Works for Me Wednesday: Pre-printed Labels

Posted in Homemaking

I promise that all of the moving tips will soon be a thing of the past (well, until the next move. lol!) One thing that has made things much easier this time is sorting like items together. Now, this means a little more effort up front, but in the long run it makes the moving process much easier.

Thoughts for Today

Posted in Thoughts

The good news is that the number of packed boxes is growing as the number of empty boxes is shrinking.

We’ll finish packing up on Saturday and head down to the new house as soon as we’re done. We’ll be unloading on Saturday, returning the truck on Sunday, and heading back up here after that. Talk about a whirlwind trip!!! If we have time, we’ll do some unpacking while we’re down there. If not, we’ll be unpacking at a later time. But, for now, it’s all…

Marriage Monday: Nag, Nag, Nag

Posted in Christian Life

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife.A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand. Proverbs 21:19 and 27:15-16 “Ouch! I wonder if Solomon had experience with a “quarrelsome wife”? Have you ever been one? Are you prone to nagging and criticism? How have you seen this kind of behavior affect your husband, or others’ husbands if you are not a nagger?” These are the questions posed for today’s Marriage Monday over at Christine’s blog Fruit in Season.…
