Real Home, Real Family, Real Life
From the monthly archives:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30 photo [...]

I love 370 projects linked up to DIY Day this week! Y’all are awesome! Cottage guest house tour @ Beneath My Heart (If I had a guest house, I would want it to be just like this. Since I don’t, want to live in Traci’s guest house.) Pom pom lights from paper lanterns @ The [...]

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to our winner, Kathleen of Fireflies and Family. I am super picky about artwork for my home. Most of my artwork is pretty, but not very personal. There are a few photographs, but not a whole lot that shows you what and who I really love. When I discovered [...]

I guess it’s no secret that I’m attending the Blissdom Conference next week. I’m speaking on one of the panels too, but that’s not the point of this post. I may or may not fall off the stage when it’s my turn to talk. Stay tuned. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve read countless [...]

I haven’t made it through everything yet. But I’m getting there! Here are a few of my favorites so far. How to make your kitchen [...]

Remember all those candles from yesterday. I pulled some out and, for about 10 minutes, they looked like this in my dining room. Pretty, right? I think my boys like when I start moving things around. In their eyes, any new display is just a new playground for Star Wars guys. I’m ok with that. [...]

It’s a sickness. I know. I can’t resist candles…especially on clearance. It wouldn’t be so bad if this were the extent of my stash, but it’s not. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Hi, I’m Kimba and I’m a candle-holic. What’s your decorating addiction? ~~~~~~~~~~ DIY Day is still going [...]

How much freedom to you give your kids in decorating their bedrooms? In one sense, I’m lucky because my boys (so far) don’t have strong opinions about things like comforters and paint colors. However, when my older son started rumbling about wanting a Star Wars bedroom like one of his friends, I started shaking a [...]

The devastation in the country of Haiti right now is unimaginable to me. I can’t wrap my mind around that kind of human suffering. I’ll be honest, sometimes my instinct is to turn away because I feel so helpless. But that’s not what we’re called to do. We’re called to help in whatever way we [...]

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I [...]

It is with a broken heart that I’m telling you about the closing of a favorite online shop, Feather Your Nest. It’s owner, Gina, is a blogging friend and has been a sponsor of ASPTL. Last week, Gina experienced the sudden and unexpected loss of her dear husband, Michael. He suffered a heart attack at [...]

This recycling bin wreath @ Gus and Other Things. This cupcake liner valentines wreath @ Tatertots and Jello (Jen’s gonna start thinking I have a crush on her. Pssst. Maybe I do.) But seriously! How could I not love this one??? This gorgeous painted armoire from Playing Sublimely. She may have forgotten to take the [...]

Always late to the party. That’s me. It’s now January 11, 2010 and I have yet to put any real thought into my goals for the new year. In a sense, that’s good. It means I haven’t broken any resolutions yet. After minutes and minutes of intense thought and prayer, I’ve come up with a [...]

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May he give you the desire of your heart and [...]

I’m happy that I moved my blog to WordPress, but there are a couple of Blogger things that I miss. One of them is being able to see all of your pretty faces when you comment on my posts. Since most of you have Blogger accounts (even if you don’t have a blog), your picture [...]
