“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:

I was thrilled to have my first guest poster this week!  Brittany from 17 Hour Days hit it out of the park!  Thank you so much, Brittany!

These Ribbons by Rachel would make very nice Easter basket gifts.

I set some pretty heady goals for March, so my “What I learned in March” and “Goals for April” posts will have to wait a bit. If you haven’t already, you can see how I’m doing with my Instagram goal by following me here.

Ed made this printable “Blessings for the Week“ for us. His idea is that we can print them out and cut them into strips. There are five total for Monday through Friday. He thought we could slip one into our child’s lunch bag each day. Or, you may want to sneak one into your husband’s briefcase every morning! Ed thought this would be a good way to give our families a “week of blessings.” You could also hide them around the house. It’s interesting that you’ll often run across reminders like these just when you need them most. Coincidence? I think not. 🙂

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.”
