In case you were wondering what happened to last week’s Friday poem, I got extremely busy and so this is coming to you a bit late (sorry about that!).  The word of the week was MESS.  This is another one that may just go in the children’s poetry book I am writing, but it’s meant for adults too ;).  If you have ever seemed to lack time or energy to clean and have found yourself overwhelmed by the mess that ensued as a result, you may get a kick out of this one! GO   The Mess:   It started with a single sock Flung on the floor without a care, A towel here, a towel there- and THEN a pair of underwear!   “The room looks fairly clean, I’d … Continue Reading →

How to Make Cream Cheese Danish From Scratch

It’s Cozy Cottage Weekend time!  Come on in to my kitchen today, as I share one of my favorite recipes!    To me, cottage living harkens to days gone by when times were simple.  Grandma or Mom putting on their hand sewn aprons and making breads or rolls from scratch.  Nothing else smells quite like home to me as much as fresh breads baking in the oven!  I can’t take credit for inventing today’s recipe, as I clipped it from a magazine.  The magazine was either Country Woman or Taste of Home, and I can’t remember which one (I used to get both).  I have a whole sack full of clipped recipes to try, and the ones that get rave reviews go in my handwritten cookbook to make again.   … Continue Reading →

    It’s Friday and you know what that means..poetry in Five!  Today’s word was FRIEND.  I am delighted so much with what I have to share today…such fun!  It reminds me a little bit of Beatrix Potter and Lewis Caroll-each of whom were poetic influences in my childhood and early adult life.  I hope you enjoy today’s piece!   Go   The Tale of Sir Edward Daffodil-or Why Friendship is Important   Said the Snowdrop to her dearest friend- “I am so glad you’re here! To be alone in this frigid cold, Would surely be horrid my dear! The Winter wind whipped as it turned to Spring And we were but covered in snow, But at least we didn’t go it alone- It helps to have friends, you know!” … Continue Reading →

Friday Poem-When Being Sticky Was Fun and We Didn’t Worry About Messes!

      Ode to the Days Where Being Sticky Was Fun and We Didn’t Worry About Messes!   Do these Pictures bring back fun childhood memories for you?  They sure do for me!  That container of Elmer’s Paste takes me right back to Elementary school craft projects in the classroom.  The glue sticks remind of back to school shopping with Mom, as it was typical for her to by us each one.  Who remembers Mucilage?  What the heck kind of name is that for a glue anyway ? :).  I used to think mucilage must have something to do with mucus when I was a child (ew), but I enjoyed applying it to things with that rubber tip it comes with.   Why on earth is she talking about … Continue Reading →

Today I am bringing you something new!  If you aren’t yet part of the We Live Inspired Facebook community, you haven’t seen a new feature I started recently called “Warm Words of Wisdom (from my ♥ to yours)” ©.  It’s where I share wisdom that I have either learned from my own experiences or that is inspired at that moment by the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart.  Ironically, an author I really enjoy (Holley Gerth) has started something called “Coffee for your Heart Wednesday” in which we bloggers are to write an encouraging post for our readers.  Since encouragement is what I do here anyway, and I just happened to start that new feature on Facebook-I thought this was perfect!  I hope you will enjoy this new feature :D. The words … Continue Reading →

When You’re Feeling Unsure- Inspiration on Conquering the Unknown

Today’s topic of inspiration ended up being about the unknown, which you will find ironic when you start reading today’s post as I had NO CLUE what to even write about today. Today you will find out that the unknown can in fact be inspiring and awesome and that it’s ok if you are feeling unsure of yourself.  So on to today’s post then..you know you wanna read more!  😉     It’s been awhile since I have written here, which is ironic since today’s Five Minute Friday word is WRITE.  Linking up at Lisa Jo Baker’s website as usual for the 5 minute exercise that frees us to not over think things, but to just get the words out on paper for 5 minutes.  I have no clue what … Continue Reading →
