Create a beautiful space to live in grace
Well, time got away from me and I missed posting for week 2. The good news is, no one really missed anything because we didn’t really accomplish much last week. There was a debate about flooring for the mudroom and powder room. In the end, the vinyl peel and stick won out. It’s easy, cheap […]

Well, I’ve been itching to do a project for a while now and the snowstorm last week was apparently all I needed to start one. We have been in our home for almost 5 years now, which is crazy as it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. We have a list of project ideas […]

I distinctly remember being in the pillow aisle at target with my oldest daughter and I found this bright colorful floral pillow. Immediately I loved […]
Continue ReadingThis will be my tenth year choosing a word. In many ways, I can’t believe I have stuck with this practice for a decade! It has been one of my most favorite things I have discovered for accountability, growth and focus. Some years my word comes quickly and concretely, I know it’s my word. Other […]
Continue ReadingIt’s my favorite time of year! Of course, I love the Christmas season, there’s all the fun traditions and celebrations. Gathering with faily and friends, lots of wonderful memories made. But what I have found is that reviewing my word for the year and looking forward to the next word has created an anticipation probably […]
