I am no organizing genius. My idea of Spring Cleaning is 1. Take item. 2. Open a door. 3. Throw item in room. 4. Close door. Repeat with drawers and cabinets. Just the other day the Happy Hubby went to get some Advil from the medicine cabinet and 3 pillows fell out on his head. But I do enjoy a tidy … [Read more...] about The Car Bin

Happy Birthday, Happy Baby.
Dear Happy Baby, The day you were born and they whisked you away in respiratory distress, the Lord whispered to my spirit that you would be just fine.

And waiting for Christmas to come was like waiting for NASA to figure out how to send people to Mars. I often asked my parents, "Are we … [Read more...] about Waiting for Resurrection Day

I absolutely love the tradition of 'egging' someone's house. If you haven't heard of it before, no, it does not mean you chuck raw eggs at your neighbor's windows.
