Using domestic arts to live a simple, frugal life


Tomorrow is Independence Day so we’re headed out to go camping with my parents and some of my siblings. I’m hoping we get a little bit of a break from the rain but even if we don’t we’ll still have a great time. My dad was in the Marine Corps. so patriotism is something I was raised with. When we go to the parade tomorrow morning I’ll place my hand over my heart when I hear the national anthem, and show Chloe that she should too.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I’ll be back next week! If you get a chance check out some of my favorite reads from the past couple weeks. There are quite a few of them because I had a hard time choosing:

Things To Bake

Things That Touched My Heart

The first two links are bloggers facing criticism and tough choices. I so appreciate their real-ness and honesty, that’s why I read them. The third is on a different note, a celebratory one, but worth mentioning because I love celebrating marriage!

Why I do what I do ~ Chloe had several “accidents” today. I was frustrated and said, “Daddy’s going to be disappointed when he gets home and we tell him.” She said, “That’s ok. We won’t tell him.”
