Sense & Sensibility Patterns

by @ Friday, July 16th, 2010. Filed under Coffee Chats, Crafts, Woman Stuff

One of my ALL-TIME favorite movies is Sense & Sensibility.  Oh, how I love Jane Austen…  Oh how I love movies set in Georgian, Edwardian, or Romantic eras… Of course, I have to love this site too:  Sense & Sensibility Patterns. Can I confess that I would TOTALLY dress like this all the time if [...]

Do You have a Kindle?

by @ Tuesday, July 6th, 2010. Filed under Health and Beauty, Woman Stuff

Now I can’t imagine plopping down a few hundred dollars for an e-reader, but as the price drops more and more, I might consider it someday. In the meantime, I have downloaded the Kindle application (from Amazon.com) and have been downloading *mostly* free ebooks.  Most of these books are in the public domain because the [...]

Book Review: Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge

There are a handful of books, outside the Bible, that have had a lifelong impact on me.  While I have always enjoyed reading, I can say that I was moved deeply by the substance of Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul (Revised and Expanded) by John and Stasi Eldredge. From the back cover: [...]

Springing into Summer Blooms

Has Spring filled up your yard or local park with riotous color and scent? I love several flowers in Spring, but  my 2 favorites are lilacs and peonies.  Around here, Lilacs are fully bloomed and my peonies are growing a multitude of buds.  I’m SO excited to see them coming.  There is something so feminine [...]

Great Women of God on the Web *Updated*

by @ Tuesday, April 13th, 2010. Filed under Cup of Faith, Woman Stuff

This is what I love about the World Wide Web – it is NOT just a stream of useless, endless, worthless information.  Thankfully, some of God’s chosen have elected to make their mark in this virtual space, and I am so thankful for them. There are many Christian sites I visit throughout my weeks – [...]

It All Started With Eve

If you’ve been reading about Esther with me this week, we have learned about a young woman with character, grace and beauty.  Esther was a winner.  She won the notice and respect of those around her, won a king’s heart, and won the life of her people, despite an evil man’s schemes. We all want [...]

Kindle a Love for Reading

Do you have a Kindle or other electronic book reader? Well, the standalone versions are QUITE expensive, but I did find the Kindle for PC download on Amazon.com and have been downloading some of my favorite old books & writings from really great authors like: Louisa May Alcott C.S. Lewis Martin Luther I’ve been able [...]

Great Reads!

Now that classes are over, I’m diving into a stack of collected books that have been begging me to read them for weeks. I happened to read Maureen O’Hara‘s memoirs, Tis Herself, last week – I’m a quick reader and a big fan of auto- and biographies.  She’s one of my favorite actresses, was a [...]

So I’ve been on an extended “Coffee” Break, I know.  But good things are happening.  School wraps up tomorrow night, for about 10 weeks, and then I’ll start summer classes.  This has been another challenging semester, and reprioritizing has been necessary. I was hoping to unveil a beautiful new website, but that’s on hold for [...]
