"Life is not, for most of us, a pageant of splendor, but is made up of many small things, rather like an old fashioned piecework quilt. No two people have the same, but we all have our own, whether it be listening to Beethoven's fifth with a beloved friend, or seeing a neighbor at the back door with a basket of white dahlias. Or after a long, hard day, having the family say, "That was a good supper."
- GLADYS TABER
In no particular order, here are six small things that inspired me this week;
1. Chey Lowe
I've been following Chey and her story of adopting their daughter from India for about a year now. If you have a heart for adoption, you need to follow Chey's account.
Tabitha is the creative mind behind This Mama's Faith. I've enjoyed perusing her site, and was particularly blessed by this post. I'm going to add to my Homekeeper's Commonplace Book.
Inspired by Laura Prietto, has me on the hunt for a goose cookie cutter and dreaming of a little Silly Goose Get Together on National Goose Day, September 29.

A new to me book that I purchased for free using my Kindle points. I've added to my never-ending tbr list. Here's a snippet from the listing.
Are you constantly overwhelmed by your home and is joy the furthest thing from your mind? Do you suffer from not having guests over because of the state of your house? This book will show you proven processes to get you to change this situation with minimum effort!
Taking care of a home can be overwhelming, especially on top of all of your other responsibilities. I understand. I am a wife and mother who used to struggle with homemaking until I found hacks that got me to take action even when I didn’t feel like it!
In this book, you will:
Learn the one hack to reach productivity regardless of how you feel!
Learn a process to uncover your reasons for struggling with homemaking.
Set up routines that will put your house on auto-pilot!
Establish a menu-planning routine so that dinner can be easy every night!
Learn how to keep your house clean even if you have a full-time job.
Be equipped to be the organized, ready-for-action woman you want to be!
Find joy in homemaking!
Even though I feel like I have a pretty good handle on a lot of the aspects of homemaking, I'm always looking for fresh ideas!
Definitely putting this on my summer rotation!
My husband and I are working hard this summer on transforming our back yard into a nature sanctuary. With that our goal is for the plants to be 75-80% native. We recently went through and identified the plants we want to keep, removing most of the invasive varieties, and then deciding what we'd like to add. This website has helped us tremendously in learning about the plants that are native to our region. You simply type in your zip code and a list is generated for you. Easy peasy!
