Good morning sweet friends. As I sit here this morning, cup of coffee in hand, listening to my little girls chatter about who is faster at flash cards than the other twin, I wanted to share with you what is on my heart today. We chain ourselves with guilt and keep ourselves from doing what [...]
Good morning, my dear friends! I hope you have had a wonderful and beautiful season of holidays with your family, and are enjoying the rest and peace that January brings after the rush of the holidays. Our family is still growing and changing...our Littles are drawing near to double digits (HOW is this possible??), and [...]
Hello old friends. I know I have been silent for some time, and many of you who follow me over on our Facebook page know much of that has been because of personal illness and physical challenges that have rocked my world since October 2017. For a time, I had to set aside my passion [...]
Its finally come. A day that Kurt and I prayed for, and yet sometimes wondered if we would ever reach. 20 years together. This was us in 1997, just two young kids with NO idea what life was going to throw at us in the next 5 years....the loss of our first child less than [...]

At some point in the last 2 years I have come to the conclusion my life would be wayyyyy easier with a lot less STUFF. I mean, STUFF controls my life. My desire for different kinds of STUFF can affect my paycheck. It can take up a ridiculous amount of time picking up not only [...]
If you happen to be over on our Welcoming House Facebook page, or even on my Handcrafts page, you would be seeing some fun new crochet animals I have been working on for Spring events coming up, and for filling up my Etsy store later in February. Actually, one of the fun things I have [...]
Its the very first day of a beautiful new year, and I love it. Feels like when you open a fresh clean notebook for the first time, and stare at the lovely crisp pages just waiting to be filled with memories like a journal...or notes from conferences you attended. I love how fresh and clean [...]
I have just been through a wonderful experience that I have a hard time wrapping my mind around and putting into words, but I will do my best for you all. As someone who is friendly but perhaps does not make friends easily, I entered into a play production, a musical, with a local community [...]
