It's been about a month since I've wrote a Currently post, so I think it's time. Especially since you haven't heard from me in over a week. Remember how I said my husband and I were going "unplugged" and wouldn't be using our phones or internet for a week? Well, that was because we were going on a vacation! We weren't using the internet because we were out in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship! I'll write a separate post recapping our trip soon! And just so you don't miss it, I have a giveaway coming Friday! So be sure to stop by and enter! (This post includes affiliate links. Continue Reading
How Hospitality Can be as Easy as Learning One Word
One of my hobbies used to be swing dancing. I joined a swing dance club in college and learned a lot of fun moves. After the lesson each week during club, we would all practice the moves by dancing together. I went every week and saw the same people. I got asked to dance by the same guys a lot. There was one guy in particular who I had danced with a few times before, but every week he wouldn't know my name. After swing dance club one night, I was telling my friend how much it bothered me that this kid couldn't remember my name after weeks of dancing with him. I specifically remember saying, Continue Reading
I Know These People
One of my favorite parts of Allume was meeting new people and hearing about their blogs. It felt good to connect with others who get blogging and love Jesus. You know how when you meet a new friend and you really like her, you want to introduce her to the friends you already have? Or when you read a great book and you say, "Mom, you have to read this book; it's so good!" and you let her borrow it? Or when you hear a hilarious speaker at a blogging conference and wish all your friends could be there too so you could laugh together? That's what I'm feeling. I met some really awesome people at Continue Reading
Hospitality: From the Heart, Not the Home
In a previous post, I told you guys how much I desire to be hospitable and how I am striving to love others through hospitality. And in another post, I told you about one of the ways I tried to be hospitable and it didn't go at all how I had planned or imagined. Well, after that ice cream social, I was discouraged and the strive for hospitality kind of stopped. Then, like I told you before I went to Allume. And guess what the theme for the weekend was -- Hospitality. And then, I started a study plan from She Reads Truth and guess what their topic was -- Hospitality. I felt like God was Continue Reading

House to Home: Guest Bedroom
It has been SO LONG since I wrote a House to Home post. Too long. But we finally have another room completed! Our guest bedroom! Here is our game shelf. I love playing board games and wish we got to play them more often. Here's our book/storage shelf in the middle of the room. At the bottom of this post, I give you a sneak peek into what's in those storage bins. Yes, we have a Spongebob stuffed animal. It was a random silly gift from my dad. (family joke) Above that shelf, I have some wall art. I just used frames and scrapbook paper to make this Continue Reading
Currently {Vol. 7}
Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: ALLUME. As you are reading this, I'm on my way to a Christian blogger conference called Allume in South Carolina. I am so excited to learn and grow as a blogger, as well as meet other bloggers and make friends. Since I'm writing this a couple days before I leave, I'm thinking about what to bring, what to wear, what to pack, how to get there, where I'll park, who I'll meet, what I'll learn, ... a ton of stuff. There are a few nerves, but for the most part I'm so excited that I get this opportunity and I can't wait to see what God has in Continue Reading
DIY Crate Nightstand
(This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my blog.) I've been waiting and waiting for us to finish our guest bedroom. Everything was done, except there was no nightstand.

Here's what I used: Two wooden crates (I got mine from Michael's, but you can also get some on Amazon) Wood stain A paintbrush Gorilla Glue First, I stained both crates with a dark Continue Reading

Honey Garlic Rolls
Prepare to drool. It has been years since I had these amazing yeast rolls made by my friend Sarah. Recently, I couldn't stop thinking of them so I dug around until I found the recipe she gave me, seriously, probably two years ago. Maybe three. I decided it was time to try to make them for myself. I was for sure they weren't going to turn out anything like Miss Sarah's. But to my delighted surprise, they turned out just as delicious as her's! These Honey Garlic Rolls are mouth watering, and I dare you not to eat three or more in one sitting. Actually, go ahead and eat as many as you want Continue Reading
