And the texture is … Continue reading sweet treats series :: chocolate dipped kiwi pops

sunday encouragement with free printables

Sunday is one of my favorite days. In part because it's still the weekend. But the main reason I love Sundays is because of the encouragement I receive from and the community I am a part of at my church, New Song. I've been a church kid since I was born. My mom started taking … Continue reading sunday encouragement with free printables

link party-palooza

Being new to the blogosphere, I have so appreciated the amazing women bloggers who have gone before me. Most of these creative and talented women are full-time blog masters and they are super generous with tips and advice to help us younger, less experienced (and not even part of part-time) bloggers. One such expert is … Continue reading link party-palooza

using labels the right way

Since we entertain in our home A LOT, I keep lots of little helpful items in stock to make it super simple to throw a party or event together. I have a credenza stocked to the brim with table linens, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, and the like. A couple years ago at Christmas time … Continue reading using labels the right way

packing tips :: weekend trip

My hubs and I are going away for the weekend for some much needed refreshment with one another and with the Lord. Can. Not. Wait. If I don't respond to your calls, texts, emails or smoke signals, that's why. ;) A few years ago prior to marriage I was impressed by the Lord to consider … Continue reading packing tips :: weekend trip

st. patrick’s day printables

I'm Irish. At least partly. I think I'm also Scottish, English and German as well, so not exactly a full blooded lassy! Nonetheless, I can remember many a St. Patty's Day when my mom would cook up a savory meal for this green barraged holiday, complete with corn beef, cabbage and potatoes. I didn't much … Continue reading st. patrick’s day printables

diy shower favors

As a blogger, sometimes I feel like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music and you're just coming along for the ride. "These are a few of my favorite things" plays in the background as I scribe about my favorite creations, gifts, events, food, etc. If I could dance while typing, you can believe I … Continue reading diy shower favors
