  • Beehive Tote

    For those of you that don’t know me…I am a bit of an Ikea nut. This tote has those lovely colors! 🙂 There is an interesting honeycomb pattern in the yellow. African fabrics are always such vibrant colors!! Use it as a shopping bag when you go to Ikea, or when you are out and…

  • How Does Your Garden Grow?

    We are working on our garden here in Tanzania. There are bananas, papayas, watermelon, spinach, peppers…etc…the list goes on for a bit. Some of our attempts result in something that we can eat, and some result in bug infested failures. And there are also those which don’t even start to grow. It all takes time,…

  • Under His Wings

    Living in a small village in Africa has its wealth of different experiences. Last night we experienced the second “mini-riot” within a one year period.

  • The Foreteller

    If you had the opportunity to see your future, would you do it? So many times I have wished that I could see what was coming, just so I would know what choices to make. Obviously, by making certain choices, I can sort of guide the direction I want to go…but can’t really foretell what…

  • Beauty Secrets

    Have you ever noticed that when you feel beautiful, your entire personality changes, and you see other people respond? It is a cycle. A nice one. Then, on a different day…one isn’t feeling so beautiful and it’s easy to see that other’s don’t respond either. Beauty and confidence, quite often, go hand in hand. People…
