My husband, who even when I make more work and set us back about a week, still finds a way to bless me with his positive spirit

AROUND THE BLOG THIS WEEK
Whew! We've had a busy week here around the blog! In case you missed it...
We kicked off our Featured Farmers series (also known as "Help! Ally Doesn't Know What the Heck She's Doing!") with a post by Amy of A Farmish Kind of Life. Check it out!
Finding God in the Quiet
Amazingly, I somehow missed the memo that sometimes, to really hear God, it's best if I'm not filling up my days with background noise. A good reminder, for sure.
5 Painting Tips for the Truly Amateur
Five painting tips and things I learned while painting the entire interior of my house. Painting doesn't have to be complicated. Left to my own devices, I almost always make it complicated.
Let's just say it. If I didn't have #1 going on, my house would not be painted right now. No joke.
Such wonderful blessings. As I look around our place, I really appreciate someone coming over to help. Today my father is helping my husband build a storage shed/guest cabin. The help is so welcome.
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome to the new nephew.
Thank you!
DeleteAnd yes, an extra set of hands is a huge blessing- and even more so when those hands are connected to someone we love! =)
I love the spider web. (I like spiders and snakes. I am terrified of horses and mice. I know I am weird.)
ReplyDeleteI really need to start writing mine out!!! I always love reading yours
