As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Weekend Reading


, , , and maybe even a little drooling.


I took a little birthday money and pre-purchased my copy of Nora Murphy's new book. It was worth the wait! A feast of house-y goodness and inspiring ideas. I flipped through every single page the day it arrived, and now I'm perusing, reading every word.

    Cheryl, I first learned of Nora Murphy from you. I was tempted to buy her book as well, and I may still. Her style is lovely. Enjoy all the goodness I'm sure her photos and ideas will bring. ♥

    That looks like a lovely book!! I have not heard of Nora Murphy but must check out her books! Your Pineapple House could be featured in her books I think! Love your style.

      This is Nora Murphy's first book, but I've been following her blog and e-magazines and Instagram for several years and I love her style, so your compliment is huge!

      (I wrote this post when I first discovered Nora . . . http://thinking-about-home.blogspot.com/2014/07/house-y-inspiration-nora-murphy-country.html. I included lots of pictures!)
