Honesty

-
In an effort to continue my previous post about presenting ourselves honestly, I thought I'd show you just how perfect I am NOT!!!

Here are a few hot spots around my house today.

Computer desk. Yes, there are dust bunnies under the monitor! Believe it or not, I actually decluttered quite a bit in this spot today.

Upstairs landing. I keep a table up there where I can put a child to work independently. However, as you can see, there is not much room to work.

Kitchen counter.

Basket of clothes and slippers that have been sitting in the same spot for the past 2 days.

Counter top. This is the worse spot for clutter in the whole house. This is my number one goal for the week. Clean up this mess!

I have a shelf for piano books. I have a shelf for regular books. But somehow they always manage to be left right where you see them.

Living room. Now, I can say that this is NOT my mess. Guess who is going to clean this one up? All I can say is that her name is not Terri!

So there you have it. I am not perfect (gasp)! I know you're all probably going to stop reading my blog now but I thought I should be honest with you. LOL!

    I LOVE the picture of Emily playing with her farm stuff! My Amber would be her forever friend and they would play farm all the time! That is her favorite thing to do besides look at books.
    And just to let you know it is good to see that someone elses house is "lived in" also! Not messy, just lived in!

    Good show, Terri! Now, I guess we will all have to fess up. I for one would prefer to keep you guessing :-D Oh, well, I might as well get it over with--my house is not always in the best order either.

    Actually, that is one of the problems of the playlist. When you view a new page it starts all over.

    Hi Misty! Michelle never told me she went to a church plant. Very neat :-). Isn't church planting fun and challenging at the same time? LOL!

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...

A Mindful Year

This year has been strange to say the least, and has not gone exactly the way I expected. A good chunk of the first part of 2025 was spent helping with my in-laws before my mother-in-law passed away the day after Easter. And as we are entering into the last part of 2025 I think the word, mindful, is an accurate description of how the year as gone so far. In fact, I was browsing in a local book store and found this book entited, A Mindful Year. It is a journal of daily writing prompts and I just started it the other day.  I've worked at being intentional in many of the areas of my life and I think "mindful" is a good word to use.  I've been mindful in taking time to pray, read, and hear what God is saying to me.  I've been mindful in getting in many days of exercise each week, especially getting out and walking and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. I've been intentional with family and taking time for them. I've been mindful in my other relationship...

Paper Crafting Wednesday

Kelli hosts this each week and I always enjoy the opportunity to sit down and make some cards. For those of you who have noticed an abundance of crafty posts on cards, I do have some sewing projects in the works and I'll share some of them soon! I wasn't thrilled with any of these cards this week. I really need to get some more supplies but I'm trying to use what I have first. I really feel like this one needs a ribbon or something. Anyway, I was not feeling particularly inspired last night but thought I'd share them anyway.
