A Modern Day Fairy Tale

As a lot of you probably know by now, at the end of this week, the little guy and I will be getting on a train to meet my husband back home for his R&R. This will be our 3rd time traveling by train, and we love it. Shaun is in heaven on the train, as you can imagine! So this week's 10 on Tu…

Linking up for Scripture and a Snapshot again this week.

I snapped this photo one evening after a gloomy, rainy day (which we've been having a lot of lately!). Amazing how such an ugly day could bring something so beautiful. It's hard to see such beauty in the world and believe that it is al…

Shaun has recently become obsessed with typing. I'm sure I've mentioned briefly on here that he is able to sight word many words- including all of his train names. He has such a fascination with letters (and numbers too!). He has such a brilliant little mind and it never ceases to amaze me.…

Linking up again this week for 10 on Tuesday with It's a Crafty Life. This week, I'm just going to share 10 random tidbits:)

Okay, okay. I couldn't help myself, I love those Veggie Tales! (My son on the other hand, eh, they freak him out!!) Besides, it's a nice little history lesson- afterall, this isn't a day about drinking as some may think;)

Happy St Patrick's Day to all of you! Hope you all have a grea…

Linking up again with Jamie for WILW!



This week I have to start off by saying I love all my new followers! Who'd have thought my little blog would reach (and pass) 100 followers! Thank you so much to all of you! I'm so glad people are enjoying it! I also want to say I love all the encouragin…

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."- Romans 5: 3-4

When searching for a verse on patience, I came across this wonderful passage and knew I wanted to share today. It's a…

Last week, I posted my list of 10 projects I wanted to try, including redoing this wonderful frame I found at a yard sale for 50 cents! And so I give you the finished project (for now):

This was a very easy project and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I still am not sure exactly where or w…
