Today marked halfway through the 1 Week Whole House Organized Challenge. This morning after breakfast, the girls and I got right to work on the kitchen. We organized the pantry. I was able to get rid of a few things that didn’t pass the 10 year test. You know that platter or bowl that you used…
“Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’” Luke 18:27 (NIV) Do you have something in your life that seems impossible to do? Have you tried and tried and tried and you just can’t quite do it? You might come close, but really, when it’s all said and done, nope, you didn’t…
It’s day 2 of the 1 Week Whole House Organized Challenge. I am feeling so accomplished today! The girls and I have worked hard today and are now relaxing. Yesterday when we cleaned out our game closet, we rediscovered Clue. We did play a few games today between tasks. We finished up the list from…
It’s Monday and Day 1 of the 1 Week Whole House Organized Challenge. Today I started with my office space. I love my little office space which my dad built for me a few years ago. I did reorganize it to make it my blog space. I want to buy a small bulletin board and…

I’m so excited to invite you to join me this June for a book study of my new favorite book, If: Trading Your If Only Regrets for God’s What If Possibilities, by Mark Batterson. I got If for Christmas and promptly read it. I then reread it with a pen, underlining my favorite parts. I don’t…
I wrote this last year and thought I’d share it again. Mother’s Day is in a few days. For some this brings with it excitement. For me, not so much excitement. For me, it’s pain. It’s one of those days I wish didn’t exist. Wow! That’s honest, isn’t it? I love my mom. My attitude…
