My Sweet Peas. My girlies. My Ashty Poo and Little One. I am thinking about how blessed I am to be your Mom. I can't believe that God chose ME to nurse you, hold you, kiss you on your squishy, puffy cheeks, comfort you, hug you, raise you, love you...I. Just. Can't. My heart is… Continue reading A Letter to My Daughters

Home Decor Fun
What would our world be like without Pinterest and home decor blogs? We would have to rely on our own creativity in decorating our homes.

Your Story Matters
A little bit about my story... I've been married to my chunky hunk, Eric, for 27 years. You know that movie, Madascar 2? Remember the hippo character, Moto Moto? He sang a song, "I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky..." That is a little theme song for Eric and I. Not really, but it… Continue reading Your Story Matters
Tammy’s Table
I have read so many books about hospitality, community, connection, and belonging. I get pumped up. I get jazzed.

Secondly, I still have my beautiful girls living at home. So, no library, reading nook, or "She-Shed" sort of room for me yet.… Continue reading A Son’s Hug

Puppy Love
We have three dogs (fur babies) in our family. Bear (our senior dog at 16) brought all the way from the North Pole one Christmas Eve, Stanley Tucci, (my daughter’s, 6 years old), and yes, named after a fave actor; think The Devil Wears Prada, Hunger Games, Maid in Manhattan, et al, and my very… Continue reading Puppy Love
You Want Me?
Early this year I was asked to take part of something big. It would involve travel to a place I've never been. It would involve leaving my family for a couple weeks. It would involve fully relying on God for all the things: preparation of heart and mind and whatever else the Lord calls me… Continue reading You Want Me?
hey you
Hey you, you single gal, trying to make it on your own. Trying to live on one income. Paying those bills by yourself without a partner to have a budget meeting with or to argue with because you spent too much money at Target. You, grocery shopping by yourself on a Thursday night. You, the… Continue reading hey you
