{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

FRIDAY FAVORITES

I know we've seen tons of these on blog land but I just really like the black and white...


Isn't this the cutest idea ever for Teepee cupcakes?


 I love how Lynn used this fireplace mantle piece outside in her garden.


Hot cocoa stir sticks...too cute! 


 YES, YES, YES...I love this! 


Who says that plastic is pretty? Adorable! 



How about some mini peach cobblers?


Wanna a great tip on how to remove the writing off of plastic containers?


Now you didn't think I would forget to show you a darling little tablescape did you?

And I will leave you with this today.

    I do know and believe that every single person who enters our lives have an impact on our walk with Him. But...sometimes....I still have to question, "why?" in my human heart! HOPE you have a great weekend!

    Hi Cindy! Love all your little favorites today - some great ideas here. This weekly post always makes me want to run out and do a DIY - or bake something! But - then I look at the stack of writing waiting for me and know that I shall have to put off such fun and games - and dream of your posts that keep me inspired.

    Joy!

    You found good stuff. Loved the mantle the best. I love using the unexpected in the garden. It is part of the home.
    Love the quote too and I do believe that.

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...
