Every November, our family looks forward to a tradition that I feel has the true spirit of Christmas written all over it. Many churches in the area, ours included, help participate in something called Operation Christmas Child, sponsored by Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian organization that provides aid to people in physical … [Read more...]
It Runs in the Family (Part 1)
I come from a really large family. My mom is one of 5 kids and my dad is one of 12 kids. (Yep, that's not a typo, you just read that right...twelve kids!) All of them had their own kids, then their kids had kids...so, you do the math! Family reunions for us are more like small village festivals! But all kidding aside, one of the areas I've been … [Read more...]
Why I Love Vintage Items
Some people love shoes. I, on the other hand, love old stuff. Ok, let's categorize that a little nicer shall we? Vintage. I don't know exactly what it is about these particular items, but they speak to me. Each one has a history and is just waiting to be awoken from their slumber of disuse.

He will not leave you or forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6 This is my faith verse for the week. These are God's words to me and I choose to believe them. I have been knee-deep in project mode finalizing the items we're getting ready to … [Read more...]
Blessings
I've been blessed to have been given some pretty incredible gifts in this life, and they come in the form of my family. My husband and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, but we dated for 4 years prior, so really we've been together for almost 15 years now. Along with all these years of wedded bliss, came three amazing children who … [Read more...]
