He’s on the mend from a 3 ligament tear on the court in our hometown this past weekend.  His spirits are high and he has great support.

“You’ll never know how STRONG you are, until being strong is the only option you have left.”

This speaks to me, how about you??

The A to Z of Me {C is for Cottage}

Got this cool idea from Tina Gray {dot} Me! She’s a great blogger and one of my new favorites!

I’ve decided that every Monday {hopefully} I will do a letter about me.  Why? Well, why not?:)

{C is for Cottage}

Cottage: simple, charming, cozy, comfort

8a9139b9e5fc4166743d42c6d14d0733 7e0bc8e0ca34526e6f6867bc44226423 16e7017b7da9fb0a1a23cf3b1db154e5 323b205f874f0c1d115629edd9b193b2 ba535c8f7def2b2edb3e4639142f1d0a

Yep, these pics via Pinterest make my heart speed up a little!  Who knew I was a cottagy kinda girl! Although I LOVE bold  colors, the older I get the more I see myself moving towards this style.  It’s non fussy, simplistic, and go with the flow feel fits with where I am in my life.  Maybe it’s the sign of moving out of my 30′s soon?  I love it and I’m slowly but surely making cottage waves in my own home! The soft colors, the coziness, the imperfection of it all just makes it perfect for me.  Can’t you just see me with my coffee sitting by those flowers?? Don’t even get me started about the kitchen, I think I can pull it off ya’ll! And guess what? Hubby said yes to making me a cottage farmhouse table like the one pictured! Yippee!

C is for Cottage. {my current obsession}

Stop by next Monday for The A to Z of Me {D is for….}

impromptu heart check.

She’s a relentless student of God’s Word.  There is rarely a morning or evening that I don’t see her nose in the Bible.  Yep, my heart swells with joy.  Occasionally as I’m passing through she will ask me a question about a verse or the pronunciation of a word.  Yesterday the questions led to sort [...]

Just finished blowing the dust off of my blog…. It’s been awhile my friends. I don’t know how that happens, one minute you think you’re an established writer and BOOM, silence. Well I’m back! When my California Bestie and I lose touch for a few hours, one of us usually sends a text to the [...]

Kids: How To…

354107c9819df26d7ad6b980b40ce09a

I believe God created us all unique, different and special. I believe there is no one else on this earth like us.  We are hand carved, delicately and on purpose. Psalm 139: 13-15 For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I will confess and praise You for You are [...]

grow up if you must.

So they say you have to let them grow up… This kid came to this earth in a suit I tell ya!  He LOVES dressing up or looking “sharp” as his grandma calls it, he always has.  We would have to hide his dress clothes from him, so he would not play “preacher” in them. [...]

welcome-to-kansas

I am proud to say I’m from Kansas.  I no longer live there, but that’s my home.  It seems weird to be from Kansas, but I am.  For many years I thought I didn’t like my state, but now that I’m older and wiser, I can truly say I love my Kansas.  It’s the place [...]
