Welcome to Five Things Friday and The Embracing Home and Family Link Party #26!
Hey there everyone! I started this fun little Five Things Friday a few weeks ago, and it has been fun! We will continue with it this week.
- I asked you all for any recommendations on a coffee warmer. I took the recommendation of CoCo from The Crowned Goat and I purchased this one. I really like it. Now, it is a coffee warmer, not a coffee blazing hotter. I do like my coffee very hot. It does not keep it as warm as when it is first poured, but I have not used the microwave to heat my coffee all week! My husband, who is rather hard to impress with gadgety type stuff has been using it in the morning as well. His review is also glowing…he really likes it!
- I am working on a post for DIY cleaning products. I fiddled around and tweaked the recipes, writing notes and amounts and ingredients. Guess what I cannot find? Yep, I can’t find the paper that I wrote it on. I make and sell planners and printables to help people stay organized, yet I continue to scratch notes on the back of envelopes and proceed to lose them! Sigh…am I hopeless?
- It’s supposed to be super cold next week, single digits, and one day I saw the number 0… I don’t think knowing this ahead of time makes it any better.
- My husband has been singing this song to me when he gets home…I think I’m pretty “lucky”
- This scripture is a long one today, but I love the spirit of it. I Corinthians 2:1-5. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Hi Julie! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for hosting Jenn! Have a great weekend and try to stay warm with the single digits!
Thank you so much for featuring my dahlia seed post! I hope your audience finds it helpful. I’m so honored to be included in your round-up. Thank you!
It is such a beautiful and helpful post!
So glad you like the coffee warmer! Being a tad bit hotter is the only thing I wish it had too but since I don’t have a microwave in TCG Cottage I’ll take it so I don’t have to keep walking in and out of the house every 10 minutes he he. Hope your week was a special one. Thank you for the uplifting message and the scripture of the week too! Big hugs, CoCo
Thank you as always for coming, you are a bright spot!
Thanks so much for hosting! Love your five things! Have the best weekend! xo
Thank you so much for stopping by Stacy!
You’re not alone – sometimes I write crochet patterns down, and forget to note what size hook I used… Ugh!
I guess it’s the plague of creative people! Ha!
I’m still looking for a red scarf that I put away in a safe place for a craft project and that was two years ago! LOL Thanks for hosting Jenn and have a good weekend.
Yes! I guess we all have this problem!
Jenn, I enjoyed your 5 things. I could definitely identify with #2. 🙂 I appreciate the Scripture passage you shared, as well. And then there’s that recipe for potato chip cookies! I would never have imagined but I do like the idea of salty and sweet. 🙂 Our son told us recently that he smoked bacon wrapped oreos and how good they were. So I guess it time to try something new!
Hi Donna, I know, those cookies have me intrigued! Hmmm, Bacon and Oreos? I think my husband would be on board! Thank you for coming each week and for encouraging us with God’s word!
