Striving for Simplicity: Managing My Schedule

I have always had too many things going on. Over the years I’ve tried to scale back but as soon as I make a little bit of room in my schedule something comes along to fill the space.  A former supervisor of mine wrote in an evaluation that I “tend to take on too much […]

Striving for Simplicity: Putting God first

Most of us have good intentions about putting God first, yet it doesn’t always work out.  In our hearts and minds, He is first.  But not always in our actions.  Even those who are the most verbal about it have days where they end up blowing a kiss and winking a promise to God.  “I’ll […]

Here’s some Good News

I subscribe to Flylady.net (Marla Cilley).   She is the Queen of routines and keeping our houses clean by minimizing our clutter.  In a recent post, she likened keeping clutter to planting seeds in “what had been soil” and “what could have been soil.”  When instead, we should be sowing seeds in the “here and now […]

Catching up!

 Its been so long since I’ve played with my blog that I’ve forgotten how to add new pictures!  LOL!  Seriously.  I figured out how to repost old pics so I chose these.  I hope you like them.  This banner was from a Fall Swap I participated in a few years ago.  It was so much […]

And Life Goes On…

2013 will definitely be a year to remember for us!  A year ago we were all excited about decluttering and organizing our home and the possibilities of my booth growing into something bigger.   However, Proverbs 19:21  “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” NLT became […]

Merry Christmas!
