Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...

In Bed, In the Bath, and On The Bus
Einstein said most of his best ideas came to him in bed, in the bath, and on the bus—places where it was inconvenient or impossible to write anything down. Okay, so I’m not a theoretical physicist, but I can relate. Sound asleep, in the shower, surrounded in traffic, strolling through Target, or in my yard—those are my Einstein moments. After losing more ideas than I care to count, however, I...
Can I Save You Some Time?
It's a fact. I have a proclivity for discovering newfangled ways of redeeming my time—perhaps to a fault.It's also a fact that I assume everyone else wants to make the most of their time as well (just ask Brian after I discover a shortcut to our destination...on second thought, don't).This is one of those times.Feedburner emails me a detailed account of my blog hits every week.
