This week has been full of sewing & woodworking projects in our home, as we have worked on making Christmas gifts. I’ll be finishing up some baking today for our Christmas meals. I hope you’re having a restful Christmas Eve! Here are some of my favorite links of the week: {Food} Pumpkin Pie in the Pumpkin @ Babble’s Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {12.24}   Post by Contributing Writer, Stacy I love to whip up a good body scrub; it only takes a few minutes and makes a wonderful gift (or special treat for me). An effective scrub can be made with one cup of sugar or salt and ¼ to ½ cup of oil. Adding herbs provides extra scent and Continue reading Soothing Lavender Foot Scrub I have a delightful giveaway post coming for you tomorrow, so I’m putting up my weekend post a day early. We’re in the midst of Christmas gift-making here, looking forward to the children’s Christmas play at church on Sunday, planning on some caroling & hot cocoa with our AWANA kids next week, and celebrating my birthday Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {12.16} We’ve been focusing on many home-improvement projects this week, including painting the children’s room and making our living space a bit more “homey” (after a year!). (I’ll be sharing my various “nesting” and decorating projects with you in the coming year. You can subscribe to blog posts here for free, if you’d like.) In the coffeehouse, Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {12.10} We’ve been staying cozy inside, out of the regular downpours, serving lots of pumpkin spice lattes to our guests, munching on Thanksgiving leftovers, and getting started on homemade Christmas gifts. Here are some of my favorite links of the week: {Food} Coconut Chai Muffins @ Mexican Wildflower… I love chai! {Faith} Thanksgiving is a Place @ Pearls and Grace… Yes. {Family} Why Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {11.26}
{Photo Credit} Instead of rushing around to various department stores today, how about browsing through a new book or two, sampling a new recipe, and perhaps getting started on some homemade Christmas gifts? Here are several of my favorite sales going on right now (including my own!): Frugal Granola Here at Continue reading Book Sales! It’s been pouring down rain here, and especially chilly (perhaps snow is coming soon?). We’ve been focusing on indoor projects, keeping warm with baked cinnamon rolls and tea, and washing many little outfits after children’s puddle-jumping escapades). Brainstorming for the holidays have begun, and I’ve stocked up on Northwest cranberries (I love them in kefir smoothies as Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {11.12} With the rainy fall weather lately, we’ve been doing a bit more reading, starting a little of my “nesting projects,” and enjoying autumn crockpot meals! During a visit to Grandma’s, the children had fun harvesting carrots, munching on just-picked apples, and bringing home a small pumpkin from the garden. Meanwhile, here are some of my favorite links Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {10.22} Our family has enjoyed delving into our new homeschooling year for the past couple weeks or so, and by request, I’m sharing a list of our curriculum/resources. For our daughter (who is almost 5), we’re doing a mixture of resources based on her skill level. Her attention span is completely age-appropriate, so each subject/project is done Continue reading Our Homeschool Resources & Routines We had our first week of this new school year these past few days, and are really enjoying it so far. (I’ll share more about that later, if you want.) My children had growth spurts over the summer, so I’ve been sorting through clothing and was pleased with a successful thrift store trip to restock. We’re enjoying Continue reading Weekend Inspiration {9.24} |
