The highlight of my week was speaking at A Woman Inspired!

I enjoyed meeting such wonderful women and listening to some great speakers! And, in spite of my public speaking phobia,  I have agreed to speak again in the fall for their Nuturing Creativity Conference. If you didn’t get to go this time, consider going to one of their future events!

Blessings to you all this Easter!

    Melissa you crack me up! Some gals might not be describing it as “sweet” that a blogger is talking about her behind her back. Only you!

    Enjoy a wonderful joy-filled Easter weekend!

    Have a wonderful Easter! In keeping with our goal of simplifying, we haven’t done any major decorating or gift-purchasing- instead I’ve been making little crafts with my daughter, and we’ve been talking about the Resurrection a lot. In a word from one of my favorite hymns “Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!”

    Have a beautiful weekend with your family-

    Lovely ideas to celebrate Easter! We love to do natural Easter eggs using the Araucana eggs—they are already colored amazing blues, turquoise and soft olives. We marvel at how gorgeous they are.

    I am usually fashionably late to a party, not rudely late with disheveled clothing and sand in my hair, but I hope y’all will hang out with me anyway. Thanks for hosting this week, Melissa!
