Random thoughts from a mom whose blessings are overflowing.
Last week we were blessed by a neighbor who let us take all of the pumpkins that were left in their pumpkin patch. We ended up with about 25! My mom and brother took some, but we still have many left. Even though we don’t really celebrate Halloween, we did have some fun carving pumpkins [...]
Two weeks into this series and I am feeling really good about meeting my goals of reading the Bible for 15 minutes and getting dressed nicely every day. I have been thinking about why goals I have made in the past never stick. I think it boils down to trying to do too much at [...]
This week I have been getting “dressed for success” by wearing nice clothes and fixing my hair. This was week #2 of trying to get my life and home organized before the new year. I am happy to say that I met my goal, and for the past 7 days I have worn jeans, a nice [...]

Last week I began reading the Bible for 15 minutes each day as I started trying to get my life and home organized before the new year. This week’s goal has to do with clothing. Now, I am no fashionista. Quite frankly I don’t enjoy shopping for clothes. I think it stems from when I was a teenager [...]
Due to apparent lack of interest in my link party, I will more than likely only host this link-up for another month (or the end of the year at the latest). Thank you to those of you who have been linking up. If more people start linking up each week I will definitely consider keeping [...]
The last time I posted a garden update was back in August, nearly 2 months ago. I have to say that even though we got quite a bit of produce from our garden, this was not our best year. From what I have heard from several people in our area, that was the norm around [...]
Welcome to Blessings Overflowing! My name is Jackie and I am a wife and mom to 5 beautiful children. This is my little corner of the blogosphere where you will find me rambling about such things as sewing, cooking, crochet, gardening, my family and more. [Read More …]
