An Unexpected Tea Party

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family

Happy Tuesday sweet readers! I hope your week is off to a great start. It has turned hot and dry in our Appalachian Foothills and I believe summer has arrived!

“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24:3-4‬ ‭
‭
Some of the sweetest moments come from the unexpected, the unplanned, the serendipitous! One such moment happened this past Saturday afternoon.

Our daughter-in-love texted and said the girls want to come and play. Yes, of course! Five minutes later they arrived. Queen Ella Mae was carrying the case with the unicorn tea set that we had recently given for her fifth birthday. She greeted me with a hug, a kiss, and immediately asked if we could have a tea party. Princess Emma Kennedy agreed it was a wonderful idea.READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 342

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:8-9‬

Happy Sunday! With temps around 90 today and possibly mid-nineties coming tomorrow, I had to remind myself of something so I would not be whining and complaining. It has only been a short time since I was griping about the cold and late frost, wondering will it ever be warm. So, as I worked all day outside yesterday, I tried my best to remember that this was a day the Lord had made and I must rejoice and be glad in it!READ MORE

Red White & Blue For Memorial Day

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

Hello sweet friends. The weather was absolutely gorgeous this past weekend and we enjoyed working in the garden and just being outdoors. How was your weekend? I hope it was wonderful as well!

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91:1-2‬

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my lovely friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley. We are honored to welcome a special guest today.

We will celebrate Memorial Day on Monday, May 31st. Most of us consider it the beginning of summer. We plan outdoor barbecues, picnics by the lake, beach trips, and parades. It is important to remember the true meaning of the holiday. It is a day dedicated to honor the fallen soldiers, those that never came home, that fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

You will find the links for my talented friends at the end of this post.

Our special guest is one of the sweetest bloggers, Shannon from Belle Bleu Interiors. She has a gorgeous home decorated in her signature French country style, a personal favorite of mine. Shannon shares her love for all things home with her readers.READ MORE
