joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
Who knew I could go nearly a week without posting on my blog? Certainly not me. I wasn’t sure that day would ever happen. However, the holiday’s have recently passed over us and so that means I have been super-duper busy. Zack and I spent five nights at my parents house, four nights at his… [Read More]

WOOOOOOO, WEEEEEEEEE! Last night, two things happened: I sewed for approximately 3.5 hours :) I had a strong urge to visit Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts so I could stroll their aisles Zack took off to hang with some buds. He shut the back door and almost instantaneously I had transformed our kitchen into my personal… [Read More]
A while ago, pretty much around the time we got married (June 7, 2008), Zack decided he didn’t understand the purpose of “decorations.” Or “pretties.” Which basically translated into, I don’t know why you spend all your time, your energy and our money into making our home so beautiful and creatively designed… But thank you… [Read More]
