Happy Birthday Babe!

Today is Jimmy’s 36th Birthday. Very Exciting. I didn’t do the best at making it spectacular, but I think he’d prefer it to be mellow. He had a bunch of church meetings this evening, but we squeezed in a simple dinner, chocolate cupcakes, and a hot/cold game to find a few presents (that he shopped […]

a thought for today

This comes from a message from Women’s Conference. I like the goal to focus on these in our fam. I think daily we’re heading towards these, but it’s good to sit down and define what we’re trying to accomplish & BECOME!

But isn’t it a great goal – to strengthen our home and family by looking for the best in each other, etc. I’m grateful for more days … […]

Home Organization

I really want to do this… Jimmy might chuckle. I feel hopeful. I need a plan. I reorganize the closets here and there (once a year or so – cough!). But we have a great need to declutter … and find a home for each and every belonging (or out it goes!). I think I […]
