Bringing the True, Pure & Lovely into your Life.
I’m from the south, born and raised, along with many generations before me. And I can tell you, there are few things we love in the south more than sweet tea, football, and God. We southerns are known for our slower talking and our hospitality. And yes, while most of us do know our manners, [...]
Hey Everyone! Candace here. Your entertaining author. It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I have a very special guest for you. Chrissy from The Pear Blog is here with a fantastic tutorial to help breathe a little Valentine’s Day life into your home, dinner or party. Personally, I would LOVE to see this garland as a [...]
Hi! I’m Jessica! I’m so pleased to be here, talking with you today. Here we are, right? We’ve almost completed the first month of 2013! Which means that for many of us, we’ve made, broken, and mourned our New Year’s resolutions by now. Do you know what I say about that? Forget about it!! {Yes, [...]
Shortly after my wedding day, I was in for one of the biggest shocks of my life. I’m not perfect. What a horrible realization for an only child and young bride. Marriage quickly brought my blemishes to the surface. My sweet man had always made me feel like I was God’s great gift to him. [...]
YOU KNOW YOU TRAVEL TOO MUCH WHEN… You look forward to airline dinners. A 5-hour flight is considered short. When you fly without your kids, it’s a vacation. Even on a red-eye. Your leg workout is squatting in airplane and airport bathrooms. You can take your kid to the bathroom, pee, wash up and change [...]
I don’t know about you, but I have a thing for tea towels. The ones in boutique gift shops are particularly irresistible, but their prices are always prohibitive. I’ve seen individual tea towels for $12.95 in some shops. Sorry folks, but I just can’t spend that much on a kitchen towel. The good news is, you [...]
I seem to be of few words and many emotions these days. Instead of getting lost in words I just lay my heart out and seek. And in the midst of all of this, I keep thinking of one thing: Today I feel at home. Today my home is here. “Home is where your [...]
Here’s my 5 favorite ways to update your winter 2013 look: 1. Patterned Pants & Leggings - ALL the rage right now. I recently got two pairs from Target, {animal print & black/white stripes} both on clearance in the $7-$8 range. And these little babies aren’t just for the super thin. I’m a 10 & [...]
I’m so excited today to have my fellow marriage enthusiast and new friend, Shelia Wray Gregoire from To Love, Honor and Vacuum, sharing here on FancyLittleThings. I had come across her blog several times while researching & reading for biblical views on sexual intimacy in marriage when I heard she would be coming to my MOPS group [...]
I am a busy person, and I love it. I thrive on staying busy. Between being a wife, a mom, having a part time job, owning an event planning business, weekly dance and gymnastics classes, church on Sundays, laundry, cleaning house, cooking, etc, etc, things don’t slow down. Some people would hate it, but [...]
Blogging is sharing yourself, your writing, and your passion for life. You get the chance to be 100% uniquely you, while connecting with like-minded people. Blogging takes your sphere of influence, the one that consists of family, friends, and your local community, and grows it to include people from all around the world. You get [...]
There’s something about this time of year that makes me kinda, sorta, super lethargic. I think it may have something to do with that, for me, when Christmas is over I would love for it to be Spring. I get hit with the January blues and the February blahs. Every year, like clockwork; and this [...]
