An Inexpensive Alternative to Canvas Prints

5 / 5 / 1612 / 31 / 16

A Flower Basket for Mother’s Day

5 / 3 / 1612 / 31 / 16

Mother’s Day is just a few days away, and I think the tradition of giving flowers for Mother’s Day is a beautiful one. We went back to Peter’s home town last weekend and had the opportunity to walk through an Amish nursery. When we got there, I told Peter I wished I had taken my… Read More

25 Questions to Ask your Husband, Wife, or Best Friend

2 / 10 / 165 / 17 / 17

Posted by: Kelli Relationships are a funny thing in life. They come and they go. They may stay the same for a long time, but life changes and friendships ebb and flow with the seasons of life. I have learned those changes in friendships are okay. Peter and I attend a pretty big church. We… Read More

Posted by: Kelli One of the greatest blessings in my life right now is living three and a half miles from my parents. I know. I’m 32 and still dependent on my parents. 🙂 But really, all you who have ever had little ones at home know that the days can be really hard. Really… Read More

Posted by: Kristi Last week Kelli did a post on 10 people in your life who may need some encouragement.  One person she mentions in that list is your neighbor.  This got me thinking of some more specific examples on how you can be intentional in encouraging your neighbors or building relationships with them.  Sometimes I want… Read More

9 / 18 / 159 / 23 / 15

Posted by: Kelli Years ago I bought an old wooden cutting board from Goodwill. It had some fruit painted on it, and it was quite unattractive. I bought it knowing I would paint it and put it somewhere. My little cutting board made it through the move from the condo to the current house my… Read More

9 / 16 / 1512 / 31 / 16

Posted by: Kelli I don’t remember my dad helping us, but I am sure we couldn’t have stacked all the logs on our own. My sisters and I had a log cabin of sorts growing up. We had to climb up to the top of the stacked logs to get in because we didn’t have… Read More

8 / 13 / 153 / 18 / 16

I had one of those days where things just weren’t going well.  Nothing horrible happened; it was just a combination of small things and a not good attitude on my part.  In an attempt to focus my heart on things that matter (and in turn to help my attitude), I applied Philippians 4:8 specifically to… Read More
