In recent days I’ve been on the look out for a few pieces of modest clothing. I’ve just about lost the last of the baby weight from Elisha Philip and sewing time is at a premium. I stumbled upon the Modest Mom Blog and Deborah & Co (then the Modest Mom) on an internet search…

Where We Are Today
I never really intended to stop blogging and then when I realized I had, I didn’t really intend to start back. But…it seems God and my husband have conspired against me. Jarod has mentioned it to me several times over the past year and then in the last 6 months, I’ve been asked about…

Missing My Old Friend
This picture was taken just a few days before Missy died. She dearly loved and carefully watched over the children! She added such pleasure to the last 13 years of my life…an unexpected gift from God who wandered into my life and took over my heart.
