FREE (Printable!) Gratitude Journal

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I felt it appropriate to finally post my FREE Gratitude Journal Printable. In the past few weeks, I've really been thinking a lot about thankfulness, and it's not just because of Thanksgiving coming up (well, maybe a little bit...). What really brought it to the forefront of my mind was the fact that, last week, the topic was brought to my attention on a few occasions (just in one day!).  Each day I read a few different devotions.  I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I feel like that's the only way anything sinks in during…

Announcing My New (PRINTABLE) 2015 Household Management Binder (and a freebie!)

I'm thrilled to finally release my very own 2015 Household Management Binder! I've been working on it for about a month, and made it available on my Etsy shop yesterday. It's available for $5 right now, but I'll give a free copy to the first three people who comment on this post. I hadn't really planned on putting one together, but the collection I have currently is completely hodgepodge, and I wanted to feel somewhat organized to begin a new year.

I spent quite a while this past month searching for a summer packet for the kids.  Now before you think I'm crazy, I don't make them do schoolwork all summer.  If you saw my last post, you know I love to fit in lots of fun.  But I also hate to think that my kids missed out on great learning opportunities and fell behind just because I decided to let them completely veg out over the summer.  Must be the importance of education that my grandma ingrained in my head. So finally I came across some great packets that I…

Taking Care of Friendship

Today, as I attempted to catch up on the backlog of emails in my inbox, I perused through some of my favorite blogs.  As I was doing so, I happened across a few articles about friendship, the importance of developing friendships, and the like.  It got me thinking.  I don't like to jump on the bandwagon, but when something speaks to me, I feel I need to write it.  (And by the way, you can check out what I read at incourage at The Art of Simple.) On the radio the other day, I heard one person ask another what…
