Inexpensive Unity Candle Holder

Unity Tealight Candle Holder

What a great idea! CBD carries this unique and very affordable unity tea light candle holder. At under $10, it is the least expensive ready-made set I’ve seen. At this price, it is even cheaper than the unity candle set I made for our wedding. While it isn’t personalized, the inscription on it is meaningful [...]

Butterfly Unity Candle

Living in Northern Wisconsin, I obviously absolutely love nature. (Why else would I put up with 30 below zero winters?)

Elegant Gowns

I envy Brooke Ritzman, the owner of Elegant Gowns because she is living my dream. I know, I know – as a Christian I am not supposed to be jealous but I’m human and I’m jealous. Brooke runs her business debt free, she works from home and she loves her work. That is where I [...]
