Outfit // Nautical Spring

Hello everyone! Well, we made it through Tulip Time! This week is going great; the recovery of such an event can lots of times linger around for a few weeks, but this year I think we've already done quite well at getting things put away till next year and putting the house in order again. I think it helps too to make sure you don't rush into a busy coming period as well; that's just what we did the day these photos were taken before the hectic week came!-- took a jaunt down to the creek!

Outfit // Daffodil Ruffle

Hello dear friends! Michigan Spring is making it's usual teases of warm and sunny, in the high of 50F one day, to 30F below and 2" of snow the next day. But it's kinda expected after all these years of living in our fine Great Lakes State, so we've been taking it with stride as usual, making those ever "around-the-corner" days of Summer ahead ever more a prize.

Outfit // Beach Garland

Hello all! Priorities are something I've been trying to work on of late. What a task it can be! (Post to follow specifically on that.) But one I've set for myself is to try and spend more time with my youngest two sisters. With working hours long and more "grown-up" things to attend to, I feel this has easily taken a backseat. Two weekends ago now, when these pictures were taken, I decided to just hop up and take a little adventure with the two kiddos in tow one 50F. Saturday and goodness was it fun!

Outfit || Where I've Been || +10 Things That Make Me Happy

 
It's me it's me it's... Bekah! I wonder what you thought had become of me, had I been kidnapped and taken away to be a slave on a Caribbean island where there was no wifi access? Had I vowed to abstain from internet use until the day I die?? Had I gone off-grid and begun to raise all my own food leaving no time for social networking??? ...no. Nothing quite so dangerously exciting, crazily conviction-filled, or blindsidedly busied by was I. Time just slips past quickly, especially when you're doing something you love. Or putting off something you feel pressured by. Like blogging.

Outfit || Rustic Spring

 Hello all! So far this week, I have run a thrift shop, babysat, cleaned rabbit cages, read a novel, danced, sang [a lot!], played the piano, and of course, worked. I've also come into possession of 2 new shirts, and gotten rid of over 25 shirts and skirts courtesy of my spur-of-the-moment closet do over! It is sooo refreshing to actually have room to move in there and not be shoving everything around trying to find "that one shirt"! I tried on every hanging shirt I own and kept only the ones I felt pretty in...okay, I did keep one or two for sentimental reasons- haha! Another perk of getting rid of stuff is...you guessed it, not feeling guilty about buying more! Hahaha! Anyway! I'm bringing to you today an outfit that is quite my style!

Outfit // Too Much To Choose From

Many blessings to you this Sabbath! The day we stepped out to take these photos was such a grand one. Warm Spring weather greeted us and asked for us to stay extra long, leaving us with a few too many photos of old yellow shoes and a fabulous outdated floral jacket, but with some good memories in tow as well.

Outfit || 80's Flair

Wow! How long has it been since I did an outfit post?? I actually have 3 outfits photographed to show y'all, but since we are currently uploading the photos directly from our phone to Flickr... and two of them are on a memory card taken on the camera, here is the one outfit I can show you!

Outfit // Root Pretty (Review)

Hey friends! Boy, have I missed you all this week! As Bek explained in her Photo a Day post, we have had some behind the scenes issues over here on the blog. But all should be well soon which will get our schedule back together! Yay! But anyhow, I have an outfit and a fun review for y'all today so lets get to it!

Outfit || Winter's Spring

 

Hi everyone! How is winter treating you? I decided to pretend winter was actually spring, and this outfit was made! I first wore it here at Aunt Wendy's home, (the day of her son Matt's wedding) and then again one day later to a birthday party, but with a few different details. I wasn't technically wearing any white so... I didn't technically break the "no white after Labor Day" rule right? Well, I don't care if I did, 'cause I love the outfit I'm about to show you!

Day to Day // Warm Spring

Hey! Happy Thursday to you!
I thought I'd pop in to share a quick outfit with y'all! Life is about to get busy this weekend, as our family is in charge of our Church's annual yard sale, which will be held this Friday and Saturday. Lately, life has had it's ups and downs not so much as sad and happy moments, but as in crazy busy or normal and mundane.

A Left Behind Outfit

What I have here is just what the title states: an outfit that was left behind!

