Virtual Yard Sale


As you know I am cleaning out! We had our box demolition to celebrate our achievements BUT we still have a few items I am sure we could find a good home for! So, I typed a list of about 20 items and emailed it to some homeschooling moms, daycare providers, and moms of preschoolers-honestly, just about 10 people. Well, I am now gathering items in bundles for those folks to come pick them up! Some things I am giving away and some I am selling. It is a double blessing-something for them and less for me! So, do I have something you are looking for? Better check with me soon cause it is moving on out of my basement!! Need to make some room for the neighborhood boys to have Nerf Gun Wars!

Go Melanie!
Last year I mentioned to friends that I was planning to pare down my collection of handbags. Several said to call them first before taking them to consignment. Days later I loaded them up and sent out an email that the bags were in my car, parked at the office and unlocked. I asked $10. for each bag and that the money be placed in the console. At the end of the day I was so excited to see all but 3 were gone and a pile of $$$!! The back seat sale has caught on as several friends have had sales from their vehicles while at work.

Kinsmen Redeemer

Ruth and Boaz are my favorite biblical love story! Have you read it? It is 4 Chapters of love in the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. Her is my version in a nut shell-hopefully just enough to get you reading! Husband dies. She stays with Mother-in-Love. Return to MIL's homeland. Ruth goes to Boaz's fields. Picks up left over grain. Boaz ask workers to leave grain. Boaz is Ruth's kinsmen redeemer. Lays at his feet. He protect her honor. Learns another to be kinsmen redeemer. Talks to him. Happily ever after! Here is how this love story plays into my life! My mom had a less then a perfect home life. My grandmother eventually sent my mom to live with the Blake family (I love family names?) This family took my mom in as their own. They provided for her and shielded her from her painful childhood-or lack of. She moved in as a child and left a woman. Her cousin Ann (which is our Lydia's middle name) became her sister as well as a mother figure. Lucky for me, Ann married Mr.

Cheerio Toes

No matter how tough the day has been, there are so many stages in my life that I want to savor and not forget. I am constantly reminded how quick 18 years can pass and each step of the way, our children will need us less and less. This morning, I walked around my nicely swept kitchen and rounded the bar to where our son had prepared a bowl of Cheerios. When I sat down, my socks had Cheerios clinging to them. Usually, it is my midsection food hangs on to but now it is my socks. One day my house will be tidy and Cheerio free. I took the above picture this summer when the neighborhood boys came inside to play. I don't want to forget the young feet that have felt welcomed and safe in our home. Nor do I want to forget how Lydia's pink shoes fit into the pile. I don't want to forget the piles of bibs that come out of a load of Miss Blake's laundry. I usually have to wash just to keep her in bibs. I treasure the memory of crawling into bed one night and My Dear's feet bein
