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...
I Wonder
Do you? Wonder, I mean. Many are familiar with gratitude journals but what about a ‘Book of Wonder’? Author Melonie Rae Thon shared how she’s kept a small moleskin journal in her purse for twenty years, jotting down things that prompt wonder and awe—from the obvious to the seemingly insignificant.
