This past weekend, our church hosted a small community musical featuring several children from our congregation. As part of the production, our church provided a small reception for the guests and actors with punch and cookies. Rather than serving them on our standard church-ish folding tables, I brought up a couple of paper tablecloths that I had received from MyPaperShop.
Sometimes, only the best will do. Perhaps it is a reception or a party. Maybe the occasion is a special birthday or holiday. Perhaps it is a retirement dinner or prom. Maybe it is a church dinner.

Our church is having their annual Palm Sunday pot luck luncheon this Sunday. Pot lucks are a long-standing tradition in many churches. Members are asked to bring a dish to share with others at the luncheon. Sometimes, churches become quite specific in their requests: last names ending in A-L bring a salad, M-S bring a vegetable, and T-Z furnish dessert. Then there are churches like ours that enjoy the thrill of what comes through the door, even if you do run the risk of having all chocolate cake (not a bad thing, either).

Of course, this also means that it is time to pull out the crates of holiday decorations I have in the attic - all nine of them. Continue reading
I am quite possibly the laziest housekeeper known in the Northern Hemisphere, if not the world. It absolutely pains me to clean the windows, tidy up the playroom and vacuum the living room, never mind mopping! If I can find away around the mop, I am certainly going to run with it! Continue reading
