to find. There are certain things I always gravitate towards, but I go with an open mind and I am often surprised at what I come home with. These are some of the qualities that catch my eye… Pieces […]
A Tribute to Our Creator
This post is totally off-topic, but I thought I would give you a peek into my life as a youth pastor’s wife. Every year, for a week in late June or early July, a middle-of-nowhere farm in Pennsylvania becomes a tent city of tens of thousands. They are all gathered for one purpose: to celebrate the […]
