My Mini Kitchen Office
There's a never ending battle that we all fight. It's the battle between your clean kitchen counters and the stream of mail and paperwork that enters your house. I can't stand having random pieces of paper all over the kitchen counters, so I created a mail sorting system that blossomed into a mini kitchen office. It… Continue reading My Mini Kitchen Office

Date Night at the Opera
Last weekend we had a "big" date night. My husband is a huge fan of The Phantom of the Opera. He's seen it multiple times in different locations, so he was excited to hear the tour was coming to our town! I beat him to the punch and surprised him with tickets for his Christmas gift.… Continue reading Date Night at the Opera

My Cozy Drop Space
I love having a place right inside the door where we can drop our keys, mail and sunglasses as soon as we enter the house. Hence the name, "drop space." I created this cozy area next to the carport door and I'm in love with it! The light from the lamp really warms up… Continue reading My Cozy Drop Space
How to Clean Makeup Brushes
Once every few months, I like to take everything out of my makeup container and clean the contents - especially my makeup brushes. It makes such a difference and I'm always glad I did it. Just be sure to do this after you've applied your makeup for the day - the brushes need to… Continue reading How to Clean Makeup Brushes
The Comfort of God’s Word
Several months ago, our Pastor challenged the young couples' class to consider this passage for our homes: And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the… Continue reading The Comfort of God’s Word
How to Pack For Vacation (and not forget anything!)
We've all been there. You're halfway to the beach, and suddenly panic grips your heart. Did I pack my bathing suit?!! There's nothing like spending your vacation wearing an ill-fitting $19.98 bathing suit from Walmart when your perfect makes-me-look-skinnier-than-I-am bathing suit is back at home. I've certainly been known to forget things when travelling. Growing up,… Continue reading How to Pack For Vacation (and not forget anything!)
