Grace at Home on a special day

Y'all. Hello. It's Thursday, so it's time for the weekly Grace at Home party. . . but this is not just any Thursday, at least not for me.

Today is Thursday, September 5, just like September 5 was on a Thursday in 1963. Which means that today is my 56th birthday.

56! A few years ago that sounded so old to me! Not gonna lie, it still sounds a little bit old. But since my mom died when she was 58, I am grateful for every day I get. Needless to say, I hope I live well past my mom's age!

Anyway, while 56 may seem kind of old, here I am:

And I sure am grateful you're here for the Grace at Home party!

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

Looking for some early Fall decorating ideas? Look no further than this post from Paula at Sweet Pea. Paula is a master of mixing vintage items and DIY projects--you'll be so glad you checked her out!

Want to know a decorating secret from a seasoned pro? Marty from A Stroll Thru Life shares her #1 must-have accessory. Can you guess what it is?

Even though it's still late summer, getting past Labor Day signals that Fall is around the corner, right? If you're longing for a pumpkin spice fix, you might want to check out this pumpkin spice sugar scrub from Kelly at Live Love Texas.

Need a new dinner idea? Check out this sheet pan fajita recipe from The Lou Lou Girls.

This time of year is full of transitions, which can bring their fair share of anxiety. If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, you'll appreciate this post from Dr. Michelle Bengtson.

As for me, I posted a simple tip for hanging pictures so that they'll stay straight. Check it out here!
