life's simplest pleasures and life's greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
Today’s “What’s Cooking Wednesday” is brought to you by the new Kitsap Blog Circle. Whitney shared two awesome dinner ideas here on her blog and today I’m doing a baking edition sharing an Italian Lemon Pound Bundt cake that I’m taking to my community moms’ group tomorrow and also re-sharing an old favorite our family […]
I’m super excited to be joining a local Kitsap Blog Circle that will bring you some fun weekly posts. This just means that there’s a collection of ladies who will be sharing favorites with you on a regular basis… What I love about this is that each lady has different interests and strengths so you […]
This book, The Magic of Motherhood, by Ashlee Gadd is so perfectly titled. Magic is so elusive and uncertain, just like Motherhood. It is enthralling, can be exhausting (especially when trying to figure it out), and wholly engaging – mind, body, and spirit. The essays in this book address each of these key components […]

What a great book for kids based on 19 stories from the Bible. Each of the “stories,” portrayed by beautiful two page spreads, highlight words that are perfect for kids 0-5 to learn these key Bible stories and just use simple language. We snagged this to put in an Easter basket for our youngest (1.5) […]
I’m not sure if I’ve had this much fun creating and executing a menu. I think because I tried a lot of new things, had a very open minded audience, and love this special season so much it just was particularly enjoyable to plan. In my “Easter and Eggs” post I asked for your info […]

Finding a children’s book that is this beautifully written and reflectively illustrated is a rare treat. I not only love the quality of the product and the vivid, colorful printing; but even more importantly the story of self-assurance, sense of self and others, and the truth that we are loved by God. This book is […]
