{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...

Make Me Smile Monday

Yeah, yeah, yeah...it is Monday again! However, I just praise the Lord it's Monday again!!!! Wanted to share several things with you that JUST MAKES ME SMILE.

 Love these adorable and precious book markers that our Ladies Ministry Team made. We are taking this year to minister to every single employee in our school district. 166 of these "little blessings" was delivered recently.



 Considering these little herbs started out as babies they are doing quite well. Love the smell of them!


Ooh, not only does this make me smile but makes me HUNGRY! Love me a good old fashion low country boil!



Working on final preps for my nieces wedding and finished up this cute little rustic garter.
Every time I walk by this on my bakers rack it JUST MAKES ME SMILE!


Had myself a cup of hot tea in this little cutie recently and OH YES, that indeed made me smile...


How can you NOT smile when you look at this picture of my beautiful grandgirls?



Sweet little cousins...memories being made.


And...this surely brought a smile to this Nana's face when my 8 year old grandson picked me some weeds flowers from my yard and brought them to me! Worthy of a picture!



I hope this little post brings a smile to your face today! 

If we got out of the bed this morning my friend, we have something to smile about!

    It did! It brought smile after smile after smile! I have to say that my favorite was the cousins hugging. My daughter and her first cousin are the best friends in the whole world. They even went to college together and were sweet mates. Your granddaughters remind me so much of them, and honestly? When they see each other now, they STILL hug that way.

    This was a wonderful and beautiful post. I loved it.

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...
