Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to attend the She Speaks conference put on by the Proverbs 31 Ministry team. If you are not familiar with Proverbs 31, they are a large non-denominational ministry focused on bringing women into relationship with Christ. Every morning one of their devotionals slides into my mail box with a daily dose of what the doctor ordered. I adore everything they do. Devouring my daily dose has lead me to feel as if I am BFF's with this God lovin' group of ... continue reading...

It felt like I drove past it 50 times. This blue Adirondack chair buried under boxes on the curb waiting for bulk trash day. It was between our house and the baseball park where all three of my kids had practices and games, so you know we were really burning up the road between the two.

Today I'm sprucing up a wooden serving tray I got for a dollar at a local flea market. I've been eyeing all the gorgeous furniture I've been seeing gussied up with napkin print. Have you seen some?
