One.
You are well aware that I love a good home tour. I mean, remember Monday? I took you through a little cabin I found that is so adorable! Well I happened upon
this post this week that isn't a home tour, but it is a gorgeous
neighborhood tour. We have a neighborhood here in town that is filled with old, character-laden homes, and sometimes I like to drive through it just to appreciate their beauty. (And I get really excited anytime one goes up for sale because then I know I can see inside pictures online!) Anyway. The blogger toured a gorgeous neighborhood one afternoon and shares pictures of her favorite houses. So pretty.
Two.
Some wise words written by Jackie at Rad-Joy, exploring what it means to follow God's calling on our lives. If you're in a place of searching right now, you might find some encouragement as you read over this!
Three.
I declared yesterday to be "cute food Friday," and I made
individual 7 layer salads from Dashing Dish. We use canning jars for our drinking glasses, so I just made the salads in those. It's a free recipe, and Ryan and I both liked it, so check it out if you need a new idea!
Four.
Some of you know that I occasionally link to Lindsay Sherbondy's hand-lettered art. Ryan and I have several of her art pieces in our home, and when she had a storefront for a time in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, we actually stopped in to meet her in person (while we were en route to one of my speaking engagements). If you follow Lindsay on social media, you already know this, but if you don't, her 7 year old daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury this week in a strange and seemingly random fall out of a golf cart.
Here is a link to her Caring Bridge page if you'd like to see updates or know how to pray with and for them. I can't even imagine!
Five.
Here is a list of over 50 freezer meals you can make for yourself/your family/your friends! If the return of the school year has made your meal prep time a bit short, or if you want to bless some busy or recovering-from-illness friends, take a look and see if you can find an idea or two!
Six.
In closing today, I will share with you another recent Etsy find of mine. For the last few years, I've been using Lemongrass Spa for all my skin care, and while I love the products, I simply can't keep up with the minimum monthly order requirements anymore. So I've been on the hunt for all-natural products that I can order at my own leisure. In my hunt, I looked for a new body wash, and
this one seems to be working well! I like that it has a little bit of bubble and a decent amount of aroma WITHOUT turning me into suds-ville or making me smell like a giant cookie. And a fun bonus? They personalize the labels for you, so my bottle says it was made just for me! (I suppose this keeps Ryan from digging into the berries and cream body wash!) I also liked having the option to choose whether I wanted a pump top or a flat cap top. And if you're not a fan of berries and cream, there are a variety of other scents available. The shop owner is from Illinois, and shipping is free (at least in the US, I believe.)

I saw that little girls story on IG, praying she makes a turn for the better!
I have used mason jars as drinking glasses for years. We used to stop at a restaurant in Iowa when I was a kid and we would travel from Indiana to Nebraska, and they served water in mason jars.
I scrolled through the Caring Bridge site, and will have to read more later. I heard an awesome story this week from a coworker. I work at Parkview Health in Fort Wayne, And I am in the Parkview Singers, a choir that we have at work that my boss is actually the director of. One of our choir members cleans hospital rooms. She was talking to a family member of a patient, and a woman came up to her and said that she recognized her voice. This woman had been in a coma and was in one of the hospital rooms that my friend cleaned. My friend is known as the “humming housekeeper” and she also talks to the patients as she is cleaning. This woman remembered my friends voice from hearing her talk while she was in a coma! In fact, she said, “You’re Moana!” because she often hums songs from that movie when she’s cleaning! Isn’t that amazing?!
My dad was in a coma and died of a brain bleed, so it was comforting to know he could hear us!
Tamar - me too! I can't imagine such a huge injury!
Tracy - That story gave me goose bumps! I have heard that those who are in comas can hear, but to be able to identify the staff member by her voice - WOW!!!
