Inspiration
A Great Ladies Night Out!
Recently, thanks to Living Social I had a fantastic afternoon out with my Mom and Sister. I must say that since Groupon started it all, we have been able to do things we would never do. This deal was for a painting class that includes a glass of wine, so it is called Painting and Sipping. Sounded fun. I have always wanted to paint on canvas but would never, ever go buy all the supplies. We have plenty of poster paint, finger paint and water colors but nothing fancy. This was a great opportunity to get my hands dirty so to speak. I sent the link to my Mom and she was…
Rethinking the Coat Closet
Being a homeschooler and living in a small space can be frustrating at times. I pretty much turned my living room into a school room, then over time, a couch and love seat were brought in. I needed space but wasn’t sure what else could be done. Recently while cruising a blog hop I found this blog and wow I am soooo thankful I did, so thankful for the inspiration. She had all of her storage bins in her coat closet. I went to work right away! BEFORE: AFTER: Oops I guess I forgot to take “Before” pictures of the closet and “After” pictures of the Living Room. :O)
Easy Tie Dye Shirts
I have always loved tie-dyed shirts, loved them. Bright bursts of color splashed on a sparkling white tee. Pretty! I have wanted to make one for ever but just felt like it would be hard. Until recently. I came across a spray bottled tie dye kit, it looked easy enough so I had to try it. We bought 3 white tee’s for only $3 a piece! The kit was 7.99. We twisted and rubber-banded the shirts then sprayed the tie dye all over, set to dry… we let dry 24 hours… When we took the bands off there was still alot of white so we re-banded it and sprayed some more tie dye on, dried some more……
Reflecting Back and Looking Forward: Family Vacations
What other word can bring a smile across your face faster than the word Vacation? Awwee just saying it conjures up such warm, happy feelings. As a child we always took a family trip in the Summer. Most of the time it was driving to Las Vegas and then on to Los Angeles and San Diego. I loved that road trip and came to love those cities. Even traveled back to them several times as an adult. Other times we took trips around Colorado and New Mexico. Traveling around Colorado was always a treat since we mostly stayed in the great Rocky Mountains. Estes Park was always on our list…
I am Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered
This is one of the first songs I started listening to when God first called me into new life… brings back a flood of emotions. Even now I am touched and reminded of the gift I have been given. Beautiful words that are so true. I came across this video and wanted to share it.
A Challenge I am Ready for
Ever since I started Homeschooling or researching it, for that matter, I have found really good blogs written by other Moms. Recently, I noticed a few of them began talking about a challenge they were about to begin on. *Flash Forward* Just the other night I was telling my friends that I am starving for the Word, I have not been in it like I want to be. I started working a new schedule in the Fall so I had to stop attending my regular Bible Study. I have been in a study a year ever since He called me 4 years ago, this year has been different. Finding this…
Who Will Love Me for Me?
Who will love you for you, only you? Not for what you can do or what you will do? Who will love you for you, no matter what you do or say? There is only one answer. His love is unfailing. His love endures forever. He does not change. He is faithful and forgiving. He created you, He knew your name before time, He loves you and will never leave you. JJ Heller is an amazing singer and her husband plays guitar beautifully. Combined they create incredibly touching music. They first got me with Your Hands, it blew me away, touched me, I loved it. A reminder of the Lord’s…
A Few Forgotten Pictures from 2010
Sometimes I miss photo albums, sitting down and flipping through, lingering on some. Sifting through memories. It just isn’t the same with digital pictures sometimes. Although I would not go back to film for a million dollars, I just wish it was easier to flip through pictures. I was looking through pictures on my computer and came across some pictures that were lost in the shuffle this past year. I have posted kids, homeschool and food. These are of places around Denver. Hope you like as much as I do…
