Cajun Joie de Vivre
Hello, Friend…
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. I'm married to my best friend, Ryan, and we have four boys. It takes some pretty creative engineering to keep our home and family prospering but we figure it out and I'm happy to share some of our life with you all!

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 [...]

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. [...]
Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. Psalms 24:3-4 Lately I’ve been sort of absent from the online world. That’s because God [...]
