Hello, Saturday friends! I have several snapshots from our week. It was busy with work but also some nice little breaks and visits here and there. Kitten on the Keys We are having so much fun with our little animals. Floyd the kitty is just so funny! He zooms all around like a ping pong ball all over the house. I was in the kitchen one day and heard a plink-plink coming from the piano. I turned to see Floyd was tiptoeing across the piano keys, so I grabbed my phone and snapped a photo. What a cutie. ***** Tea with Friends My tea ladies met for lunch which is always a treat! We enjoyed a full lunch from scones to finger sandwiches to mini desserts. My tea blend of ... Read more
Fluff the Nest Friday: “Clean” Cleaning Products
Happy Friday! Are you fluffing your nest today too? We're getting ready for company this weekend so there will definitely be some fluffing going on here! Last week I shared about my Norwex cleaning cloths which I use on the daily with no spray or cleaning solution at all. They are amazing! But there are times in my cleaning when I need to use a spray with a paper towel or regular cleaning rag. Unfortunately, I can't tolerate most cleaning sprays on the market due to their strong smells. For years I was getting bad headaches very easily and one of the main culprits was my cleaning and laundry products because of the chemicals and fumes. For a while I just accepted it as part of the job. ... Read more
Bath, Body, and Beauty Products I’m Loving
Hello! I have some product recommendations for you today! Here are a few new-to-me items I'm currently loving for bath, body, and beauty. Eucalyptus and Spearmint Bath Soak My wonderful husband surprised me the week of my daughter's wedding with a "wedding week survival basket"! I know, he's the best! One of the items in the basket was this bottle of essential oil-scented Epsom salt from Bath and Body Works. A soak in the tub with a few capfuls of this stuff really soothes my aching back and neck. After using the first bottle and raving about it so much, my husband went back during Bath and Body Works's summer sale and got me 2 more bottles! Flamingo Razor The ... Read more
Teach Them Tuesday: Career Direct for the Homeschool Senior
Y'all, we have another senior! My kids are growing up! For those of you who also have a senior this year (or any high schooler), I'm just popping on here to pass on some information that was very helpful to us recently. Last spring, in preparation for this schoolyear and figuring out what courses she should take her senior year, we talked with our daughter a lot about her future after graduation. If she had some ideas of what she would like to do, she could select senior courses that would benefit her in her future pursuits. We found out about the Career Direct website and survey which helps you narrow down your fields of interest, and spent a Saturday afternoon helping her complete a ... Read more
Snapshot Saturday: Lovin’ Summer
Good Saturday morning to ya! Here is a snapshot of our week with just a few of the summery things I’m lovin’! Fresh Peaches I think peaches are the taste of summer! We haven't made it to our favorite Peach Park yet but it's on our bucket list and I've been purchasing peaches from Aldi to hold us over until we get there. We are eating them on salads, yogurt, cereal, and just by themselves! And because I'm in such a peachy mood these days, I brought home this peach candle, also from Aldi. It smells so sweet and summery! ***** Evening Glow I love to be outside at the end of the day when it's just about dark but not quite. The frogs, crickets, and cicadas are all ... Read more
Meet Liberty!
Ok, you're all going to think we have completely lost our minds since I just posted about our new kitten we got last week, but yes, we have a new puppy! She is my daughter's dog, and her name is LIBERTY because she came home the day before Independence Day. She's an Australian Shepherd and is utterly scrumptious and looks and feels like a stuffed animal. Just look at that happy face! So, are you wondering why we adopted two new pets in less than a week? Of course you are--because it's crazy. Let me explain. My husband and I have always tried to supply our kids with whatever resources they need to support their interests, hobbies, and ambitions. Whatever art supplies, books, tools, ... Read more
A Cracker Jack of a Snack!
Hey, Cracker Jacks! Hope you all had a great July 4th! We enjoyed several goodies for the holiday including the all-American snack of Cracker Jacks! I made a batch for the 4th and then a second batch for my supper club last night. We meet every other week for dinner and visiting with a theme for the meal. This week's theme was ballpark food! How fun! I signed up for Conecuh sausage dogs with homemade mustard sauce. There is also a sign up each time for someone to bring a takeaway treat for everyone to leave with. I thought the Cracker Jacks would make a fun takeaway treat so I signed up for that too! Homemade Cracker Jacks Ingredients: 16 cups popped corn 1 cup salted ... Read more
Snapshot Saturday: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
My apologies if I've put a certain song in your head now just after reading the title of this blog, but we had a lot of changes around here lately, so I've been singing this tune all week, haha. Sunrises I'll start with a snapshot of something that does and doesn't change: the sunrise. I walk most weekday mornings and I snap a photo of the sunrise almost every time because each morning's sunrise is unique from the previous day's and the next day's. Some sunrises are bright and fiery, some are soft and purple, and some are muted with fog. But what doesn't change is the fact that the sun does still rise EVERY day! That's because it's kept in motion by an unchanging Creator. God says ... Read more
