  It is such a privilege to have Brittany Brazzell as a guest on the blog today!  She and her family are missionaries on deputation heading to the...

"Mommy's" Ice Cream Cake has now become a birthday favorite.  The first one started a couple years ago.  My son wanted a mint ice cream cake.  What is a mommy to do but get creative?  So, I made him one with chocolate mint ice cream and chocolate mint cookies.

Sitting here, Bible open, soft breeze blowing, listening to the lovely melody of the birds, a peace and contentment flood my soul.  

 

I have everything I'v ever dreamed of!

"One day one of the therapists asked me, "Why are you always so happy?"  I honestly had not really even thought much about it.   But, in reality, I was going through the start of one of the most difficult trials in my life.  A trial that doesn't end on this side of Heaven.  I didn't always feel 100% happy.   It was at that moment that I realized, I was happy on the outside, but deep inside I was in pain.  I had a plan for my life that I thought was the same plan that God had for my life." 

Children are the greatest blessings the Lord gives, but it is so easy to just fall into bed after saying goodnight.  Having children causes you to be more purposeful and plan in those dates.  So I have put together a list of "date ideas" you can do at home, and also a free or low cost going out list. 

Valentine's Day is almost here!  You can tell by all the reds and pinks, flowers and hearts everywhere.  Whether you are going to a Valentine banquet, restaurant with your loved one....or chick-fil-a with the kids... I've put together a list of my top 6 Valentine outfit picks.

Valentine's Day comes at the perfect time...right when we are all ready for warm weather.  Changing the weather might be hard, but we can warm the hearts of our families with some of these ideas.

 

Six years ago I decided to do a week of Valentine's for my little loves.  It was so fun, and I thought you might enjoy it too!

Does feeling like you are not good enough hold you back from serving the Lord?  Is it true humility to not serve because someone else would do it better?   The Lord used two things to work on my heart.  A man named Bill Winstead was one.  I remember when we were missionaries visiting a conference he was speaking at.  He requested that I play the piano.  I politely, "humbly" said that there were pianists there more talented than I, and maybe they should play instead.  His response left me shocked.

Have you tried growing your hair out, only to chop it off again because you're so frustrated at the breakage and dead ends?  My hands raised...been there!  Seems like I would take a step forward and ten steps back (or maybe I should say an inch forward and ten inches back).

You've got your neutrals.  Today we're going to be talking about adding color and carefully curating your closet to fit your style.  It's not about the number.  It's about a closet that flows and fits together, and more importantly, that makes you feel confident.

Do you have an entire wardrobe filled with clothing, but still when it's time to get ready for an event you still can't find anything to wear?  Or maybe tons of shirts, lots of skirts...but they don't go together?  I'm over here raising my hand because I could say YES to both of those questions, and plenty more.   One Saturday morning I had had enough...

Modest dresses used to be so hard to find! However, that’s definitely changed with the rise of online shopping. As a modest fashion blogger, I’ve had so much fun discovering modest online brands. For example, Jessy Kate has so many beautiful, on-point dresses. But, with so many options, finding the best dress for YOU can be a bit overwhelming.
