Getting Ready For Fall

Welcome, ladies!

It is that time again and fall is almost here! It is time to prepare our homes and welcome in the new season. There is much work to be done such as:

1. Cleaning. Prepare your home to be cozy, inviting, and clean. Throw on a candle, some easy fall potpourri, or  even get a fall scent going on your diffuser to make your home smell amazing while you clean.  I know that some of you like to do a deep clean of your home and furniture before you decorate for fall. This is a great time to get rid of unwanted clutter and make way for the new season.

A Wise Woman Seeks to Put Her Life in Order

"Hi June--my life, home, and family has been in chaos lately. I know that I need to stop wasting time and get focused on it all but I just don't have the self discipline to do it. I feel like I am always yelling at my kids and have lost my love for homemaking. What should I do?"

Titus 2 Time: Have You Curbed Your Tongue?

 "The wise of heart is called discerning and 

sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness."

The Lord has been putting this on my heart lately. 

I know that there is no one perfect out there when it come to their tongue. 

We can use it for building up or for tearing down.

Words have the power of life and death. 

In Honor and Memory of September 11: Books & Resources for Kids

Do you remember where you were on September 11?

I know I do. A friend called me at home in the morning and told me to turn the TV on. I gathered up my littles and went down in the family room and flipped it on and could not believe my eyes. I quickly called my husband who was at work.  We saw the second plane hit much to our horror.  We were in utter disbelief to see what happened next with the towers full of helpless people collapsing down unto the city below.

We just had our second oldest son leave for college last week and is desiring to major in criminal justice. He is also excited about playing football there as well! We miss him but it is definitely a "happy" sad. 

Tearing Down Our Homes

When I titled this blog-"A wise woman builds her home, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands." -Proverbs 14:1---I knew I had a great responsibility to share what the Lord has shown me through the years as a mother and wife. I want to stay true to the second part of this verse and share some very important advice with all you ladies and daughters out there.

One of the greatest factors I have seen in a woman tearing down here home and from my own personal experience as well, is simply not taking every thought captive. We allow sinful thinking to get the better of us and take over, and once the sinful thoughts are planted and sown it becomes fully manifested into a destructive monster that will quickly demolish our families and ourselves if we are not careful.

My Humble Home: Painting & Bathroom Makeover Project

Every few months or so I try to share what we have been doing here on the home front. 

Earlier this year we updated our upstairs bathroom--it was so fun and I *love* it!

I wanted to share a bit of what we did--hopefully it will inspire you to improve something in your home. Even if it is a small thing--it makes all the difference. 

I have been going slowly around the house trying to update each room bit by bit, and am so glad we were able to do this one!

We painted it mostly white with some black accents like the cabinets, vanity mirror, and shelf.

I bought two different shower curtains. Mainly because the one I really wanted was going too take long (and I needed one right away) to get here so I settled for just getting two. 

 This one for summer:
