Women Bring Love Into a Home

The sweet loving touches that a woman brings into her house make

it a home.

It's the way she shows her family how much they mean to her.

Freshly baked cookies, pretty flowers and sweet cheerful touches.  That's what

women do for their families.  Valentine's Day is not just for lovers, it's 

the day when we can show appreciation for all of those we love.

Of course, cute little dogs bring love into a home too!

I dedicate this post to my Mom who always made our house a home.

Spread some Valentine's Day cheer by visiting ~

Key To My Heart

Years ago, before I married David, I was living in a townhouse in Houston, Texas.

I was at work one afternoon when I received a phone call that my townhouse had 

been hit by lightning and burned to the ground.  I was left with the clothes on my

back and a few items that the firemen were able to salvage.

I was devastated and had panic attacks for weeks after the fire.  Fortunately my

insurance company sent me a sizable check, so I was able to put back together

the pieces of my life. 

One of the things I purchased was this teddy bear.  I spent many nights clinging to him

because I would have nightmares about the fire.  So this little guy got me through

a rough patch in my life and he has the key to my heart.

He also gave me comfort when my car was stolen about three weeks after that fire.

It was a very rough time for me.  

Now I am married and have my own teddy bear of a husband who holds

the key to my heart.  But I still keep this sweet little bear who helped me

through a tough time and has remained with me during these happier days.

Bentley ~ you have the key to my heart too!

Trying To Relax With Craft Projects

My life is always chaotic and lately even more so.  I seem to have so many

irons in the fire at any one time that I need to find a way to slow down.  So 

besides yoga, I have decided relax with crating projects.

I can see the tension and distraction in my hearts.  Uneven blanket stitches, 

forgetting to trim seams for crisp edges.  

My husband always says that when one tries to do too many things, none of

them are done well.  Apparently that applies to me.

So I am going to have to learn to slow down and do one thing at a time.

Won't be easy for me ~ but I'll give it a try.
