You know how much I love looking at houses...both plans to build and existing houses to buy. Some people play Facebook games. I house hunt. But this post about mail order homes in the early 1900s is fascinating!!!!

Melanie wrote this post about her blog...and how she felt spiritual attack as she tried to write a series on digging deeper into the Bible. I firmly believe in spiritual warfare and believe Satan does come after those who are trying to serve the Lord. I love how she's not letting him win!!

As a girl who regularly struggles with fear, I found this post by the lovely and wise Susie Larson very timely and encouraging.

I've mentioned this general story on the Saturday Six before, but I love this new article by Holley Gerth about how her new 20 year old daughter adopted HER...and I love it mostly because it speaks volumes of truth about how these pretty little formulas we think need to be followed are all of our own making. God sometimes writes the most unorthodox stories - and they are SO GORGEOUS in their own way.

Well, I live in Indiana, so really putting much thought into a winter outdoor living space is pointless, since it would all get buried beneath all the Polar Vortexing...but if I did live somewhere with less snow, I would want my Christmas porch to look like this one by Emily A. Clark. Stunning.

This week, I had a chance to interview Melissa Deeg, the creator of Droolery. When Ryan and I were shopping down near Holiday World earlier this year, I found Droolery in a store and thought it was the coolest thing. It's jewelry for moms of babies. The beads are safe for babies to chew on...so if you have kids, you don't have to skip wearing jewelry until they're in Kindergarten. You should check it out!!
