Into the Land of Pinterest

I caved due to the peer pressure.

I went for it.

I am a goner.

I am now on Pinterest.

I am still figuring it all out, but so far I am enjoying it.

In fact, since I started blogging, I have been daydreaming about an app that would allow me to collect ideas in one place like the manilla folder that holds all my torn out magazine pages.

Um, yeah, that's what Pinterest is.

Hmmm maybe I should have bought into this idea earlier.

Oh well, live and learn.

So the next step for me is getting up a Pintrest link on my blog. I've been doing a little research on that, but it isn't suited for my IPad so I'll have to get some time in the office on the desktop to do that.

That's all part of learning the ins and outs of blogging I suppose!

Who are some of your favorites to follow on Pinterest? As always I truly enjoy and appreciate every comment and love hearing from you!

Have a lovely day!

P.S. I am absolutely going to try making one of these!

Changes

I was cleaning today, which gave me time to think, and thinking always leads me here. The house is 'weekend messy', so decided to clean my floors, because The Nester says if your floors are clean the rest of the house feels clean too, even if it isn’t. I have found that it is pretty good advice, so when everything else feels chaotic, I clean the floors. Of course for me, cleaning the floors also means picking up the toys, shoes, clothes, etc. so that I can even begin to vacuum, which naturally leads to a cleaner home as well. While cleaning up I began to think about how this blog has evolved over the years, from a desire to write like The Nester about home, into what it is now. I started writing this blog when I was dreaming of building a new home. Then plans changed, life took turns, and we ended up in a home so different than I expected and so perfect for our family. Somewhere along the way I realized that home wasn’t in the walls that went up or in ...

The Farmer

I trust that, by now, you have all seen the commercial heard round the world. You know, the one that stopped all action and silenced a nation when the soft rumble of that voice drifted into living rooms on a Super Bowl Sunday. Yes that commercial . Paul Harvey's voice, unmistakable in its sincerity and beauty, spoke of a people whom work from sun up till sun down with no recognition. He spoke of a people whom care for their baby animals and pour their blood, sweat and tears into helping them grow. He spoke of a people, so foreign to many in the world today. He spoke of a people whom many have forgotten. He spoke of a people; my people. The farmer. I am a fourth generation farmer married to a fourth generation farmer. Together we are raising the fifth generation. We don't do it because its easy, it's not. The hours my husband spends working rival that of any doctor or lawyer I have ever met. We don't do it because it's profitable, some years it...

Ordinary Magic

I am still here. Despite all the challenges of the past year, you are reading this and I am writing it, so we we made it. I won't even try to wrap up what we have all been through, I am just going to acknowledge we all lived and processed through the past year by whatever means necessary. As I look back on it, it's crazy to think how much fear and heartache the last year held but also how much joy and ordinary life as well. It's been quiet here on the blog as some of you have noticed and checked in on me. The quiet gave way to the most exciting thing though, I am now a published author, along with some incredible friends! The devotional, Lighthouse Collections— Beacons of Light in Life's Storms, is a work of passion and prayers. My dear friend Megan Miller contacted me last year about contributing to a devotional and I was thrilled to be included. Between going back to school for my Masters degree and writing for the devotional, I had not found the time or the words t...
