“How fun!” I find myself exclaiming this many times throughout the week. Here are just a few things that touched me or made me smile:
Last week, I found a new-to-me blog called Nancherrow. I linked up to the link-up party called Fridays Unfolded. Well, Beauty Observed is one of the blogs being featuring today. How fun is that?! Thank you, Alison!

Do you have your Valentine’s Day shopping done yet? My 13 year-old daughter is getting the Grace Unplugged DVD. It had a limited release in movie theaters last summer. We were blessed to be visiting my husband’s parents when it was released in their city. If we had been in Ohio, we wouldn’t have been able to see it as the nearest place the movie was showing around us was about two hours away. J. fell in love with the movie, read the book, and downloaded the album which she has on auto-repeat with the Frozen soundtrack.

I’m an avid gardener. Wouldn’t this be fun to have? It’s an underground greenhouse called a walipini.

Have a great weekend! Remember Philippians 4:8. “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

I so enjoyed seeing your menu for next week. I can so get in a rut with meals. So yes, your menu was a thing of beauty to me 🙂 Even better, that you shared a few recipes! Thank you for hosting the linkup each week! Blessings!
