Bringing the True, Pure & Lovely into your Life.
If you come to my house, I'll show you my candle and schnauzer memorabilia collections. I love iced tea, Apple products and a clean kitchen. Four years ago, I fell in love with a pianist and two years ago I married that pianist-turned sailor. Join me as I blog my way through faith, marriage, and the experience of moving to a new duty station in Hawaii at http://www.dearolympia..com/. “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.“ - C.S. Lewis

I’m excited to try my hand at a new topic on FancyLittleThings.com, that of running a small business. Running a small business runs in my blood.

With the upcoming birth of our first child, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how the baby will affect my marriage. This line of thinking got me wondering, what are some ways that we can branch out of our comfort zones and bless our spouses today? I came up with these three [...]
