  • A Heart For Homeschool Moms

    The bell has rung and school has started! For some, you are waiting until the day after Labor Day. When I was a homeschool mom, we would begin our studies the day after Labor Day. For the month of September, I will be posting on the subject of homeschooling.  Whether you are a seasoned homeschooler,…

  • Sunglass Fever!

    Sad to say, I didn’t really wear sunglasses until a few years ago.  Every now and then I would get a pair and  I would lose them or they would break.  When I had to get some reading glasses, I noticed that the sun seemed to bother me more than it had before.  I also…

  • What Does Fashion Have To Do With Self-Acceptance?

    It’s Fashion Friday!  The first step to having “Elegant Grace” in your life is by realizing and knowing  your value!  So let’s start there before we move into the fun stuff!  Are you ready?  Let’s do this! “Man!  You are UGLY!” I was in the 6th grade and that is what a boy named Curtis,…

  • Time to Pray for America!

    I have a dear friend; Donna Watson.  She is rallying everyone she knows to pray for our country each day.  She and her husband have been encouraging others for several months now to set their alarms for 8:00 p.m. each day.  When your alarm goes off, stop and pray for 1 minute for America.  If…

  • Fashion Friday!

      Welcome to my first attempt on a “What I Wore” picture!  I follow several fashion bloggers and I always love seeing their “OOTD.”  It took me a while to figure out that OOTD stood for “Outfit Of The Day.”  This was taken on a day that I was going to lunch with a friend…

  • A Daddy for Father’s Day!

    Father’s Day is a bittersweet day for me!  As a young girl, I was busy and didn’t ever sit around thinking, “woe is me, I don’t have a dad.” When I was older and became a Christian I began learning how God designed a family.  I wish I could take you back to the days…

  • Happy Blogiversary!

    Nine years ago, I wrote my first blog post!  Well, it was really, nine years and one month ago.  But, who’s counting? I began my blog, His Heart, My Desire, on a whim.  I had been writing some magazine articles and I was told that I needed some type of presence in social media.  So,…

  • Remembering, On Memorial Day!

    Memorial Day is a holiday for many; kids are out of school, banks are closed, mail doesn’t run and some stores close early.  This day calls for a cookout with family and friends, right? That is what we did and what fun it was to get together with everyone and catch up and just enjoy…

  • 10 Lessons I Learned From A Single Mom!

    My father left for the final time when I was 12 years old.  He had left us many times before, but this time, I knew it was forever.  I had two younger brothers; 9 and 2 years old.  We moved into a tiny rent house on the  south side of town and life was pretty…
