A happy heart at home

If you like Christian fiction, you'll love this opportunity to meet your favorite authors! The American Christian Fiction Writers group is having a huge booksigning and author panels at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, on Saturday, September 20, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Click here for the list of 127 (127!) Christian authors attending. Thanks to Susan May Warren's e-newsletter for the info! (She's one of the authors.)

Now if they could only move the booksigning 1500 miles east! :)

This is one of Princess's favorite spots - the computer chair!
She jumps into it as soon as someone gets up.

I found this new meme by Mary (Canadagirl), and I immediately thought of my dining room! It's been used as a storage room for a long time, and I really want to get back to using it as a dining room.

Here's a pic of what one part of the room looks like now.



My time frame? Thanksgiving! I know that seems like a long time from now, but I have to work slowly (due to fibromyalgia) and I also have the rest of the house to declutter and homeschool to teach. As I clean, I will envision a beautiful dining room for our Thanksgiving meal!

What pops in your mind when you see Mary's 'No Procrastination' button? Are you ready to tackle it?

CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE
You can find this recipe here on allrecipes.com.

My tummy was tempted by chocolate pudding cake for the first time this past Thursday when we went to the Old Country Buffet restaurant. (See my post here for info on getting one buffet meal free with one adult meal purchase.)

I didn't add vanilla ice cream like in the picture, but it was delicious just the same!
