Just Close Your Eyes

May 23, 2012July 11, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on Just Close Your Eyes

“mom the sun is in my eyes!”

A Little Stitching

January 25, 2012Mary Jo4 Comments on A Little Stitching

I’ve had the sewing machine out and busy lately. First I made some gifts for a little baby girl I’m excited about being here. Then I did something I’ve been meaning to do for a LONG time. A towel recovery project.

Irresistible Word

January 19, 2012Mary Jo3 Comments on Irresistible Word

I tiptoed out into the dark kitchen a little before 6:00 this morning and got some coffee started. There was one brownie left on the plate and I never want to see the boys fighting over something like that (that’s why all mom’s eat dessert right?) so I…

Who is Your God?

January 9, 2012July 16, 2021Mary Jo1 Comment on Who is Your God?

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

October 24, 2011Mary JoLeave a Comment on That Laundry Room Re-Do I Started Back in March

I finally finished painting the green paint in the laundry room. I was surprised how far a gallon of paint didn’t go. As I realized how much I was using I decided to leave the nook under the stairwell unpainted and I’m glad I did. I had barely enough…
