Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 38

Thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at a few things faith, family, and home!

A banner featuring "Apron Strings & Blessings - Tying Faith, Family, and Home Together One Blessing at a Time" with a circular "Home with Grace and Joy" logo. Celebrate the strength of apron strings at www.homewithgraceandjoy.com.

I hope you had a great weekend! We got to celebrate Jay’s birthday (which is actually today) over the weekend with the family. I love it when we can all get together!


I didn’t take many pictures, but we enjoyed our time.

Whatever you have going this week, I hope you make it a great one.

Latest Saturday Morning Devotional

Saturday’s Post – The “Joy” of Giving: The Legacy of Aunt Joy

Please pray for her family. I had this post scheduled to go out Saturday morning, and my sweet aunt passed away that very morning.

Smiling elderly woman with gray hair and glasses stands beside someone, with text above her that reads "The Joy of Giving." Celebrate a lasting legacy at www.homewithgraceandjoy.com, as inspired by Aunt Joy’s generous spirit.

I just found this picture of my aunt with my dad and uncle when they were little. It is in a glass tray/frame, so there is definitely a glare, but the picture is so cute! I love it!!!

Three young children stand outdoors in vintage clothing. The girl in the center wears a dress with apron strings and sandals; the two boys on either side wear light-colored outfits. Bushes and an open, rural landscape form the background.

April’s Scripture

Text on a rain-soaked window reads: "Showers of Blessings: 'May He come down like rain upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.' Psalm 72:6." Experience grace and joy at www.homewithgraceandjoy.com.

YouTube Scriptures

A square metal fire pit filled with lava rocks, with yellow and blue flames rising from the center against a dark background—perfect for gathering around in your favorite apron strings on cool evenings.

Easy Chicken Spaghetti with Rotel

Here is another quick and easy recipe.

A casserole dish filled with cheesy baked chicken spaghetti sits on a counter. The melted golden cheese covers the pasta, similar to a Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada bake. Text reads: "Easy Chicken Spaghetti with Rotel" and "homewithgraceandjoy.com".

This might be one of the cutest toys I have seen in a while! It is a momma duck and her babies.

A "Pets Alive Mommy Duck Baby Surprise" toy set includes a plush white duck, a toy nest with eggs, five small ducklings attached by apron strings, a gold egg with a yellow duckling inside, a cracked egg shell, and packaging.

This knife set is beautiful, and it is on sale right now for 60% off!

A set of seven kitchen knives in various sizes and colors, each with a matching blade cover, and a pair of white and beige kitchen scissors displayed above the knives—perfect for any home chef inspired by classic Apron Strings charm.

I feel like I share these links all of the time. However, when people have asked me for them, I have had a hard time finding them in a post or newsletter.

  • She Reads Bible (This is the one I get the most questions about.)
  • Travel Outfit
  • Gravity Induced Cup Warmer – I found a new use for this! I still use this in my she shed for my coffee cup, but I bought another one to keep my percolator warm. It fits perfectly on this.
A collage features a floral Eiffel Tower mug on a warmer, a woman in an olive green loungewear set holding coffee, and a beige devotional book with a rose gold notebook on the table. Text: "Most Asked for Links." Cozy moments tied together like apron strings.

You can see my favorite items that are on sale, with a few others at my Amazon storefront. See the link below to check them out.

This is interesting – my Amazon storefront shows in real time the trending picks from all of you! The outfit is one of them, but I am surprised by the last one.
