A New Blog Layout for the New Year

 

My son has found a new way to use these red striped popcorn "bags". He's been walking around the house with these on his hands, and I'm surprised he's wearing the baseball cap too!

My husband and I celebrated the new year at a 1920's themed party. We had fun thrift store shopping for  our outfits. My husband wanted to dress up like an old guy, and he stayed in character the whole night! He was making everyone laugh so hard!

So, with the new year I figured my blog needed some attention. A new look. I bet it's been feeling...well...a little neglected. I've tried to post often, and I have so many ideas for posts... but, I just don't post enough.

So, since everyone always has resolutions for the new year here is one for my blog: I promise to post something new every week.  Maybe I'll even post two times, or three times! But let's not get carried away... Life gets busy right?

I promise to have at least one new post by Monday morning every single week.

I love blogging, I really do, and my stash of pictures and ideas for blog posts is overflowing.

 

Happy New Year!

A snowy Sunday morning

We woke up this morning to snow falling to the ground. My husband worked late last night so he's sleeping. He's the one that loves driving in this stuff so we're staying home from church this morning. It's a wonderful day to relax. Sundays are our day of rest. That means doing very little housework and just enjoying our time. Right now I'm sipping hot tea, working on a crocheted blanket and watching my son play with his toys. It's so nice to slow down.

How do I look?

How do I look?  It's a question us women ask a lot. We want to know if we look beautiful.  I made this sign to go in the closet or next to the make-up table.  Just a sweet reminder that we're beautiful and wonderfully created by God. If you see yourself as precious in God's sight then that beauty will be even more radiant in your outward beauty.  Don't forget- you look beautiful!

Tape labels

I love using my turquoise tape to label my home items!

Baby Security Blankets

These are my best sellers. They are a little baby security blankets. They measure 14.5" square. They are knit fabric on the front, soft dimple fabric on the back and have satin binding around the edge. You can find out more information on them at my Etsy shop: www.simplyerin.etsy.com

Couponing

So happy to be back into couponing.  I took a break for a while. I've also made new tabs for my coupon book. New inspiration to save money!

It's the Simple Things

We were out at my parents' house celebrating my dad's birthday just a few days ago. While we were on the back patio my son kept himself thoroughly entertained with a water hose and some solar path lights. I love this little guy. It's fun seeing him discover new things and have fun being a boy!

Exploring is fun!
