I’m not sure I can explain the comfort of hosting Tuesdays Unwrapped again even though it’s only for the next few weeks. I haven’t made my way through all 98 entries, but the ones I’ve read are simply lovely. Thank you for seeing the holy moments in the midst of ordinary life and for sharing them with us. I hope you’ll do it again next week.
Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite links from this week:
I think I’m going to make these winter branches with duct tape from my sister.
Lisa Leonard made a darling wonder-filled pewter wand for kids.
Amber Haines gives an update on Titus, her sweet baby who just won’t gain weight.
Ree wrote a beautiful tribute post to her Grandmother who died yesterday.
Boo Mama gives links to 10 free printables.
Over 400 Christmas mantle decorating ideas at The Lettered Cottage.
What have you found to inspire you this week? Share one link in the comments! (If you share more than one link, it will think you’re spam and your comment won’t go through). Happy Friday.
My child is grown and my life is different now but…I loved this blog. http://lisajobaker.com/2012/12/why-mom-significant-job-title-will-ever/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thegypsymama+%28thegypsymama%29
I discovered this beautiful, amazing song by Matthew West written by him after hearing the story of a mother who found the strength and peace to forgive the man who killed her daughter after he got behind the wheel while intoxicated. If you let it, it will speak directly to your heart…..

I just stumbled across a diy tutorial for bird nest necklaces–they are adorable and look simple enough for me to try without giving up.

I really enjoyed this post by Heidi about how hard it is to let ourselves enjoy all the Christmas goodness we’ve been anticipating.
