There was a year when I was 10 or 11 that we didn’t get real presents. The Christmas without real Presents. We did get gifts, my sister an I opened a gift together and my two brothers opened one a piece. But we didn’t think they classified as real gifts. We each go new bedspreads. We had moved to a new house and things were tight and the warmer bedspreads were needed. There was also a beautiful picture that would [...]
Lately I’ve been talking about the importance of supporting the little guy (or gal). It’s much easier to sit at home and shop from your computer than to try going out in the stores. I’m sure this is especially true if you have little ones. Share it on Twitter! ~Join @aproverbs31wife and I to support the little guy this year!~ So in my looking through Etsy and Storenvy I’ve found many fun items as well as several Christmas Gifts. But [...]
While it’s not a must or something expected by your guests, it’s nice to have gift bags to send home with your Christmas Party guests. This doesn’t have to be anything expensive at all. Although in my case, I had a couple friends come that I always exchange small gifts with each year, so theirs were a little different. You can make them all the same or customized for each friend/family. Hand them to your guests at the door when [...]
Because of everything else going on right now, this will be the last Shopping Saturday for awhile. I’m pretty busy, and time is running out to order Christmas gifts. So today I am just going to share a few of my favorite shops. That is, shops that I’ve found something awesome at! LOL, Since I know some of the friends and families I shop for read this blog, I’m going to be rather vague. But here are the shops I [...]
Are you guys ready for another Shopping Saturday? I am excited to share this shop with you! Before you read on, or completely skip this post, I want to mention something. When you purchase your Christmas gifts from Etsy, Storenvy and other online shops, you are supporting the little guy. Plain and simple. Do you want to support Walmart, or a mom and wife who is trying to bring in a little more income for the family this Christmas? Stand [...]
So, maybe you are like me, you packed a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child and now you wonder; “what happens to my shoe box?” After I shared my post last week where I packed my shoe box, I got a comment from a friend who told me that the little mirror would be removed (insert really sad face here). I started emailing back and forth with her, and found out she has helped with getting those thousands of shoe [...]
What’s in your shoe box? I remember helping pack a Christmas Shoe box for operation Christmas Child when I was a kid, as we got older we would each help pack a shoe box. November is the month, to get these Christmas shoe boxes packed up and dropped off, at one of the many drop off locations. If you have never packed a Christmas shoe box before, it’s really easy. We decided to pack two this year. One for a [...]
I love candles. I love how even just a few of them can make a room look homey, and if you light them, the room even smells homey! What frustrates me though, is how expensive some of the pretty candles are. I’m not talking about high quality soy candles. I’m talking about the candles that Wal-Mart and Meijer carry. Just cheep-o ingredients and they charge a fortune. So I decided it would be fun to decorate some candles. I had [...]
The beginning of this month, I signed up to take part in a creative exchange. I was partnered with Cat from Stuff I Love, and it was a lot of fun getting to know her better. We sent a couple emails back and forth asking questions. Then I started stalking her blog, probably read every post for the past year or so. Then it was her pinterest boards. I actually got somewhere, there! The thing is, I had learned a [...]
A dear friend of mine is adopting a newborn baby boy and words cannot express how excited I am for her and her husband! They have a little 31/2 yr old boy that they are in the process of adopting also. When I heard the church family was having a baby shower for them I immediately decided I wanted to make something for both boys. Big brother, little brother style. After spending some time on Pinterest, I found my inspiration. You [...]
Came across the sweetest idea on one of my bloggy friends site and wanted to share. If you want to create some of these for your mom, here is the link to find that printable. Started with some of the “best chocolate bars ever”! They have DHA for brain health and tons of antioxidants as well. Then I printed these wrappers that I found here. It’s kinda hard to see what they say on the ingrediants so here is the [...]
Summer time is coming and that also means wedding time is coming. Right now I know of at least 5 weddings in the month of June. Hubby and I are invited to two of them. More than just the weddings though, there are bridal showers to attend. I don’t know about you but I am not the type of person to go to the store buy a gift and have the store gift wrap it for me. That would be [...]

Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
named Jason, whom I lovingly call hubby when I’m writing. The only way I could ever explain our relationship is to use words like: crazy, silly, funny… well you get the point. He’s perfect for me! {Read More}
