Five on Friday

March 1, 2014 by Sarah

Today, I'm linking up for Five on Friday!  It's been a great week! {ONE} Last week, Savannah had her first cleaning at the dentist.  She went with me the past couple of times and didn't seem scared, but I wasn't sure how she would do when it was her turn in the chair.  She did fantastically well, but our dentist warned us to start saving now for braces.  Apparently, she … [Read more...]

6 Tips for Every Introvert Mom {to feel renewed & recharged}

February 26, 2014 by Sarah

There's really no way around it.  Being a mother is hard word and very tiring tiring.  The job is 24/7 and you are always on call.  I believe it's the best job in the world, but certainly a demanding one.  If you are an introvert mom like me, then your job as mom is even  more complex. {Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  Read disclosure here.} I love being social {although crowds … [Read more...]

6 Reasons I am Hooked on Downton Abbey

February 25, 2014 by Sarah

I wasn't planning to post about this today, but changed my mind after the afternoon I had watching Downton Abbey.  I am late to the series and even though the finale to season 4 aired last night, I just finished up season 3 while the kids napped today.   As you can imagine if you watch the show for yourself, I am not a happy woman at this point.  I even thought about giving up … [Read more...]

Frugal Fashion Friday – The Bubble Necklace

February 21, 2014 by Sarah

I have no idea how long the bubble necklace trend has been going on, but I have definitely fallen in love with them.  A year ago I probably wouldn't have even considered wearing one, thinking they were far too formal to make it into my "Mom wardrobe." I kept seeing them all over the internet though, oftentimes styled with nothing more than a plain t-shirt or a chambray shirt.  That … [Read more...]

I'm actually cleaning/dusting the ceiling fan in our guest room. I saw this tip years ago and I've been doing it ever since, although probably not as often as I should! 🤪

Snag an old pillowcase and drag it off each blade so the dust stays inside of it. Then, wash it in your next laundry load for easy clean up!

This is where the meal magic happens in our house. This is where the meal magic happens in our house.  Don't ever let anyone convince you that you have to have a large (and often expensive) kitchen in order to feed your family.

Is there anything wrong with a large and expensive kitchen?  Nope!

Can they be helpful?  Absolutely!

This house was built in the 1940s and likely housed a family our size, or maybe larger.  It's amazing to think how our concept of wants and needs have changed since then.

Maybe someday we'll have a larger kitchen, but for now, I'm thankful that this small kitchen allows me to have everything at my fingertips quickly! 😁
"The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness "The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness we feel is found not in us but outside of us. The solutions to our problems and pain aren't found in self-love, but in God's love.

The God who created us, who created the universe, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is the one who provides us with the purpose and satisfaction we're seeking. While self love depletes, God's love for us doesn't. He showed us his love by sending Jesus to die for our sins so that we could be forgiven and live forever with him. Self-love is superficial and temporary. God's love is profound and eternal."

"The first myth that you are enough. My counter was this: you're not you'll never be enough, and that's okay, because God is."

--Allie Beth Stuckey
