A Mother's Love

content discovered on Sunday, May 12, 2013 in life, inspiration, family, substance of living, mothers day

I received another amazing email just in time to share for Mother's Day. I've titled this post "A Mother's Love" in honor of all mothers. Clinging on for dear life to the side of a vertical cliff, the tiny lion cub cries out pitifully for help. His mother arrives at the edge of the precipice with three other lionesses and a male. The females start to clamber down together but turn back daunted by the sheer drop. Eventually one single factor determines which of them will risk her life t...

What is your first impression of a home when you see a wreath hanging on the front door? Do you get a warm and fuzzy feeling of welcome? Does it feel as if it beckons you to celebrate?I have this thing about homes with wreaths. This is part of the voyeuristic side of me coming out. When I'm out driving around or walking, I will often stop and take a picture of the door. Do you do that? Please tell me I'm not the only one who takes pictures of other people's doors or lawns. Okay, that sentence sounded a l...

Homemade Shower Cleaner

The Makings of Substance of Living Homemade Shower CleanerI've been using my homemade laundry detergent for about a year now and absolutely love how my clothes come out nice and clean. I also use vinegar to clean my windows, stainless steel appliances, and use it to eliminate any funky odors like paint around the house. Another secret use for vinegar is to place it in shallow bowls around a room if there are smokers. Fortunately we don't have smokers in our home so we don't need to eliminate that odorife...

One of my neighbors, who was a school teacher, dropped the following off for me last week. Not really sure where she found this but it does substantiate our earlier conversation of how difficult the English language really is.Think about this: There are three different ways to spell a word and yet they have the same pronunciation: For, Four, Fore. Then there is one spelling and two different pronunciations and another spelling (yet pronounced the same as the present tense but means something completely d...

Have you looked at something and thought that you'd really like it and then find something else that you'd really like yet they are similar? I know, this isn't quite making sense yet but hopefully it will soon.After my recent dinner party, I took a good look at my napkin rings. As nice as they were, they seemed a bit small for my new napkins. Notice in the top picture the napkin seems a bit crowded in the ring. The second (bottom) picture looks a little better. More like a bow-tie. Rebekah from Twinkle...
