I just came across another one of my fellow Simple Organic contributors whose blog I [...]

365 Project: January’s Calendar

by gidget crafty

I’ve been having so much fun with the 365 Project. Every couple of days I go back to my phone and camera and choose a photo to represent each day (because let’s be honest, I’m not organized enough to do this every day like you’re supposed to).
Some days I can’t choose just one, so I [...]

Give Water For Christmas

by gidget faith

It’s hard to peek outside our own little bubbles, as we feel frenzied with Christmas stress cheer, to stop and think about how truly blessed we are. To think about the fact that so many moms can’t even provide clean water for their families.

With My Own Two Hands

by gidget life

inspired by emily and ben/jack.

I wipe dirty hands and teary faces.
I capture memories.
I sew, quilt, embroider, color, create.
I write these words.
I write a note to a friend.
I type words that make a story.
I hold a hand.
I cook a meal.
I plant a garden.
I send a text.
I give a back rub.
I bake bread.
I pick up shells.
I hold [...]
