Baby Belly Time
As mother's day nears us, I'm reminded of the beauty and miracle of mother more acutely than my everyday life as a mother. I'm now eight months pregnant with our eight child {seventh girl} and so thankful that I am blessed to be a mother.

Pink-the Authentic Color
Pink is friendly, warm, sweet and cheerful. With so many girls in BelleView Cottage you can imagine that pink is a favorite color here. My son bares the color tolerably and without complaint, not that he has to wear pink, mind you, but he has grown to enjoy it as a part of the rainbow of colors in nature. My husband, however with his football masculine pride occasionally complains about pink and flowers. I cheerfully remind him that God created pink and all the flowers, therefore pink is ...

Changes to the Homemaking Cottage
Life changes like the seasons. I find myself weeks away from holding another precious baby in my arms. There is something exciting and fresh about a newborn infant. A new baby in the home often makes me stop and refocus life on the small and simple pleasures of daily life. The preparation for a baby gives women the "nesting" urge to clean house, organize essentials {and sometimes non-essentials}.
I have found in running my business there have been many times of growth and change....

"CUTE" Garland
I wanted to make a new garland for my studio shelf, so I went a different color scheme than I normally do. I am really liking the bright aqua and brown.
It is made of pre-made tags so I was able to get it together very quickly.
Enjoy!

Part seven of the Series: Food for the Family
While Ramen is cheap, fast, and super easy to make something that perfect should be scrutinized. My mom taught me at a young age to identify MSG by reading ingredient lists. Ramen was banned from my house growing up and still is today.
MSG or Monosodium Glutamate is a preservative and flavoring that was widely used even in the kitchen. When it was discovered that MSG is bad for the body, even causing some to have terrible allergic reactions, it was no longer sold over the counter....
