What would life be like without color?  I must be craving spring, because I’ve been running for my camera all week long! These are the things I’ve been drawn to: What colors have been calling your name lately? I’m linking this post to Melissa’s Inspired Room.  Check out what others are inspired by and add [...]

In case your Monday has been as rugged as mine…. I just wanted to share a bit of beauty with you. There are those days when leaving the flowers at the store is just too much to ask of a girl. Wishing you a beautiful day! Jennifer

I saw this on Nannygoat and knew it was the solution to all my Valentine woes!  It took only minutes to pull together, and I feel like it’s the best Valentine I’ll ever send to school with my children: Adorable!  It’s personalized, and best of all, I don’t have to sit there while they write [...]

It was one of those mornings.  The fog was so thick I couldn’t see further than the house next door.  I could feel the moisture in the cold air.  My hair dryer was broken (so I’ll just let you imagine how I looked).  I discovered that my children had ruined something I cared about (and [...]

It wasn’t very hard for me to say goodbye to Christmas and pack up the decorations… until it came to the manger. My heart lingered here, reluctant to carry it to the basement.  I realized that this was probably my last Christmas to lay my own baby in the manger for our annual re-enactment of [...]

I didn’t want to believe the weatherman.  But how do you ignore something like this? Just yesterday we were playing outside in the fall sunshine.

I wandered outside the other day to appreciate the beauty of fall, and to hunt for a lost pair of shoes.  I’m so glad I took my camera, because I had no way of knowing that later that day the wind would sweep in and carry most of the leaves off the trees.  I love [...]

I know that these guys are usually discussed only at a different time of year. But I just have to comment on them for a minute. Look at the wattle on these turkeys! Sometimes God’s love of color really catches my attention. The blue head and red wattle are quite the combination, wouldn’t you say? [...]

On a recent preschool field trip, the peacocks reminded us how beautiful they really are. When I was a girl, my uncle had peacocks at his house, and I remember hunting for the feathers.  I had forgotten how enormous these birds look when their feathers are fully extended, and how blue they look.  It took [...]

My son has been calling it Sprinter:  the spring that thinks it’s winter.  Around here, it’s been snowstorms or rain almost every weekend and sometimes in between, all of it with what seems like a three mile thick layer of gray clouds overhead.  I actually started writing down and timing when the sun came out [...]
