Cajun Joie de Vivre
We used to live in a small town about 45 minutes away from the nearest Home Depot so when we moved to the city I was so excited that we would be able to attend the workshops at Home Depot. In fact, we now live about 5 minutes from one!
The boys love building things and showing off their creations. This is one of our favorite “regular” field trips”. To find one near you go to Home Depot. The best part: it’s free!

I'm Amy Bayliss. I'm Cajun: born and raised just south of Baton Rouge, LA. I'm passionate about family, heritage, home, and my Lord, Jesus Christ. I've been called a pioneer in women's online ministry and an architect of ideas: I like that. It glorifies my Father. Here I share those ideas and the thoughts and creativity inspired by my walk with Him.

While my family doesn’t celebrate Halloween we do participate in some of the familiar Fall traditions that surround it: pumpkin carving, Fall decorating, and my boys’ favorite, pranks! This year, during our pumpkin carving festivities, we made a big deal of it by inviting some friends over and having a buffet of goodies to eat. [...]
I married a northern boy whose family is from Iowa. They don’t eat grits. It’s sad really. He was so deprived. *laughs* My family on the other hand loves grits. Especially Cajun shrimp and grits. I’m still trying to get that hunk of a man of mine to eat them. He has no idea what [...]
We are now an official football family. Not just the kind that watches the Saints and LSU tigers every time they grace the field but the kind who bring kids to practice, cheer real loud even when they mess up, and put up with smelly uniforms. I knew that with four boys eventually it would [...]
This is a family favorite. So much so that after I made the first one and made an attempt to take a photo, some dessert bandit (who shall go unnamed) had already taken a big bite of said desert. Oh well, it happens. 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1/2 [...]
If Mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy? I know you have heard that before. Like me you probably have said it a time or two. And you know it’s true. The emotional atmosphere of the house can affect it in a big way. Who cares if the house is clean if no one there is [...]
I’ve been sharing about the journey that led us to the spiritual cleansing of our home. If you missed those posts you can find them all listed here: Spiritually Clean Home. In this post I’ll share about the experiences we had while “unoccupying” our home. Ryan and I knew we wanted our home to be [...]
In my Unoccupied, Swept Clean, and Put In Order post yesterday I talked about Matthew 12:44 being the foundation for our home’s cleanliness. Today I’ll attempt to break a bit of it down for you. Let’s read the whole section that this scripture comes from: The Sign of Jonah 38 Then some of the Pharisees and [...]
I’ve been studying the bible a lot lately. Blogging breaks are good for that. I’ve also been praying for guidance as to how, when, and exactly what book I should publish next and what content I should post. I know what I feel God is speaking to me but I had to have greater details. [...]

How cool!!!
Our Home Depot has some of those as well, but we’ve never tried any of them. Sounds like FUN!

My kids love Home Depot. We started going this year and they are bummed if we miss a month. I have a couple of posts about it on my blog and photos of all of the projects we completed. I wonder what we’ll be making next month.
I forgot all about those! AND…we just moved to the city. I will check it out!
I’m sure your girls would love it! And yes, it’s FREE!

Thanks for the reminder Amy. I keep wanting to go to one of these. I think my girls would be right into this. Is there a cost?
