I’m really sorry these pictures are so bad! This room isn’t the brightest and honestly, I’m still learning about this little gem of a camera my children purchased for me last Christmas. I wanted to share one of my newest projects with you: It’s inspired by this recreation of this Pottery Barn growth chart: (I needed to replace mine after…

This afternoon, I’m watching a sweet six-year-old work a puzzle (again!), given by a very loving big brother.

Jacob’s newest project! I love to watch my children developing new skills. It’s amazing what they can do when given the opportunity!
Christmas Projects, 2011
Shhh…. don’t tell! I’m posting pics of the projects I’m working on for our children this Christmas. We’ve started a few, but this is the one I’ve worked on most: This is a pillow dollhouse for Meredith. I sewed pockets into the back to store the little dolls I’ll be making.

My, my how things change. We have been knee deep in projects around our home. Joshua’s job requires him to have his own office– that meant we needed to add space for this room. Though we were planning on changing our floor-plan at some point in the future, this definitely moved the date up a bit. So, here’s the most…
Memorizing Scripture
Paul and I have been trying to add more Scripture memory to our daily, family routine. I’ve prayed over how to begin- and came up with a few fun ideas focused mostly on our younger children. One, was to make flashcards of a Bible verse for each letter of the alphabet. The Lord really blessed me when last week, rather…
