Proverbs 31: 17b Her arms are strong for her tasks.  As most of you know, I am over 2/3s the way through a 90 day exercise program. I wrote about why in a previous post. My blog, furniture projects and TV watching have all taken a bit of a backseat to my fitness routine. [...]

Proverbs 31:27 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Gaining control over the “affairs of my household” seems a bit daunting. Exciting, but daunting. Have I said this before? Goals, organization, schedules, files, wills, finances, photos, cleaning, hospitality, the whole nine yards. Inspired by Just [...]

Proverbs 31:18 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. I traded my pie plate pedestal… …for a friend’s pink pennant banner! I’d say it was a win-win situation. Wouldn’t you? I will be focusing more on “the affairs” of my household, now that the Junk [...]

Proverbs 31: 17b Her arms are strong for her tasks.  Peter and I are both feeling that our arms are not strong enough for our tasks. Also, my muffin tops have now turned into a muffin loaf. I gave myself 6 months post twin delivery to “not care” about exercise and watching calories. My [...]

The Rest of our Outings I used my $2.50 store credit. How could I let the credit expire? It’s like throwing money away, right?
