life’s simplest pleasures and life’s greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
I love the holidays! About this time of year I think about holiday preparations. Mostly at this point I am thinking about how I can ensure we have slow, meaningful, and fun holiday? I am hoping I can prepare in a way that helps us remember the reason for the season and soak up our time as a family. […]
I am a gardener. I didn’t really know that until around 2009 just after I was married and had my own home with a small spot of land. My instincts kicked in and I wanted to make the house a home. As I walked the yard I began to picture what I wanted. I started […]
So this week I’ll be coming at you with bits of encouragement. My goal here on Inspiration Clothesline is always to inspire you! My hope… that you can relate, find yourself in something I share, or identify in some way. This week I am hoping I can encourage your heart and mind – maybe you […]
I’m coming at you for a quick post on Friday afternoon. I need a do over. Ever need one of those? Well today I’m desperate for a fresh start so it’s 3:00pm and when I get up from my desk… I’m officially pressing the reset button. The reset started with a shower and some good […]

Last night I set to baking some breakfast muffins for my big boys, two of them start preschool tomorrow. As I searched Pinterest and pulled out the kitchen tools I would need to make this recipe something stopped me dead in my tracks. It was a texture and the smell, all-too-familiar. You see these orange […]
This month a new Illustrated Faith Kit was produced by DaySpring Cards and boy is it different. The new Persevere Kit is a big change! I believe change is good, although many of us would say “I’m not good with change.” It’s when things change that we can grow, that we are given an opportunity […]
Motherhood in all it’s glory, hardship, personal challenge, growth, and just plain confusion. I have been transformed by motherhood, it is the single most transformative journey I have been on.
