On May 16, 2016 By mrsjschonIn Crafts5 Comments

This week I'm doing a series of posts on scrapbooking. If you missed the first post, you can read it here. May is National Scrapbooking Month, and I want to celebrate it. Ten years ago I would have never guessed that I would LOVE to scrapbook, but thanks to Creative Memories' pocket albums I love …

Scrapbooking – Let’s Celebrate!

On May 16, 2016 By mrsjschonIn Crafts1 Comment

This week I want to celebrate scrapbooking. I'm going to do a series of posts related to scrapbooking. We're even going to have a small giveaway. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be totally in love with scrapbooking I would have laughed in your face. Scrapbooking scared me. I can …

Hidden Art – Food

On May 11, 2016 By mrsjschonIn encouragement2 Comments

This is a topic that concerns everyone. We all eat. Sometimes I lament the fact that my children expect three meals every day along with numerous snacks. It's a lot of work! But the truth is we all eat - every day. Just because this is something we do every day, several times a day …

This song is one of the first I learned a fancy arrangement to that I played in church. I think I still have that music somewhere and feel like getting it out now. Anyway, I enjoy doing these hymns on Mondays for so many reasons. One it that it's a nice start to my week …

I've been doing lots of scrapbooking this week, and I was able to get a new Sunday dress 90% finished for my youngest daughter. I tried something new on it and was so happy with the results. So was my daughter. The weather is finally warming up, and my children are thoroughly enjoying our back …

Hidden Art – Flower Arrangements

On May 4, 2016 By mrsjschonIn encouragement4 Comments

Okay, I'll admit - this is an area that I really have no talent in. Even so Mrs. Schaeffer would not accept this as an excuse for not somehow adding flowers to my life and the life of our family. And to be honest, reading this chapter has inspired me to try to do more …

Healthy Simplicity - Hymns of Encouragement

Onward, Christian Soldiers

On May 2, 2016 By mrsjschonIn encouragementLeave a comment

I find hymn stories to be fascinating. The why behind the inspiration for the writing of the hymn. The author of "Onward, Christians Soldiers", Sabine Baring-Gould, never intended the song for publication. He only desired a song for school children to sing as they marched from one village to another. He was surprised at how …

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.
