Living Proof Live

Let me start with an apology (that would be how Beth Moore would begin). My pictures are really great pictures. I borrowed my son's Kodak Easyshare camera, and it's just not as easy to use for me as my Nikon DSLR. It was nice and small to carry, though. Also, I apologize for my absenteeism lately, I've been pretty busy being Mom.

With that out of the way, I wanted to just share a glimpse of the fabulous Ladies Conference that I was able to attend in Boise, ID this past weekend! Beth packed so much into this last Friday night and Saturday morning, that I feel like I haven't had a chance to really process it all yet.

The music was fabulous! I miss the contemporary Christian music each week at church. We just haven't found that church that has what we are looking for, yet. But for now, we love all the people at the church we are attending, and for now, I appreciate the great group of women that have included me in their circle.

What can one really say about Beth Moore? She is just bigger than life, and had just a great message for women to carry. If you ever get a chance to see her in person, I highly suggest it. If not, I suggest signing up for one of many bible studies at a local church. If none around are running studies, you can even take the studies on the internet through Beth's Website here. Taking care of your spiritual well-being is so important.

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...

Drop Cloth Couch Re-do

It's my 100th Post! What a great big reveal I have in store for you today! Three years ago, I found Miss Mustard Seeds' 6 part How to Make Slipcovers Series and started with watching the first video. I ran out to Home Depot and purchased two drop clothes, washed and bleached them to get ready for making the slipcovers for my two couches, and there they sat folded nicely in my craft room! A year ago, we moved across the country, so I packed those drop clothes up in a box, clearly marked them and put them on the truck. When we arrived, I put them in front of all my other boxes to do first. We even moved again over Christmas, and I moved that box again! Then, I did a pillow re-do, HERE that pushed me over the edge. I just had to tackle those slip covers! Before of the couch and the pillows that began the entire thing! I had a Saturday, where the guys were doing guy things and it was me and the girls hom...

Top 5 Gifts for the Piano Student

As a piano teacher, I thought I'd put out there some of my top recommendations for great, yet practical and fun gifts for the piano student this holiday season! 1. Piano Maybe you weren't totally sold on your child playing piano, or maybe you got an instrument to get you thru the interim, until you find or can afford that better instrument, but what student wouldn't be ecstatic about receiving a better one for Christmas (or consider buying it for your family)? Here's a great article that will get you started in making the right decision: The Ins and Outs of Buying a Piano. If you're wanting to order a digital piano, here are two recommendations: Be sure that you have a stand, pedal, and bench for use with the digital piano. 2. Metronome I love this one But this one is great too! 3. New Music Ok, so this one takes a little research. Ask your piano ...
