SAVE THE DATE!

If you are local to the Caddo Mills area, I would love to see you on December 6th at the Caddo Mills High School. We are planning to be at their Christmas shopping expo again this year. I loved participating last year!

A vendor booth with a floral tablecloth and a charming apron with a legacy displays signs and baked goods. The sign reads "Home with Grace and Joy." Decor includes flowers and informational pamphlets. A stroller with a blanket rests on the left side.

In other news –

We were blessed to get to celebrate my dad’s birthday this week! It’s not every day you turn 85!

An elderly woman and man are sitting side by side in a restaurant booth, smiling at the camera. The woman, wearing glasses and a striped shirt, exudes warmth and charm reminiscent of cherished Apron Strings memories. The man wears glasses and an orange shirt.

We had a good time eating out on his actual birthday, but this weekend, most of the family got together, ate, and hung out. If you are ever looking for an easy meal to feed a lot of people, a taco/nacho bar is super easy and delicious!

One more I had to share!

A black and white marbled composition notebook with a black spine. The front label reads "Composition Book, 80 Sheets, Wide Ruled, Pen+Gear, Made in the USA," with lines for writing a name—perfectly suited for jotting down notes or apron strings recipes.

I love the cute colorful composition notebooks, but these plain ones are the ones I use on a daily basis for my Bible reading journaling time. They are always less than a dollar at Walmart, but right now, they are $0.38!!!

Here is a link to the notebooks.

  1. What a fun way to celebrate your Dad’s birthday, Susan. I love that you guys are close and do so much together. There’s nothing like making extra special memories. Especially, as our parents grow old. Big hugs, CoCo
