Beautiful Calling

Yes, you read it right. I am a princess! A daughter of the King of kings, royalty, joint heirs with Christ. I’ve got a mansion waiting for me. I wonder if it is pink? Maybe you’re a princess too – that would make us princess sisters! I am following the series It’s a Real Job [...]

What is a Beautiful Calling? When I chose the name for my blog, I was mostly thinking of my calling to be wife, mother and keeper of my home. Upon further reflection though, Beautiful Calling has another application. Any woman, of any age in any season, who is in the Will of God is fulfilling [...]

Once upon a time I had this crazy and flawed idea that I needed to do everything every day. Each day I would start at one end of the house and try and clean the whole thing. It never never happened (it’s a big house and I have little ones). Each day I was left [...]

Thanks to my mother and her Value Village bargains – John is all ready for those April showers which are soon to come! Isn’t his little rain hat cute?

When I first told my mother that I was starting a blog – her first response was, “Why?!? You have an awesome life with lots to do already.” She didn’t actually know what a blog was but to her it was synonymous with “wasting time & nothing else to do”. I assure you that I [...]

Well, this morning I have to admit I didn’t shower or dress until 10am! My sweet and wonderful John was up every hour last night! I don’t know what is going on with him. He’s getting over a cold so maybe he’s still having trouble breathing? He’s also putting everything in his mouth so maybe [...]

Why are we here? Revelation 4:11 reminds us that He made us for his pleasure. Our lives need to bring glory and honour to him! Ecclesiastes 12:13 reminds us that our WHOLE duty is to love and obey God. Whole; with our entire life and not just something we do on Sundays or when it [...]

For those of you who don’t know – Cloth diapering no longer has to include pins, folding and everything that it used to entail. They have come up with many new diapers – most of which fasten in some way with velcro. It is now easier than ever to use cloth.   Now, admittedly it [...]

I have discovered that I love aprons. When I first got married my husband pointed out an apron in a kitchen store we were visiting. I think it was more of a joke since it said “Domestic Diva” and I certainly wasn’t domestic at all! I could hardly cook, had never ironed (successfully at least) [...]
