Grace at Home No. 334

Hello! Welcome, and don't blink--it's the end of March already! My goodness, 2019 is going fast, isn't it?

I'm so glad you're here for this week's Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace. Here are some links from last week's party I think you'll enjoy.

If you're decorating your home for Easter, you'll want to see how Erin at My Mommy World created an adorable wreath for the front door. Isn't this so cute?

If you need some encouragement about decorating your home for spring, you really should read this post from Julie at My Wee Abode. Julie shares how she's sprucing up her kitchen for springtime, and she also shares how she got stuck in the comparison trap along the way. Can you relate? I sure can! (I've written a whole book about comparison, which will be coming out in October!)

The calendar says it's Spring, but I know it's still gray and cold in many places. If you need some springtime inspiration, check out this post from Pam at Everyday Living

I am always looking for new main dish recipes so that I don't keep cooking the same old thing every night. I was so glad to get this recipe for Mongolian beef made in a sheet pan! You can find it here from Andrea at Living on Cloud Nine.

If you need some encouragement about trusting God with everything--including the little things--you'll be so glad to read this post from Dr. Michelle Bengtson.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the last party! I'm so grateful for each person who links up.

Now for this week's party! Grace at Home is a place for you to share anything related to making your home a place of grace. I invite you to link posts about

DIY projects
decorating
recipes
hospitality
homemaking tips
parenting
marriage
faith
self-care
soul care

Whatever you do to make your home a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it. Here's what I ask of you. Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page. Please let people know that you've linked up. No more than three posts per person, please. Note that if you link a post here, you are giving me permission to share your post, including a photo. And visit at least one of the other party participants--that's what really makes it a party!

Grace at Home No. 333

Hello, friends! I hope this finds you doing well this first day of Spring!!

I can hardly believe how quickly the days are flying by. But I must say I'm happy to see the end of winter. Here in North Carolina, the flowering trees are all in bloom. How are things in your neck of the woods?

I'm so glad you're here for the Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace. Here are some noteworthy links from the last party.

Lindsey from Repurpose and Upcycle created this gorgeous dresser, and she shares her technique with us.

Anika from Anika's DIY Life built this ottoman from 2x4's. She shares complete plans and instructions for you to build your own.

Arlene from Flour on My Face shares a recipe for Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken that looks truly delicious. I want to try this!

Michele Morin at Living Our Days reviewed Michele DeRusha's wonderful new book, True You. I think you'll want to read this review and also read True You!

Grace at Home No. 332

Hello, friends, and welcome to this week's Grace at Home party! I'm so glad you're here to pause with me and celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace.

Here are some links from last week's party I thought you would enjoy.

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. If you're looking for some good recipes to try for this fun day, you might want to check out the Guinness and beef pie recipe from Crystal at Hello Creative Family

or the Irish Shepherd's Pie from Carol at Comfort Spring.

Looking for a special St. Patrick's Day dessert? Try the Bailey's cupcakes from Kelly at Live Love Texas.

If you're looking for a fun sewing or craft project, you might want to try your hand at making a state pillow. Lindsay from Simply September provides a full tutorial.

Want to get a head start on some spring cleaning? Check out these incredible ideas for using coconut oil from Chas at Chas' Crazy Creations!

And if you want to make your home smell fresh and clean, you might want to check out this easy and chemical-free spray from Joy at Artful Homemaking.

This weekend brings the shift to Daylight Saving Time. Many of us look forward to having light-filled evenings, but changing our internal clocks to match the new time is tricky. Read this post from Thrive on One Income for some excellent advice!

Last but certainly not least, if you're married or are considering getting married, you'll be blessed by this post from Tiffiney at Welcome Home Ministries.
