A Modern Day Fairy Tale

Day 16: What's At The Top Of Your Bucket List?

Hmm, this is a tough question! Honestly, the top of my bucket list would probably have been married and have a family of my own. Accomplished. In high school, I would have said living in California would also have been on my bucket list...again, don…

Timeline of my day? Hmmm...well, to be honest, we're still trying to settle into the routine here with Shaun's school and all that fun stuff, so we don't have much of a routine down yet! Wake up, check e-mails and so on until Shaun wakes up...then it's busy, busy, busy until then! …

Day 13: What is your earliest memory?

Confession: I have the worst memory! Seriously! As I'm trying to think of what my earliest memory might have been, it seems most of them involve being sick! I have some very vague memories of preschool, but nothing specific. My first super clear memory I thi…

Day 11: 15 of My Favorite Things
The people in my life: family and friends. Of course, I have to start with the most important, right? I would not be who I am without the people in my life. I would list them individually, but then I'd have used up all 15 favorites!!Shaun conversations. Not long …

Day 9: What Are Your Worst Habits?

Well, I have no bad habits of course!! Just kidding, ha!
I think my hubby would say that I sometimes take forever to get to the point of my story...because I'll forget where I was going with it, get off on a tangent and then remember the original story!
I also ov…

Day 8: What's In Your Handbag?

This is a fun topic isn't it? In my Thirty-One skirt purse at the moment: A Dayspring card from my Blessings Unlimited Director welcoming me to the team.A heart token from my Blessings sponsor Alice...it says 'In God's Care: 1 Peter 5:7' ( Cast all y…

Day 6: Your 5 Senses Right Now

See: My computer screen of course! Plus my son, right next to me.

Taste: Maybe a little cherry lip balm...will be tasting pizza soon for lunch though!!

Feel: A little cold to be honest...I've not yet been able to get the house the perfect temperature! Not yet used to…

I love music, so picking just 10 songs that I love right now is HARD! I'll try and do a little mix on songs I'm loving in the moment, as well as some all time favorites too!! I tend to like songs that have great messages behind them, so those tend to be my favorites, as you will see!!

Love I…

Ooops, got a little behind there! Better late than never, right?




Day 3: Your Favorite Quote

This is a tough one, because I LOVE quotes! Many of my favorite quotes are bible verses...and if you look around my blog, you'll find several of those (like Jeremiah 29:11, there at the top!) Here are a fe…

Topic for Day 2 of the 31 Day Blog Challenge is: 20 Facts About Me!!
I grew up in a very small town in Southern Indiana. We didn't even have a post office!I graduated high school in 2006, but I actually finished in 2005. I opted to finish getting my credits through alternative school the summer…

For the last several months, I've been in a bit of a blog slump with the move and everything else going on. I have seen several bloggers I follow participating in this 31 Day Blog Challenge and I thought it was a great way to break out of the slump...plus I have gained several new readers latel…

It's Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and what kind of MilSpouse blogger would I be if I didn't take a moment to recognize it? To all of my MilSpouse readers, past and present, thank you! Enjoy your day and know that you are appreciated.
Today, I will be hopping along with a few of my favor…

I have had this Dayspring mug for about a month now and I absolutely love it. "She didn't have to be perfect, because she was perfectly loved. 1 John 4:8" (1 John 4:8 actually reads 'Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.' in case anyone looks it up and…

We're long overdue to share a cute Shaun tale, right?
I thought so.



Yesterday afternoon, Shaun came up with the fun idea that he needed to grow a beanstalk.
So, he threw out some seeds (pistachios), and he waited. And he waited.
And waited some more!

He was so sad when it didn't grow! He wanted …

When we moved into our first house as a newly married couple, we had absolutely nothing! We bought a mattress, box spring and a simple bed frame, along with a couch and love seat set and small tv for the living room. We had mismatched dishes, pots and pans, etc, but it at least did the job, we coul…

Ever have those days, weeks, months where you just seem to be in a blah mood...I've been in that mood a lot lately it seems. Between the move, being sick and trying to get everything done that so desperately needs done, it takes a lot out of me! But I try to remain positive through it all, and …
