Homemaking Tip for this week:
Use a chalk line in your garden to make straight rows - it works GREAT!
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
My friend, Amy, has been working through some tough decisions over the past few months. I love how her and her family have searched for God's direction and found it. While the best decision isn't always the easiest decision, God rewards those who are faithful to him. You can read more about her decision here. Being a mom is tough, but we are here to do what is best for our children - and I think Amy shows this in her family.
Favorite photo from last week (actually last month!):
Lesson learned the past few days:
Ruth is such an example of godliness and faithfulness. She was a woman of excellence and we should strive to be like her.
On my Prayer List:
MF's confirmation
Brad's grandpa - will most likely have surgery this week
Brad's mom for strength as she deals with all the uncertainties regarding Grandpa
Our family
Our country
Our servicemen
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
"Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing, but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." I Peter 3:3-4
your bedside table looks like mine did a few weeks ago lol how do you like the books?
Sounds like you had a busy day. I love the photo.
~blessings, Sarah
I love that scripture. Have a great week.
I love your blog layout.
I love the book Lies Women Believe. God used this book to speak a major direction He wanted in my life.
Happy Homemaker Monday

That's a great tip!
Hey--the CBD catalog is on my bedside table too. I need to find some books for my almost 10 year old.
I love the verse you shared, especially since I am an au natural kinda girl--almost no makeup, hate to dress up, and hate to "do" my hair. I will work more on cultivating my gentle spirit. :0)
I don't know your e-mail or how to find it but mine is tiffanypatterson@embarqmail.com
We can be FB friends!
You are busy I can see! And I bet your garden will be fabulous.
I just made a list for tomorrows work and I am a little intimidated...
But I also wanted to say I am posting your daughters fabulous apron picture tomorrow too! I hope you enjoy. :)
Great day post. Will keep your prayers close....meatloaf sounds really good and I need to do it before the raging hot temps come in.
That's hilarious that you and Amy both chose each other's posts as favorites !!
Just stopping in via TAG. Your daughter is adorable in that chef hat and apron. Made my morning!
Your blog is great, glad I stopped by to see you.
Have a Blessed Day!
Carrie
great post! have a wonderful day. p.s. saw your daughter's pic on the apron goddesses page...she's adorable :-)
Great post. I love the scripture. I with I could learn to memorize more. Guess I need to put forth more effort. I like your blog
A very thoughtful post. Enjoy your niece's confirmation - what a special day!
How'd the whole wheat bread turn out? I'd like to make that from scratch.
Hi, Sarah,
It sounds like you're keeping good and busy.
Later on it will be fun to see photos of all that grows in your garden.
We still have a few things to put in. I purchased a small packet of zucchini seeds today, and I would like to plant a patch of sunflowers as well.
