Want to see what I have been doing instead of writing posts here? Let me show you my little experiment. And please know that I am an official ‘hack’ at gardening. Google is my best friend! This is from the side of the garage. Three rose bushes framed with white and purple petunias, [...]

My Life as a Bear
May 10th, 2012
Amy Dunbar Do you ever feel like an animal? Perhaps you feel like a lion or a tiger, an eagle or a turtle. Whatever it is, there is some characteristic about the animal that resonates with who are at at that particular moment. We all have our ups and downs, our moments of joy and moments [...]
Warm Tears
April 17th, 2012
Amy Dunbar Driving to pick up my kids today I started crying. The tears, warm and heavy, streamed down my face as I focused on the road in front of me. Thankfully it wasn’t the sob-sob kind of cry that makes me a snotty mess, but rather a still, peaceful kind of cry. Being alone, [...]
Abiding in the Vine
April 3rd, 2012
Amy Dunbar The worship leader at my church asked several people to write what the ‘vine’ means to them. The lesson for the week was ‘Jesus is the vine.’ (John 15: 1-11) I spent some time in prayer and study about this and wrote something – very journal-like – which was read Sunday morning. A couple people [...]

March 16th, 2012
Amy Dunbar If you don’t have kids or if your kids don’t go to school, then you will probably not relate to this post at all. For the rest of you moms out there, though, who have kids in school, what do you think of spring break? It seems like most people love it or [...]
Where You Go . . .
March 10th, 2012

MSG and Me
February 28th, 2012
Amy Dunbar Would you believe that a coupon-lovin’-deal-chasin’-chick has suddenly gotten on a no MSG kick? I know – it is kind of crazy. And what is even crazier is the fact that I have a pantry FULL of canned soups and other random things that are loaded with some form of MSG. What started this? [...]
God’s Cupcakes
February 27th, 2012
Amy Dunbar As a mother, the decision to work and not stay-at-home full-time with my children was not made lightly. After my second son was born, I kept both the boys home with me for six months. It was great and I spent tons of time researching crafts and lessons I could teach my 2-year-old while [...]
Coming Soon: The Happy Alphabet
February 10th, 2012
Amy Dunbar Source: 3.bp.blogspot.com via Amy on Pinterest As you know, I love Pinterest. In fact, I love it so much I added a little widget thingie over to the side. Say hi to my recent pins. This has really revved up my creative engine and gotten me out of the tech-box of my computer. Blogging [...]
5 Ways to Use Your Smartphone to Talk to God
February 2nd, 2012
Amy Dunbar These days more and more people are getting a smartphone whether it’s the iPhone or an Android, our world has been infiltrated with technology. I still remember the first time I saw a commercial advertising a phone that you could do ‘face time’ on or watch movies, and I remember thinking, “Who would ever [...]
