    The Home Depot Celebration of Service 2012 – Meet a military family.

    December 12, 2012 /

    The Home Depot Celebration of Service 2012 – Meet the Purvis family! I had the pleasure of meeting the Purvis family in GrandRapids, Michigan last week, as a part of The Home Depot Celebration of Service 2012.  The Home Depot provided them (that we delivered) with decorations, a corner Christmas tree, and an opportunity to meet a wonderful family.  Throughout my time with the family we shared plenty of laughs and a few serious and emotional topics. Mr. Purvis has been in the Army National Guard forabout 11 years.  He has been deployed 3 times,to Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan.  The family’s living room wall is covered in pictures and memories…

    A New View from My Kitchen Window From here(someone else’s idea):  Source: thecreatedhome.blogspot.com via Leanne on Pinterest To here(brought to life in my kitchen window): The Lilac blooms look beautiful hanging from my wall.  They are off my busy counter and into the lovely view around my kitchen window.  I love finding easy ways to be inspired and to make my house a home.

    Christmas Traditions Decorating at Home and at Church

    November 27, 2011 /

    As the leftover Thanksgiving turkey is down to turkey salad, Christmas decorations are hauled from the closets.  Boxes, cartons and plastic bins hold memories, treasures and herald the coming holiday.  The last plastic bin was rifled through hoping to reveal perky Christmas towels.  There on the bottom, as if an afterthought was a sheet of typed, well copied paper from Keflavik Naval Air Station’s PWOC about Christmas tree history.  A paper reminder of good times, great ladies, strong values: military spouses of all services and NATO nations. Christmas Tree HistorySince the earliest days of the bringing of evergreens indoors at Christmastime has been one of the first ways of giving…

    Blogger Friends! and more on Veterans Day this Year

    November 18, 2011 /

    Quest 35 Service ProjectMilitaryAvenue is always looking for new resources for our military community! Last Friday, on Veterans Day, I met some patriots and fellow bloggers who I think you might find interesting and helpful. Enthused, caring and smart, their excitement could be felt during our get together and the project. Hard working too! So they have information to share and stories to tell that just might get you over a hump day or help finish that bathroom project you have been waiting to get started on! First, I am not a real handy DIY (Do it Yourself) guy. Maybe it was all the military moves and short stays at…

    Halloween on a Budget

    September 27, 2011 /

    Autumn has begun and with that come thoughts of beautiful shades of leaves, pumpkins, apple picking and more.  Many families begin to decorate their home with the season’s decor.  It is so much fun to walk the aisles of our local Target or eXchange to see the latest Halloween decorations; lighted jack-o’-lanterns,  black cats, funny graveyard markers, skeleton-bones and zombies everywhere.  It is fun to look at but a family on a budget needs to do more looking then putting in their cart! How do you save this time of year?  I have a few suggestions.  To start with, I love the change of season.  I love to decorate the house as we…
