Hi, I'm Joy!

I'm a homemaker and homeschooling mom of 5. For over 25 years I've been cooking from scratch and making homemade bread for my family of 7. I love sharing sourdough recipes, easy dinner ideas, and simple DIY projects for your home.

    Elisabeth,
    Thanks! My mom gave me that cup and saucer…I "rescued" it from being put in the thrift store box. 🙂

    Sarah,
    Thank you for your cheery comment! 🙂

    Thanks! I love Phil. 4:8. ♥

    Mary,
    Yes, there are some aspects that are harder to see as beauty…although it helps that my daughters were the ones doing those dirty dishes! 🙂 And yes, the reminder that dirty dishes mean a meal eaten and enjoyed!

    Beautiful! I love the turquoise cup and saucer. And the sweet sound of music in my home is a joy to me as well.

    Oh yes there is beauty in it ALL. But sometimes I need to look harder in the beauty of dirty dishes and remember what it shows. It shows that we were able to eat, what a blessings indeed.

    Blessings and ((HUGS))

    Beautiful pictures. Ordinary, everyday things are beautiful. Reminds me of Phil 4:8 … whatever is lovely … let your mind dwell on these things.

    I loved this post, Joy! Your photos are amazing! Such beauty reflected in the simple things of life . . . or perhaps that is what makes them beautiful – their simplicity.

    Thank you for sharing as simply looking at this post was inspiration for me as I start my day!
