Envision a typical nester.

  • A newlywed filling a new wedding-gift vase with flowers from her first garden.
  • A pregnant lady folding and refolding tiny, freshly washed baby tee-shirts and stacks of cloth diapers.
  • A business woman saving her precious funds for the future.
  • Veteran housewives refining their home decor to create a sanctuary for their family.

What result does nesting show? Does a house magically turn into a home? Does a life automatically become a legacy? Something lies beyond the housewares and diapers. Curtains and bean counting can only go so far.

So here I am setting up my nest, searching for what will make my house a home and my life a legacy.

Love,

Jess

Hey Y’all!

I took a trip to Dallas/Ft.Worth TX last week to visit and reconnect with friends that relocated down south. Hot, yes! Worth it, of course.

Upon returning home, my gracious parents, Grammy Lu and Papa Den, cleaned my whole house! Even the oven.

They brought in flowers, caught a mouse and even organized my spices! Nice.

I am working on my own nesting and I’ll have some projects to write about soon. But, for now I am easing back into the daily routine that was so wonderfully tossed aside during my trip.

Peace,

Jess