Top Reasons Why I Blog // Summer Plaid and Lace

Hello all!
I am SO excited to finally be back from our busy week! It seems like our house was more like a motel as this past week flew by. Only stopping in for a much deserved restful night's sleep, just to awake and repack our 'carry-on luggage' and catch an occasional quick bath when time permitted. Our home is getting back to normal as we catch up on the day to day cleaning and putting things back in their rightful places.

Though we took a multitude of photos to share with you, exactly what and how we do things for Tulip Time, I decided that it would be best to wait a few days to get all those thoughts together for y'all.
And, this morning I woke up with the feeling that I needed to write out my reasons for blogging. Why I have kept at it. And since it is kind of suitable at this point in our blogging (we are already almost at our one year milestone y'all!) I thought I'd go with it.

Funk + Fab || Outfit

Hey everyone!

I put this outfit together after completely reorganizing my half of our closet a while back and wore it the a few days later, April 12th. 

Seems so long ago!

Outfit // Almost Here Darling

Boy, have I missed you all! Since our 'tragedy' that Rebekah wrote about in our last post, we ended up deciding that it would be far too much trouble to blog on this little contraption. Seeing that the pictures we had our posts planned around for this week had already been down loaded to our laptop and just the fact that the format of this thing is so wacky, lead us to these delays- just in case you have been worried about us. :)

Outfit // a Fall Recap

 Hello all! How have you been this fine first week of April? Our snow has finally met it's match and has decided to once again seep into the thawing earth; making room for delicate buds awaiting the proper time to blossom. Though I am happy this season has finally arrived, I am felling slightly lazy downtrodden thinking about the work that comes with it since I usually head up spring clean-up around here. But once I see the benefits of clean grounds and abundant greenery come mid May, I will reap it's rewards.

Funk + Fab || 'Guest' outfit!

Hey! Time for a funk and fab!!!

As I usually do, I will be having an outfit accompanying them! 

From the title you can see that there is a guest outfit, but you'll have to scroll down to see who it is!

1 Button-Up | 3 Days | Day Three

Howdy everyone! Today I am posting day three for the ever so popular three day button up challenge!

It is kind of hard to believe that these past few days have already come and gone, but I had such a neat 

time looking through everyone's creations not to mention finding some new blogger ladies out there! I 

am pretty sure we all need to make sure and thank our dear friends and hosts for their support during 

this event! So, here I am, removing my hat to Fresh Modesty, Creations by Callie, The Boyer Family Singers, and Bramblewood Fashion. We are all well aware how much time it takes to put these kinds

of things in motion!

1 Button-Up | 3 Days | Day Two

Hello all! Are you ready for day two of the Button-Up challenge?
This was a pretty basic Friday for our household so today's outfit is also a little more casual, but oh so much nicer than yesterday's! And how much more can you dress up a denim top anyway? We will see what tomorrow brings.

1 Button-Up | 3 Days | Day One

Hey all! I'm feeling a bit behind in the blogging world this week, so hopefully this challenge will get my thoughts back on track!

SO- yes, this challenge! If you have been in the modest fashion blogging sphere for any length of time, I'm positive that you have been introduced to some of our leading role-models who are the lovely hosts of this event, Fresh Modesty, Bramblewood Fashion, Creations by Callie, and the dear Boyer Family Singers. The basic idea, is to choose one button up shirt and share your outfit creations each day for three days!

An Understanding of Shalom // in Soft Metallics

Hello!
I am so glad that this writing has not gotten pushed back more into the evening! Though our day has not been completely hectic, besides a fussy baby, piano lessons being postponed, and everything else tossed together, it is so nice to just sit and write a while!

Lately, I have been reading a book entitled 'Listening to the Language of the Bible Hearing It Through Jesus' Ears'.My Mom just happen to snatch it up one day last week as she made our usual book drop-off at the library.Being the one in our family who enjoys reading inspirational books the most, she made sure I knew she had found it as she continued to pass out the rest of that days finds to the rest of the crew.

It basically takes certain words that are used in our modern day Bible translations, that take on a higher meaning than what we have come to understand. It is so good! Each 'lesson' gets directly to the core issue without getting off tack or venturing too far in the wrong direction. It takes some Old Testament traditions and New Testament truths come together to make sense as a whole. And since each chapter is just a few paragraphs in length, I am going to be sharing with you today their thoughts on shalom, speaking the blessing and the vastness of peace.These thoughts are absolutely wonderful.

All statements in quotations have been taking from the Holy Scriptures and from Listening to the Language of the Bible written by Lois Tverberg and Bruce Okkema.
