“Repose is a quality too many undervalue….In the clamor one is irresistibly drawn to the woman who sits gracefully relaxed, who keeps her hands still, talks in a low voice and listens with responsive eyes and smiles. She creates a spell around her, charming to the ear, the eye and the mind. “ …

Paul’s Latest Adventures
Matt working with Paul to install new screens at the University of Mississippi…. Paul’s most recent flight. I love when he sends me photos from his trips. This was an early morning flight to Pennsylvania earlier this week….
Thankful…
A couple of years back, Paul built a chicken house. After suffering several losses from dogs and other area animals, he made what we call the “chicken mansion”. When he first started construction, there were lots of giggles about how someone could actually live in that house. No more laughing. A storm blew through our state last night. The wind…
Essential Oils
Jessa and I spent some time yesterday mixing up some blends with our essential oils: We used some recipes provided on the Young Living FB page. I’m excited to try some…have you mixed up your own blends??
Freezer Foods
Ok…another day of not cooking for the freezer. 🙂 Crystal, wrote about this idea on her blog. What a great idea and an easy lunch even the little Lamberts to pull out of the freezer! We made three loaves of bread into freezer sandwiches this morning. Each one was tucked neatly into a folding-flap sandwich bag and then stacked neatly…
Cleaning Toys
Cleaning is always more fun when you are cleaning toys. 🙂 A bathtub filled with soapy water and mega-blocks…. these toys had become so dirty from all the construction dust. My littles washed them up, and we dried them on towels in the sun this afternoon.
Sweet Blessings
Freezer Cooking
Well, not exactly. I saw this idea on another blog a while back and knew I wanted to try it for our home. Mama used to bring the children Go-Gurts when she would come for a visit. We kept them frozen. They thought of them more like popsicles. This week, as we’re stocking the freezer with meals and snacks for…
Happy Birthday, Timothy!!
And he’s 12!!! The Lord knew I needed an easy child the year he gave Timothy to me! His birthday is 02-20-02. 😀 He is the most easy-going, wonderful little guy. Joyful, almost always. My pregnancy with him was not so easy. In fact, after two miscarriages, and my pregnancy being threatened with yet another, I really wasn’t at all…
Paint Party- House Update
I haven’t been so good at posting house updates. I guess I’ve been busier working than posting. 🙂 Saturday, many of the teens and young adults from our church popped over and helped prime the new kitchen and dining room for paint. What would have taken us HOURS and HOURS, took the whole group much less time. I guess the…
Owen’s Coming Home Outfit
I’ve been meaning to post photos of little Owen’s coming home outfit for several weeks. It is all clean, covered and ready to take to the hospital. These little Feltman Brothers outfits have been a long standing tradition in my family for decades. I have one that I wore coming home. My mama bought one for each of my babies…
Couponing Again
It has been A LONG TIME since I’ve done any serious couponing for my home. I knew I had reached a new low when I had to actually pay for toothpaste. There was just no time to continue last year. I was very thankful for the stockpile we had of personal supplies. It lasted for months and months, but now…
