Not too long ago, I wrote a post to tell you I would write an eBook. It seems as if I'm exactly where I started...sitting on the couch in my pajamas writing to you.  🙂 There was so much that went on behind-the-scenes to pull this eBook off, and I can't...

Well it's quite different over here. I'm absolutely in love with the new look...what do you think??? There's still the process of updating all the photos and organizing all posts under categories, but I think Tony did a great job of getting most all of it available to...

I'm nervous.  I can't help but be nervous. What if you don't like it?  What if I don't like it? At the end of the day, though, I chose to put it out there.  And I really do feel great about the finished product. I wholeheartedly followed my gut, my...

There's an in between this time of year. When the temperature warms a bit, and spring peeks around the corner. I'm thankful that before the plague of whatever sickness we've got around here hit, I was able to get out into the world a little. Breath a little fresh air....

I've got some good stuff for you today, guys. I am so happy to have Miss Mustard Seed here today! She's such a wonderful inspiration to us all, and better yet, she's just an awesome person. We're going to get some of her painting favorites, a topic well loved around...

Well, I just wanted to say that I'm here.  Not really here in a bold, taking on the day kind of way, but here as in here. In the bed. With something no less than torture of the tummy.  Stomach flu, virus, I don't know.  But we all have it. I mean, all...

It seems as if baring my soul to you guys comes naturally these days. Some time ago, I told you about our work in Honduras. I shared with you about the people, their poverty, and yet, their filled hearts. Matt has been to Honduras 12 times in his life and we now lead...

It feels so great to be home.  SO great.  If you follow on Twitter, you know that Matt and I took our youth to a conference in Tennessee. Much of my weekend was spent here... We had such a blast, although I'm convinced that much time in a 15 passenger van is good for...

I've been looking for a sunburst mirror for about a year now.  Ideally, I wanted to find an antique piece, but I also was in the market for a large mirror.  Did I mention I wanted to find it dirt cheap? That's a long list, and after a year, I began looking around for...

Well, I couldn't resist showing you a peek...     I got some exciting news from Ana White yesterday.  She wants to draw up some plans of our table and include them in the book.  (this is me secretly screaming "yay!!")  In a calm and self-controlled voice, of...

Well, friends, it seems the fabulous Beckie at Knock Off Decor featured my mercury glass vases yesterday.  Head over there to check her out! And because I've added a new section to the book (aka I've never done anything so last minute in my life), to say I'm working...

Yesterday I share with you a bit of my story with Matt. And how I would recreate the Valentine's Day we shared a decade ago. If you haven't read that, you might want to.  These pictures probably won't make much sense without knowing. So, in pictures, here's how I...

We just can't escape love this week.Which is totally fine with me since I'm convinced the world needs a bit more in it.A long, long time ago I was a freshman in college.  I pretty much vowed to wait until I was a sophomore to date.  It may have had something...

Have you guys found Pinterest yet?I first found it a few weeks ago when Beth shared it with us all.  Thanks, girl!It's simply the coolest way to create inspiration boards using images from all around the web.  I may have been on it for an hour this...

Well, it's actually been a couple of days. It really is crunch time around here with the book (Lauren was here until midnight last night and will be here soon) and we just keep having family emergencies. My sweet cousin-in-law, Charlie, went yesterday for a stress...

It's time for the most recent addition of FAQ's.  When the site is moved, I'll work on adding some new info to that section, so if you have a question, leave a comment on this post.(it's also good to email me directly if you have a specific question)One thing I'm...

Well, the mister turned 30 this weekend. And even after dad's stay in the hospital last week, I felt we needed to stick to the plan of a surprise birthday dinner. (Dad is home, by the way, and on his way to recovering.  Thank you all for your prayers, sweet comments,...
