In last couple weeks, we have had decisions placed in our household to make. I like the easy decisions like... My child is crawling out the crib... Decision: move them to a bed. Should I get that new pair of pants... Decision: The budget is empty, done deal. My friend is sick and needs help … Continue reading Decisions

How are your goals doing?
The third week of 2014 has begun. My goals are written and I'm still working to arrange my schedule to make the most of my time, so that, come December goals are achieved. But, I am also playing catch-up, still working on urgency of the moment items, and still not as organized as I would … Continue reading How are your goals doing?
Oh my Goodness….
It's here! Christmas is here the end of the work day, my last work day before Christmas! (My sympathies to those who have to work over Christmas.) I have one work errand to run and then it is off to make a birthday cake for Jesus... something my little guy gives a great big excited … Continue reading Oh my Goodness….
Fog, Work & a Tree
It is a marvelous thing to have work to do. All day long the fog has hovered outside my window as I have had the privilege of completing another full day of designing drafts for various projects and people. The fog actually brings a comfort to sitting and working all day. I do not feel as … Continue reading Fog, Work & a Tree
Thanksgiving… It is here!!!
I am so excited that Thanksgiving is on Thursday! I can hardly wait to see everyone and celebrate. I found coloring place-mats at Target and thankfully bought the exact number of people coming so far... unless there is someone else who joins in! Want a place to go where the cooking will be done for … Continue reading Thanksgiving… It is here!!!

The words are the theme for the holiday season at Journey Church in Worthington, MN. They are a … Continue reading Beautiful Disruption
But God
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him [God], and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 These popular verses ring so true, but are so difficult to walk in. I'm not sure where your Monday morning finds you, but I … Continue reading But God
Productive & Thankful
The gardening season at the Haxton house came to near completion this weekend... with the exception of a few broccoli plants all of the potatoes, onions, tomatoes and peppers were dug up, picked and brought inside. My sister looked up spaghetti recipes and two large pots of spaghetti sauce were made... the equivalent of 10 … Continue reading Productive & Thankful
What are you busy with?
Schedules have become so full it is crazy! My husband came home last night having found a recent article about bedtime stories: In a new poll, only 13 percent of British moms said they read a story to their children every night, even though three-quarters recalled being read to on a daily basis when they … Continue reading What are you busy with?
Fall is here!
Fall classroom units are planned, children are back at their desks, gardens are producing harvest, and football is beginning again. Signs that fall is here! Each season brings new beginnings. I love starting the fall activities at our church and seeing kids start a new grade (which somehow makes them seem older so quickly!). The … Continue reading Fall is here!
