Making Your Home Sing - With Scents

Don't you just love a home that is filled with a beautiful scent is?  Where you walk in and scents welcome and draw you in?  I do, and in my home I do everything possible to keep it smelling good.  Plug-ins, candles, potpourri, sprays...I have them all!

This week I tried a little nighttime routine that brought scent and comfort alive!  A few minutes before bedtime, I sprayed my sheets with Jasmine Vanilla pillow spray from Bath & Body Works. 

Then used the room spray Creamy Nutmeg also from Bath & Body Works only in the bedroom. (This is not a review for Bath & Body Works, these are just a few product I really like!) These are high quality product that bring a strong, beautiful scent - just the way I like it!  I usually don't spend extra money on items like this and actually used a coupon on one and found the other on Ebay!  

When it was time for bed, the room and the sheets smelled wonderful.  Through the night, the scent stayed on sheets revealing a calming, relaxing scent. This little action was definitely worth the effort.

Creating a fragrant home takes time and energy, but is something that can truly make our homes sing,  But the most satisfying and long lasting scent in any home is the spiritual frangrance released from a Christ filled heart.  Fill your heart and mind with God's Word and allow the sweet aroma of His life to fill your home.

    I love the smell of vanilla. Because of my allergies I have to be careful about some scents, but there are some that I can enjoy (as long as they aren't overpowering). Vanilla is one of them.

    Thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!

    Vanilla is my favorite and you are right B&BW's scents are long lasting. Glad you had such a"fragrant" night! :-)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
