Willow House Purchases

Have y’all heard of Willow House?  I hadn’t until recently.  It’s like Mary Kay or Pampered Chef etc but for your house.  A friend hosted a party two weeks ago & I’m so glad I went.
I got a few ideas of things to do different for my tabletops & mantel as well as purchased two organizational things: the Mail & Key Caddy & Decorative Card & Photo Display.  Currently our mail sits takes over one side of our narrow kitchen’s counter-top.  Coming up invitations and photo cards have a way of taking over our frig then going on top of our pub table.  I hope these two products solve both these issues!  The same hostess friend dropped off the products to me & I immediately put the card thing over the pantry door.  The mail holder will be hung as soon as I can find a small nail.

Anyone else bought any thing from Willow House?  I thought the vases & candle holders were pretty & if you needed new dishes or servingware that theirs was really cool. Oh & I loved their online outlet with weekly deals. Y’all know I can’t resist a deal!

Small Group

Nine women from different backgrounds with different job & careers & ages.  Ones at different places when it comes to love, marriage, & family.  Meeting at each others homes & our shared church.  That’s what we have in common.  A yearn to learn more & grow in our walk with our faith.  Some of us have been gathering for a couple years while others joined the group Monday for the first time.  I love my small group.  I look forward to Monday nights.  They help me focus & I genuinely feeling I’m a kinder, better person while I’m actively studying the Word.

Andy Stanley and his 6 week study on Taking Care of Business: Finding God at Work will help us grow & learn to incorporate God in our work lives. After one night, it has already created great discussion of our work & ways to learn more about each other and through that our faith & our God.

The second 4 week study will be Staying in Love: Falling in Love is Easy, Staying in Love Requires a Plan.  This one I’m really looking forward to.  While TTC means we are literally connecting {TMI!!} frequently, I’m hoping this study shreds some light on God’s plan to keep love in the focus of our marriage.

I’ve done a few Beth Moore studies & loved them all.  This is my first video study by anyone else.  Anyone done a Andy Stanley study or read one of his books?  This is the first for me & I’m very impressed so far.  I’d love to hear your favorites of his.
