Changing

January 10, 2017

Sunday marked the beginning of a long transition. Justin left at 1am to travel to our new place in Tennessee. Going into it, its all been so fast, but I knew it would be incredibly hard. The longest I’ve been apart from him was when he was working six days a week doing two full...

Meredith. What a post. Thank you for your honesty. I have been in your shoes. We had 5 children and my hubby lost his job. He was out of work for 10 months and in that time we had another baby. That got the neighbors talking! God always provided in some way and when things looked hopeless, a door opened in another city and off we went! It was very hard and there was no money, but still we moved forward. Our children remember those times and are grateful for their upbringing. Blessings on you and your family. So excited for youReplyCancel

  Thank you so much, Carla. Thank you for sharing some of your story too. I know we aren’t unique and I’m thankful for the wisdom and advice from others who have been where we are. I’m confident the Lord will take care of us and put us right where He wants us in the right time. ReplyCancel

Something new

December 21, 2016

The thing I really love about sewing/knitting/crafting is that there is always something new to learn. You could choose never to repeat a project and you wouldn’t run out of options. I think that’s why it appeals to both adventurous people and those who like to stick to their routine once they learn a particular...

Bostons on everything

November 23, 2016

I am a die hard Boston Terrier fan. I’ve had two dogs in my life, both Bostons, and I find them utterly and completely irresistible. In fact, even in tight financial situations, I find it so very hard not to purchase something with the image of a Boston. So it comes as no surprise that...
