A Heart of Hospitality

On May 25, 2013 By

I pray so many times that God would give me a greater heart of hospitality. I want it so badly.

I want my home to be a place where people always feel welcome. However, most of my married life, our homes have been construction zones. Smile

Table saws and nail guns are not my idea of “welcoming.”

But I need to get over the imperfections in my home, and realize that I can be hospitable despite our mess.

I’m thankful for blog friends that encourage me to do so.

A couple of weeks ago I shared an ebook that one of my blog friends had written called “Kidventures.”

Today I get to share another wonderful ebook that my blog friend, Edie, has written.

Over at Anna & Co., this dated piece of artwork had been gathering dust in the back of a closet somewhere in Anna’s house.  Noticing it’s large size and sturdy frame one day, she decided it was time to join in the chalkboard craze.

tile a bye-bye

On May 23, 2013 By

At first we thought the floor was linoleum.  I thought maybe the previous owners went a cheap route and just bought those giant stick down floor tiles…totally a budget move. ahem.  I was wrong. This is bonafide tile.  excuse the mutant toes. So here’s how we removed it all.  First…removal of the quarter round.  I [...]

It looks like venting a little might have paid off.  :)
Since that post:
- the tile in the backsplash has been replaced
- the countertop has been shaved down so the stove will fit
- a trim piece has been added under the countertop so the dishwasher can be screwed in
- the stove has been installed
- the landscapers [...]

Hello Darlings!

I wanted to share with  you something that we did in our master closet.

I showed you a couple of weeks ago how we started installing our EasyClosets.

I have been dying to share this with you.

I have something new that I LOVE.  Smile

 

It’s called StitchFix, and my sister, Cyndi, introduced it to me.  She is a fashion blogger for women over 40 who shares tips on her blog about how to be beautiful inside and out.

She told me about this fun little service she’s been using… StitchFix.

 

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. I don’t know about you, but I need help with my “styling.”

I’m a DIY girl.  I spend most of my time in yoga pants and tshirts, and my accessories are paintbrushes and tool belts.  Smile

I used to like to shop for clothes when I was younger, but now, not so much.  I don’t have the time, and I am too picky.

 

So Cyndi convinced me to try StitchFix, and here is how it works.
