Healthy Simplicity - A Year-Long Gift

A Year-Long Gift

On June 11, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts11 Comments

Men can be very difficult to give a gift to especially if you like to make homemade gifts. About a year ago I saw an idea on the internet that I thought would be easy to copy. I can't remember exactly where to give it credit, but I've seen it more than one place since …

Spring and Summer Wreaths Round-Up

On May 26, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts4 Comments

I love making wreaths and displaying them on our front door. I have to admit some of my first attempts have been a bit on the cheesy side, but I'm getting better. I have a board all about wreaths on Pinterest, and I thought today that I would share my favourite ones for the Spring …

Frogs, Reading and Depression

On May 14, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Children, Crafts5 Comments

Tonight I was feeling a bit on the depressed side. For four months I've been dealing with a health issue. It's not serious, but it's always there. I'm just so tired of never feeling 100% great. Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself and knew I needed to pull myself out of the funk I …

Healthy Simplicity - A Bouquet for Mom

A Bouquet for Mom

On May 6, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts8 Comments

A couple of months ago I saw an idea that I thought would make a great gift for my mom for Mother's Day. It's been a while since I made a gift for my mom that I was really excited about. I filed the idea and then forgot about it until about a week ago …

Pinterest Board Cover Tutorial

On April 22, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts11 Comments

Disclosure: Affiliate links I've seen a lot of pretty and unique Pinterest board covers and thought I'd try making some for myself. My first attempt didn't turn out too well. Then I realized I was making it too hard. With my Panstoria Artisan digital scrapbooking software and PicMonkey it's actually very easy. I'm going to give you …

Fun With Cardboard

On February 5, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts6 Comments

Today I was able to cross something off my Pinterest list. I find that I pin all kinds of projects on Pinterest but never do them. They look interesting, but if there not right in front of my face I forget about them. So every once in a while I scroll through my boards writing …

Buttons – A Multi-Purpose Embellishment

On January 20, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Crafts, Sewing22 Comments

Quirky fact about me: I LOVE buttons. I buy them in bulk whenever I get a chance. My button box is overflowing so I also have button bags. I guess you could have figured that out just by looking at the top of this page.     I am always looking for ways to use …

Toilet Paper Holder for a Small Bathroom

On June 17, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Crafts, Family2 Comments

So all over Pinterest you see these list of hacks that you just have to know. I do not claim to be a creative person on my own. I can follow a pattern or a recipe and maybe do a little embellishment, but mostly I need lots of direction. Which is why I was so …

Tent and Toy Box

On March 8, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Crafts2 Comments

It's been a great week. We had another birthday to celebrate. My toddler is now a three-year-old. We had so much fun with his birthday party. And speaking of parties, I realized as we were all singing to him our family is big enough that we make a party all by ourselves without outside help. …

A Toy Box Cover

On March 5, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Crafts, Sewing8 Comments

Today I did a sewing project that has been on my list for a while. That always makes me happy. The reason it was on my list so long is because I had to figure out how exactly I wanted to do it. I wanted to cover the small toy box we keep in our …

Welcome to My Blogging Home

Hello, I’m Jennifer. I’m a recently widowed pastor’s wife with eight children. Nothing really prepared me for the wonder and chaos of being a mother to eight or for the agony of losing my best friend. I use this blog to keep myself organized and to hopefully be an encouragement to Intentional Simplicityyou as well.
