I have often said that the best gift The Hubs has ever given me is my Nikon D3100 and that includes the children. I honestly never knew how much I enjoyed being behind the camera until he said “Here, have fun.” I’d been taking pictures with my cell phone and then with a GE Power…
Do It As Unto the Lord
Something to remember when I grow frustrated with work or bored with the normal routine of life… I’m not doing this for me or for praise from those around me, I’m doing it to honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Him, Follow Living Outside the Stacks on Bloglovin’!
My Week on Instagram {6/52}
This past week was all about selling the house. We spent time cleaning and staging the house. I spent time hanging out in a hotel room and in the park and at the mall just to keep the dog away from house hunters. But, hey, you do what you gotta do, right? I’m praying we…
Week 6: Eyes {#OurProject52}
I got my first pair of glasses when I was about 7 or 8 years old… I remember walking out of the doctor’s office, standing on the sidewalk, looking up at the trees, and being gobsmacked. Trees had individual leaves. I mean, I’d seen leaves, or, at least, the fuzzy outline of single leaves on…
#TeamLOTSReads: Book Reveal 2
Finally. You guys, I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to get the next book selection posted. The past few weeks have been a whole bunch of hectic with a side of rush. The house has been teeming with contractors, realtors, potential buyers, etc. As excited as I am for our move, I’m even…
Week 5: Motion {#OurProject52}

Book Review: War Brides by Helen Bryan
BOOK DESCRIPTION {FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK} With war threatening to spread from Europe to England, the sleepy village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. Nightly air raids become grimly mundane. The tightening vice of rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to…
My Week on Instagram {5/52}
You guys, this has been quite the weekend! Our house is officially on the market, the magazine article about me came out, and I got a Fitbit. OK, the last one may not seem like a big deal to you but it is to me. My weight has gotten out of control. I know I’ve…
Week 4: Blue {#OurProject52}
It may be safe to say, that so far this has been the hardest prompt for me. I mean, other than the sky, there really isn’t a lot of blue in my life. I thought about using blue to describe my winter mood, but then I realized that I’m more like Blanche Devereaux {The Golden…
