It’s a treat to hear from you today, friend.

A warm welcome back to Danishdoll; it’s good to hear from you again. You were missed.
A special hello to any of my family reading this.
You are loved,

Good to be Home 
hi shanda…….always a treat to hear from you as well! thanks for taking the time to blog for all of us to enjoy. “time is the most valuable thing a person can spend.”
such sweet pictures! have a fabulous and peaceful day!
such a sweet post. and, omw!! THAT is! a lot of socks! always love coming here Shanda..
I like you idea of writing a book of the Bible. I remember things best when I write them. That is a pile of socks! Thankful for all the toesies that fill them The picture with Sarah holding her baby is so sweet. Love seeing you and “Yours” too. Lord bless your day Shanda. We are off to check the garden and see a new puppy our friends just got.
great pics! you look so happy and pretty in the one of just you. on the sock topic…I visit elderly people for my job. One of them shared this story of how they dealt with socks while laundering for a large family… I thought her tip was quite clever. A little time consuming initially but worth it in the end. Anyways, she would have her kids safety pin the two socks together before they put them in the wash. that way they came out still together. Again, might be a lot of work for the little ones but thought I’d pass that tip along. I just love stories from the wise older folks and esp. stories about how they homesteaded. blessings!
That safety pin idea sounds great!
Love all the pics!
And reading your blog is one of those little treats!!
Just thinking I wouldn’t have the patience to match all those socks! Enjoyed your newsy post!
Your sock piles made me laugh! I always like I have accomplished something when each and every sock I washed has a mate in the end. LOLI wrote out the book of James once. Great experience. (I don’t think it is nearly as long as John though.) Blessings dear friend.
I love the “tough guy” faces Caleb makes when he is holding the gunGrace’s Socks looks a lot like our Maggie!Your handwriting is lovelyHow DID she get all those cheerios on there?!
Love this. 🙂 Caleb’s smirk is adorable! Your cursive is SO pretty. And that plate is totally adorable! Did you get all of those socks done?! That’s a ton!Have a great day!
so many SOCKS!
You’re writing out the entire book of John? That is very interesting. Could you share a bit more about what led you to want to do that? How long do you think it will take? I have contemplated writing out Proverbs 31 several times.
I have the same sock issue! My solution has been having each kid match 7 pairs. By the time they are all done it’s much more manageable for me to finish.
@Sevenofus – Great idea!!
