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 ...

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...

Happiness

I am a New Years girl. I love goals and check lists and I love the feeling of a fresh start, but resolutions have never been my thing. A few year ago I began picking a word for the year and I found that it works really well for me. Setting a word for the year has helped me to focus on a quality that I want to grow in myself. Last years word was ‘ intentional ’. It was a full year and in a lot of ways a really hard year. Being intentional with my words, thoughts and actions helped me to really lean into the relationships in my life. The past year felt somber though. It was good and I grew more than I could have imagined, but it also felt serious and deep. I need some relief. This year after praying over it and considering what I would like more of in the coming year, I knew that my word for 2019 had to be 'happiness'. I want more laughter, more spontaneity, more fun in 2019 and none of those things come naturally to me. I thought about words like joy and contentment b...
