Welcome to the All Things HEART & HOME link up at mercyINK!
I was so blessed by every post last week. THANK you for linking and joining in this community to celebrate creative homemaking and faithful living.
Here are my top picks in both categories from last time:
/ / H O M E / /
> > Christine of Let’s Get Crafty tested some DIY home cleaner… she says they work! Click over for the easy recipe.
> > Love this simple tip from Heather at Our Cultivated Life use a “going up basket”!
> > And Gail at 1-Minute Bible Love Notes shared such a lovely idea of using decor to tell your story. Each book represents a season in her life. How sweet!
Now, for a few featured inspirations for our parenting, faith, life, etc:
// H E A R T / /
>> New Life Steward linked up an encouraging guest post from Jaimie of Living in the Light. It’s packed with wisdom on mentoring younger women (the Titus 2 way), and I think it really applies to women at any age.
> > Mary at OrganizationMatters linked up another FANTASTIC post on setting limits in shopping for kids clothes.
She has completely inspired me to do a major purge of the kids clothes. And I couldn’t agree more with Mary’s “soapbox” on our society living in excess. Please go read the tips… Can I say again, this post is fantastic?

LAST WEEK on mercyINK > > > I shared my latest graphic design for a friend’s etsy shop. Would love to hear what you think of it (and of Jen’s awesome shop!)
We also returned from vacation, so I shared some photos and a word on “home”. I hope you’ll read and let me know what home is for YOU.
