Today’s post is brought to you by my busy college intern, Erica Graphman. Do you ever have those days where you have so much on your plate that you don’t know where to start and you end up not doing anything? I’ve been finding myself with this problem more and more this year. Everyone repeatedly tells me I need to …
Strongs Girls can wear bonnets, too!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Just because you’re a Strong Girl doesn’t mean you don’t like to feel feminine and wear pretty things! Sometimes I wish Easter Bonnets were still in vogue. I love hats. And I’m one of those girly girls that loves frilly things as well as bling and glamor. My style runs from …
Vintage Easter
As you may know, I love vintage postcards and graphics. Here are a few for you to enjoy and laugh at and wonder what on earth they were thinking when they made them. You could print the ones you like to use as place cards at your Easter table. Although, I must say, I had a difficult time finding any …
Erica’s Edition: Homesick College Student
With almost three years of college under my belt, I never thought I’d say I’m homesick. Last weekend was Little Sibs Weekend at Manchester, and even though my brother is older than the age they allow sibs to come he still came to stay for Friday and Saturday. My mom dropped him off to me on Friday afternoon and she …
Interview with H2 TV host and author, Scott Wolter of America Unearthed

World Autism Awareness Day
I believe in confirmations from the Lord that I’m on the right track. And lately, with the hardships my family has experienced, I needed a little boost of confidence. Today is Autism Awareness Day. It’s a very special day for me because I am a Mom of twin adults (age 19) with autism. And it’s also a special day because …
April Fools Day
I don’t care for pranks as a rule. However, I admit to being party to a few. But I can honestly count on one hand the number of high jinks I’ve participated in. The worst prank played on my husband and I was when so-called friends put Vaseline all over our van’s door latches. I had my arms full of …
