Love Comes Softly

Hello again! It’s Reading Wednesday. Let’s begin, shall we? There’s a little story behind my acquiring and reading this series. My mom found the tv series years and years ago, which we watched and really liked. (Though, personally, I enjoy the books much more. 😉 I hadn’t even realized that they were based off of books, until I found the…

Purple Stripes + Denim

Hello again! Here, as promised in the last Modest Monday post, I have a casual outfit to share with you! This is a simple Spring outfit I wore a few weeks ago. Most of the nieces and nephews were over that day, so it was perfect for running around the yard after them! 😉 Details of the outfit: I go…

Amigurumi Art

Hello again! Here I have for you a little compilation of finished projects that I thought might make for an interesting little Simply Saturday post. 😉 All of the animals pictured below were given as gifts to most of my nieces and nephews.

With a little alteration and time, it’s now a much better fit for me. 🙂 This is the length it used to be. It had been…

Alcott and Elliot

Hello! It’s a rainy, wet morning, perfect for the first installment of Reading Wednesday! I’ve always loved curling up on a rainy day to read a book, don’t you? Sometimes, however, it’s hard to find new books to read. As a result, I started reading the same ones over and over. I was helped by a friend who lent me…

Black, Gold, and Burgundy

Hello! Today is the first Modest Monday post, I hope you enjoy! This is the outfit I wore to church a few weeks ago. Please ignore the strange things the wind was doing to my hair 😉 This is a very simple outfit, but I’ll have to admit that it took trying on several different combinations to come up with…
