Articles on Femininity...
Thanks to a comment she made on this blog, I came across a lovely blog by Penelope. She is a new bride whose blog covers everything from homemaking and cooking ideas to articles on femininity and accepting people as they are. I truly enjoyed her posts on femininity... so much so that they are printed and stashed away for easy access. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did!!

The Children's New Work Space...
Mama's New Work Space...
There's something about September that gets me in the mood to organize. We have this wonderful little desk in our kitchen and though it is very handy, it rarely looks nice. I decided to paint the two paper organizers black (they were white), hang the chalkboard, and move my herbs inside. I really like how it turned out. Everything looks more pleasing to my eye and that's a huge motivator to work there and keep things looking nice!!
