Things I Love Thursday: Facebook

by @ Thursday, April 8th, 2010. Filed under Coffee Chats, Mommie Stuff, Techie Mommies

As much of a thing as it can be, I LOVE FACEBOOK!!! There are so many places to spend time online, but I have found Facebook to be really valuable in my personal life.  Besides Facebook, there are tons of other places to look for information or find old friends and share information.  Yes, that’s [...]

Keeping House or Keeper At Home

by @ Wednesday, January 27th, 2010. Filed under Cup of Faith, Family & Kids, Mommie Stuff, Parenting, Stewardship

The idea of the housewife in apron and pearls permeates even my line of thinking when it comes to the title “Homekeeper”.  The problem is, that is where the trivialization of this role began.  Being a Keeper At Home is far more valuable than Keeping House. Keeping House implies housework, drudgery, and simple servitude.  A [...]

WFMW: Nicole Johnson’s Invisible Woman

by @ Wednesday, January 13th, 2010. Filed under Coffee Chats, Cup of Faith, Family & Kids, Mommie Stuff

I saw Nicole Johnson’s “Stepping into the Ring” sketch at a Woman of Faith conference about 4 years ago.  She has written a book titled “Fresh Brewed Life” and has a Youtube channel. This is one of her sketches from that: Invisible Woman Oh yeah – this works for me! © 2010, Debbie Taylor. All [...]

Clean Your Desk!

Today is National Clean Your Desk Day. Really. And that’s a good thing.  Cuz if I didn’t have to write about it, I probably would continue to allow my desk to be our CATCH-ALL. My desk is not a desk – it is a shelf for papers, both filed and unfiled – momentos from school [...]

Sigh.  After wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ – plannin’ and dreamin’ each night… I bought my first serious Vera Bradley handbag.  I’ve written about my previous favorite VB item – the All-in-One Wristlet which has been a serious help to my busy life.  And I’ve been using a “Little Betsy” that my sister [...]

Things I Love Thursday: My Purple Pens

I’ve always had a “thing” for office supplies.  Paper.  File folders.  Paper Clips. Ink pens.  I enjoy writing – I like good paper – and I really love good pens. Through the years, in a variety of office settings and personal journaling at home – I’ve learned what I like and what I don’t like.  [...]

Blissfully Domestic: To Be or Not To Be

What does “Blissfully Domestic” mean to you?  I look at this picture and it makes me smile.  I have blue dishwashing gloves – but need a cute apron to complete the outfit. I always think Martha Stewart when I think of anything blissfully domestic.  Of course she has help in her production crews and staff [...]

Things I Love Thursday: My Vera Bradley All-in-One Wristlet

I’m a HUMONGOUS Vera Bradley fan.  The first time I saw a Vera Bradley purse I think I knocked someone down to get a closer look. Seriously.  And I haven’t looked back. I have been blessed to received a few pieces as gifts and use them almost daily.  (The cosmetic bag is awesome because it [...]

Works for Me Wednesday: Take A Nap

Okay – so I am really fatigued lately (due to my “Advanced Maternal Age” and all), and find it NECESSARY to take naps in order to avoid The Zombie Zone.  Sleep Deprivation is my enemy! But let me just throw this out there that sometimes a Nap can be a Mom’s Best Friend.  Forget the [...]
