Leopard Print and Floral & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #713
I am sharing a simple outfit post today because I have been so stinking busy these past few weeks. I started a makeover on our mudroom/pantry as my summer project and it has been one heck of an undertaking. Once I had painted everything including the ceiling, I realized how terrible the carpet was and decided I wanted to paint the floor as well. So we tore out the disgusting old carpeting last weekend. What we discovered beneath was less than ideal but not unworkable with some patience, grit, prayer, and a vision. So I have spent the last few weeks testing my patience, grit, prayer, and vision as well…

The Great Ant War of ’24 & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #712
On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, I declared war. By Wednesday, July 3, 2024, I had annihilated my Lilliputian foes. Because my final war tactic was so successful, I feel somewhat of an obligation to share it with you. You might also be in the midst of a vicious battle with tiny black ants. If you are, I know how to win! The initial and unprovoked attack on my home began on the first hot and humid day of late spring. They come every year but generally the troops are small and remain contained around the perimeter of my pantry with a few stragglers making their way into the kitchen. Some…
