Holiday Travels

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving yesterday!

I had the joy of being able to travel to see my lovely sister.
It was quite the different holiday for me. I'm used to helping my mom in the kitchen,
as more people pour in the door and the living rooms fill up, and children run back
and forth up and down the hallway. But this year I made one dish, prepped one more, 
and sat back and relaxed. It was pretty sweet! 

What did you do yesterday?

Philippians 2:3-5

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus

Thankful Thursday: Gifts

The fun things about this outfit:

Sweater - Free, Jeans - Buckle, Shoes - Target, Bracelet - Thrfited, Necklace - HomeMade

This necklace started from an old chain found in my mom's garage and a short skirt 

that makes a tall girl like me look like I'm showing a little too much badonkadonk.

Here's how I created it:

1. Pick some materials.

2. Cut strips of fabric. (try to choose something that doesn't fray) 

3. Get your piles of fabrics set out and ready to go.

4. Tie lots of knots!

5. Wear that thing like a boss!

All this brings me to what I'm thankful for...

I'll be joining my sister Rachel for her monthly theme of Thankful Thursdays. 

So appropriately kicking off today on Thanksgiving!

I'm so incredibly thankful for having the ability to cut strips of fabric. And that I'm able to tie a knot. 

I love that I have a mind that can be creative when I see an old skirt and a bulky chain. 

I'm just so incredibly grateful that God has given me the gift of craftiness... I know it's not on

the list of spiritual gifts, but I'm claiming it as God given anyways! 

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the

Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Bunny Ears?

My sister, mom and I have a thing... It's called LOVE.

Seriously, our bond is special. We don't agree on everything. In fact we've been known to have an argument or two. But I know that through thick and thin, I always have these two! They are such a huge gift from God to me. I am forever grateful to have them in my life.

All that to say, my sister {My Wholesome Home} lives farther away than I'd like. 

Well, farther away than she'd like too. And I miss her. 

So even for an hour of her flying through town... I take advantage of getting together! 

In usual iPhone generation fashion, I asked a stranger to take some pictures of the 3 of us 

jolly musketeers. After taking a couple, I jockingly kicked my mom out for a sister shot. 

We caught her sneaking up behind us with a couple pairs of ...

You guessed it folks... "bunny ears"

Will it ever get old?

No really, I'm asking... Will people ever stop with the bunny ears? 

Life questions people. Life questions!

LOVE THESE TWO!!!

Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

4Days of Red, White, & Blue: #2 Cupcakery

The fun things about this outfit:

Shoes - Target, Dress - Hand-Me-Down, Belt - Thrifted, Necklace - Home Made

Day 2 of Red, White, Blue! And this is one of my faves! A Made-By-Me necklace, a Hand-Me-Down Dress, and a $0.50 belt! Now we're talking, people! Who says hand me downs are tired and worn out?

Not this girl! Not only that, While I wore the outfit I visited my favorite cupcake shop on cute little Main St. in historic downtown. Such delish treats! (I always take the bottom off the cupcake and put it on top...sandwich anyone?)

Moving on...

I talked to my dear sister last night. Not for long, but we made a phone Date for later this week! I miss her! I love her! MMM warm and fuzzies in my heart! I wish I could hug her right now. This week... The whole remembering who is working for our freedoms thing, makes me think of her and her hubs. They are both in the Air Force. He's currently deployed. Yep, serving. Good guy, this one! And she's missing him lots. Uhg... I'd hate to think of her away from family and not with your husband. LOVE YOU RAYBABE!

John 12:35

So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
