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...
To Everything – Turn, Turn, Turn…
There is a season - turn, turn, turn.... Leaves aren't twirling downward and noses are nowhere on Jack Frost's radar, but there is a new season quickly approaching—a new season of life, that is. Remember this post? I can now share that the "step of faith" referred to was my resigning from teaching an amazing group of men and women at our church.

Friends from the past reunite for an evening of music, catching up, and a ton of laughter. My best friend (hubby,...

When I spotted Tatertots & Jello (how creative!) on Ann Voskamp's recent post, I knew scouting it out would be time well spent—and I wasn't disappointed.

Worship: No Words Necessary
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4(picture taken during my morning stroll on the...
