Grace at Home No. 443


Hello, friends! I am writing this on a crisp October day, grateful that even here in North Carolina the weather is finally starting to feel seasonally appropriate. I know my friends up North may scratch their heads at this, but around here the summer weather drags on and on. I'm glad to be able to wear a sweater! What's it like in your neck of the woods?

I'm also glad to welcome you to the Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes and spheres of influence places of grace and beauty. Here are some features from last week's party.

Want some fun Halloween decorations but also want to keep things in the neutral color zone?  Angela from Simply Beautiful by Angela has some great tips for you.


Is there a dated feature in your home you'd like to change, but you can't afford to tear it out and start over? Christin from My Homier Home shares her step-by-step process for updating her fireplace surround—with spray paint!



Want to be hospitable but not sure where to start? Jenn from The Everyday Farmhouse can help you—I love her unique take on making your home welcoming.


Planning a Halloween gathering? Carol from BlueSky at Home shares a complete tutorial for making DIY place cards. Her ideas could easily be adapted for other holidays, too.


Cooler weather makes me long for warm, filling foods, but these days I'm trying to not to go overboard with eating too much gluten and sugar. If you're like me, you'll be glad to see this recipe for Almond Flour Pancakes from Julie at Julie's Creative Lifestyle.


If you like to read books and support authors (as an author, I surely appreciate that!) but you can't afford to purchase every book, what can you do? Barbara at Stray Thoughts has some great ideas.


Are you in the midst some work that feels unduly hard, even horrible? The wise and encouraging Michele Morin from Living Our Days shares some valuable words to help you persevere. 


Thank you to everyone who linked up!

Now for today's party.  Here at the Grace at Home party, you can link up any post you've written that demonstrates how you're filling your space with truth, goodness, and beauty. I invite you to link posts about

  2. Sounds like we're all having the same weather! Here in NJ it's been very warm with a few cooler days mixed in. The leaves are slowly changing but are usually farther along by now. Thanks for hosting!

  12. It's much the same here with the heat dragging on. It still gets fairly warm in the afternoon but at least the mornings and evenings are cool. Thanks for hosting, Richella. Have a blessed weekend.

  14. الوقاية من الحشرات في المنازل تدخل الحشرات إلى المباني للبحث عن الغذاء والمأوى والدفء، وعلى أصحاب المنازل إجراء عدّة احتياطات للوقاية من الحشرات، ومنعها من دخول منازلهم، ومن هذه الاحتياطات:

    تفقّد المنزل من الخارج: فالعمل على الوقاية من الحشرات يبدأ من الخارج، فيجب إغلاق الشقوق والفتحات الصغيرة التي من الممكن أن تتجمع فيها الحشرات أو تدخل من خلالها إلى المنزل، وإبعاد النفايات وأكوام الحطب عن المنزل.
    المحافظة على نظافة المنزل: إنّ للمحافظة على نظافة المنزل دورًا كبيرًا في الوقاية من الحشرات، وخاصّة نظافة المطبخ، والتخلّص من القمامة باستمرار، والمحافظة على ترتيب المنزل، إذ من الممكن أن يتجمع البق في أماكن الفوضى كأكوام المجلات والصناديق.
