  • Fresh flowers and herbs…simple

    One of the things that my husband makes most fun of is my lack of green thumb. My plants like staying at the nursery instead of being in my garden.

  • Less is more…

    While reading an article on a business magazine I came across some words that for months have been re-appearing in different ways. In in my heart, on social media posts, on images, on conversations with my husband, friends and our home group from church as well. It seems that everyone wishes to accomplish more with less.
