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...
5 Lifestyle Blogs That Change The Way I Do Life
by Cathy Baker @cathysbaker I marvel at the ways the internet has changed the way we do life. At the touch of our fingertips we locate new recipes, learn how to cover popcorn ceilings in creative ways, spiff up our blogs, and countless other things.

Three Books I’m Loving Right Now and Why
by Cathy Baker @cathysbaker My name is Cathy Baker and I am a book snob. Okay, perhaps snob is a little harsh, but I am a bit of a persnickety reader. I admit I’m not an avid reader of fiction, and when I do read it, the pages turn slower. I prefer the feel of a book in my hands over the strain on my eyes reading my e-books, but I still have plenty of those as well. I prefer new books...
5 Ways to Love a Warrior and My February Giveaway! (Hint: Herbal Rose Tea)
By Cathy Baker @cathysbaker I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light. -Helen Keller A handful of women gathered around the planked table in the back corner of the local coffee shop. Teas, lattes, and hearts, were stirred. Some asking God to answer specific prayers, some seeing God answer prayers in spectacular ways, and others patiently waiting for...
