A Man After God’s Heart
A movie I’d watch again. Last night, the kids and I piled on the couch and watched David. It’s been available on Netflix (but also on Angel and to purchase on Amazon and Apple) since about last Wednesday.

Lovely May Things
[My first] recap of a beautiful month A Song Some days are harder than others. But what helps me is focusing on the positive, starting with what I thank God for.

“What is fabric between friends?”
One of the most kindest gestures I’ve ever experienced I’ve already changed into my comfy Sunday afternoon clothes but what I got to wear to church this morning is still very much on my mind.

It was my birthday, so I made you a gift!
Thoughts, gifts, and a day I take to breathe In case you’re new to my musings, for the past few years, I’ve taken the day of my birthday off from work for rare hours all to myself. While this isn’t common for a part-time working wife and mom of three, I’m thinking it’s not at…
