“And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall [...]

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

As the weather has been warming, our neighbors have been coming out of their homes. They’ve been gardening, mowing lawns and taking long walks down the street. I must admit…I have only met two of our neighbors. But, my goal this spring is to take some kind of goodie and make the rounds to introduce [...]

Lindsay has written such an encouraging post about Communing Daily with the Lord as a Mother. Go here to read it. It has been so encouraging to me. I believe it will be to you as well. “ . . . I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself [...]

Modesty and the Christian Woman

Laryssa — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:00:10 +0000

We’ve been having some beautiful weather in the high 70′s this week in middle Tennessee. It’s been lovely! The trees and flowers are busting into bloom…but, unfortunately that’s not all that’s busting out. Somehow the warm weather makes some women forget that parts of their bodies are to be kept to themselves! So.. I’m reminding myself to [...]

Ever wondered what life would be like in the perfect homes in the magazines? With spring cleaning going on for most of us (which seems to make more messes), those serene photos look even more appealing! Catalog Living blog has made me laugh so many times at the hilarious captions that go along with our favorite catalogs. Click [...]

“No pioneer woman ever stepped on a Lego”

Laryssa — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 19:37:17 +0000

Since our family homeschools we read a lot of books. No, really. A LOT. (Which is just fine by me. I even have my own bookshelf.) {wink} I really enjoy reading about how women managed their households in the past. They didn’t have all our modern conveniences, but they didn’t have all our modern temptations [...]

Happy Birthday Honey!

Today is my sweet husband’s (and my mother’s!) birthday. In his honor I’d like to share his portrait drawn by our 4 year old daughter.
