• A B See Photo Meme

    This might get interesting. I can do this every Friday or not – depending on if I get it done. Sounds good to me. Here are the rules… be sure to post them when you join! 1. Post a photo for each letter of the alphabet of anything that starts with that letter. 2. Write a few short explanatory, quirky, or witty sentences about each photo you post. 3. Only post one photo at a time (the meme can take as long as you want – a month, three months, whatever… you aren’t being graded). You can link them later in a blog post so they are listed in order…

  • Tackle It Tuesday #137

    This week I finally got to my bathroom drawers. They needed organized in a bad way and have become quite the annoyance to me. The containers I wanted I could not find so I decided to just settle for some I saw in Kmart in the kitchen section. It cost me a total of $9.99 for all 3 drawers – maybe a little too expensive but I’m so happy to finally have it done. To see what others have tackled this week go here.         Copyright 2008 Treasuring the Moments

The kids were so sweet and well-behaved, everyone helping each other. It was really great to see. Most of what I do see, especially when out shopping are things like this. In C*STCO yesterday there was a mom in front of…

    A Life That Says WelcomeWritten by: Karen Ehman235 pagesPublisher: Revell For many people offering hospitality is a daunting prospect. There are many excuses offered such as, “I don’t know how to cook,” My house is too small,” or “My husband and I are not extroverts. What would we talk about?” Hospitality is a Biblical mandate though and one that we must learn to embrace with joy. In the book A Life That Says Welcome Karen takes a look at what hospitality means and gives examples from the Bible of those who displayed a welcoming heart. “A Life That Says Welcome helps you make others feel refreshed, rather than impressed, in…

  • A Simple Valentine's Day Supper & A Few Ideas

    I’ve been mulling over what to do special for Valentine’s Day, which will be on Friday for us, and I think I’ve finally figured out what we’re doing. I usually only do something special in the morning time at breakfast. We’ll still do that. I have some gifts I bought at one of the big wholesale warehouses after Christmas. They were on clearance and I snatched them up. For hubby he gets chocolate covered nuts. For the children, mugs filled with a variety of candy (we do NOT need any more candy – this has really got to stop!), wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow. They were so…
