Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet…
Hi, I'm B
I'm a follower of Christ, retired photographer, grandmother, tea drinker, lifelong learner, and believer that God's grace meets us in ordinary moments. Here you'll find encouraging stories, photography, books, creative projects, and reminders that beauty still exists in everyday life.
I'm so glad you're here.
I just finished reading The Museum of Second Chances and here are my thoughts…
Taking a little staycation…
Another new month means another selection of books to choose from at a discount OR free if you have an Amazon Prime subscription! Let’s see what there is for the month of July…
“The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
And his glory is to overlook a transgression.”
— Proverbs 19:11 NKJV
I love lemon.
Lemon desserts, lemon-colored paint, lemon décor, and lemony scents throughout my home. The only things that come close to my love of lemons are coconut and vanilla. Lemons are bright, summery and tart. I'm here for you lemons!
They’ve been officially married for a month, had a wonderful honeymoon and are now preparing to close on their first house together. I decided to finally post a slideshow of some of my favorite moments. I had to stop at 30 or so. Honestly, I loved them all.
They’re off to a great start and I love these two so very much.
What an incredible Sunday! I'm officially a member of my church.
Words fail me when I try to describe how it felt. Remember when I wrote the post, What An Incredible Weekend? This past Sunday was a bit like that, but with an even deeper sense of peace and joy.
Today's Quest Log update is a little less about game mechanics and a little more about finding time for gaming in a busy season of life.
Life has been busy, busy, busy so far this June! I always chuckle when I fill out my planner at the beginning of the month and see a few blank days with nothing penciled in.
Through Her Lens

Moments
A sampling of moments captured. These days, it’s filled with family since I’m a happily retired photographer.
-
Nature
Flowers, trees, clouds, all the birds that visit my yard. Whatever captures my eye through the lens.

This n' That
The eclectic gallery of images I love.
The Craft Cupboard

In Stitches
My mom and grandmom taught me to crochet. They tried to teach me to knit but soon figured out that I’d probably stab myself before I produced a knitted project. Years later, thanks to YouTube, I taught myself to knit.
-
Paper Wreaths
I love making paper flower wreaths with my vinyl cutter. This is a small sampling of what I’ve created. There’s more to come!

Bricks & Rocks
Remember the painted rock trend? I was late to the party but have been painting rocks, bricks and pavers for 10 years now.
