The Welcome Home Posted on January 15, 2022January 15, 2022 By pamela For a few months we had been inching toward the sale of our home. One year ago today was the first of three days of showings. We’d been blindly taking steps forward, guided by the unseen Hand. Now over twenty five years ago we were looking for a home that… Read more
Home Sweet Home Lists Are Tools Posted on April 2, 2018 By pamela After writing last week how I dealt with starting out unprepared, my friend wrote about lists I used to have on my walls. So I thought I’d continue on today sharing about lists and how to use them — remembering: lists are tools, they’re simply tools. Again, I wasn’t born… Read more
Tiny Houses Posted on July 13, 2015July 14, 2015 By pamela Have you ever imagined your life as something completely different than it is today? I don’t mean doing different things or changing jobs or whatever — I mean, living in a home that is a completely different type of home than you’ve been accustomed to living in all your life….

Our House Our Welcome Home Posted on May 4, 2015May 4, 2015 By pamela ♫ Never_Walk_Alone We stepped inside the front doorway of our new house nineteen years ago. From that moment, this nearly one hundred year old farmhouse felt like home to me. In my notebook that I carried most everywhere I went was a page of notes — prayer requests, actually. And… Read more
Springtime is coming… Posted on February 19, 2013February 19, 2013 By pamela I’ve been browsing the seed catalogs, the websites and books for “what to do this month” in (or about) the garden. I must admit: I’m anxious. Very anxious for Spring to come. But then, you probably already knew that. You know, though, I’m sure not as weary for Springtime as… Read more

Posted on January 7, 2013 By pamela You’ve likely heard the phrase: “Do what you love, love what you do.” Well… I got to thinking about that phrase sometime back and thought: one can’t always do that. And then I thought, maybe I feel like I can’t always do what I love [to do], but I can… Read more
Gifts from your ♥ home Posted on December 3, 2012December 3, 2012 By pamela Each year, about this time, I refer to a “Christmas” page I created on our website and though it’s probably been up (and rarely updated) for the last ten or twelve years, it remains a great resource for me — and I hope it will be for you, too. Regardless… Read more
Cake Pops Posted on November 23, 2012 By pamela A little more traveling around… this time, I want to share with you a fun idea: Cake Pops! You’ve no doubt seen these in shoppes and Starbucks… but you don’t need to pay the high price to try one of these or to share them with your family. You can… Read more

Family It’s a Time to Rejoice Posted on December 6, 2011December 6, 2011 By pamela Through the years we’ve celebrated “Christmastime” many different ways — some years a little, some years more.
