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.

Steppin’ Out Saturday 1/29

Joining up with Steppin’ Out Saturday this week. The going out for Mexican with friends version. 🙂  I had Jason snap these right as we were walking out the door.  I wasn’t totally expecting it which explains my funny look.

Seven jeans, Stein Mart.
ugly red chair, hand-me-down on its way to GoodWill.

**Also wanted to let y’all know that I have a couple of giveways in the works.  My plan is to do one when I reach 75 followers & another round at 100 followers.  So if you read &/or love giveways, follow & keep coming back!***

Project 365 Week 4

My week was both busy & chill. My favorite kind!  It was also the first time I missed a day of my #project365!

Day 22 Last Saturday was Beth’s baby shower which was so much fun!

Day 23: Sunday went to church with my friends Kelly, Brett, Beth & Kevin then relaxed that afternoon with a good book & a sleepy Moekitty.

Day 24: Monday was a busy day at work but ended awesomely with a girls night at Lynnwood.

Day 25: Tuesday I ended up leaving work midday to take Jason to the doctor for his eye. I luckily grabbed my book as we were walking out the door because we had a bit of a wait.  I read again Tuesday evening. {photo was actually taken Sunday though! My first p365 cheat!}

Day 26: Wednesday a day filled with fun: breakfast with a new agent, lunch with a coworker out on maternity leave, then Chi O alum Bunco which made the sadness of it being Ma’s birthday not as hard.

Day 27: Thursday Jason & I chilled at home. I’d packed a small lunch & was starving! by the time I left work.  But a spicy chickfila sandwich was the perfect dinner & hit the spot {along with waffle fries & ketchup & half diet lemonade-sweet tea}.

 

Day 28: I worked a little late Friday to make up for time I was out Tuesday.  I got home & was on the floor with Moe while he was playing with his toys.  I took a few photos of him thinking they’d be the project 365, but then I rolled over & saw the snowman & shot it, cat fur on the floor & all {just keepin’ it real}.

 
How was your week?
