Beautiful Calling

 (the wall art is my DH’s) Well if I was hesitant about the first assignment of Project: Simplify (the Master Bedroom Closet), I was crestfallen to hear that paper clutter would be the second challenge. My home is pretty organized. I wouldn’t be embarrassed to have drop in guests at any time, with the exception [...]

Participating in the first challenge of Project: Simplify! I tackled my master bedroom closet. The Details: My husband and I share a walk in closet, about 8’x5’ I’d say.

I remember when my husband and I first looked at the model home before building ours and I said jokingly {but not really joking} that we would have to hire a cleaning lady because of all the tile. The main floor has a lot of it and then there are 4 bathrooms! Un-Maintainable Standards I [...]

Christmas Morning 2010 {Their new Christmas Eve Pj’s from my parents say “Don’t wake me, I’ll wake you!” which is very fitting if you know my early-rising tots!} I love Christmas! I love the decorations, the excitement, anticipation, family, friends, food, gifts and of course, celebrating the marvel of our Savior’s birth! My mother used [...]

    robert.molinarius Quitter. The word brings to mind negative thoughts along with feelings of failure, of lacking in determination, of giving up and being defeated. I became an Epicure Consultant. That took courage. To take that first step and sign up then to plunge in wholeheartedly; leaving my comfort zone far behind. I’m not always [...]

      Photo by LiminalMike “I kin do it mysef!” As the mother of two tots, I hear that a lot. Many times, it is then followed by an excited, “Mom, I did do it all by myself!” which makes me so proud. But more often than not, when it comes to my little 2 year [...]
