Grace at Home No. 328

Y'all, it's the last day of January, 2019. I can hardly believe it--the new year is certainly off to a quick start, isn't it?

As of today, my year is off to a good start, too. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you might have already seen that the manuscript for my book, Mythical Me: Finding Freedom from Constant Comparison, has made its way through two revisions and has now been approved by my editor at InterVarsity Press! I'm so grateful. Lord willing, the book will come out in late October of this year. It's been a long journey, and I'm thrilled to have made it this far.

Now to see what y'all have been up to! Here are some links from last week's Grace at Home party that caught my eye.

Want to see a wonderful kitchen renovation? Visit Ashley at Cherished Bliss--you'll be blown away!

If you're hosting a Super Bowl party, you'll be tickled to get these free printables from Leslie at From Playdates to Parties.

I'm always looking for new dinner ideas; are you? I'd like to try these Oven-Baked Calamari from Kristin at Dizzy, Busy, and Hungry.

And if your soul is just in need of an inspiring story, you're going to love this one from Pam at Everyday Living. Trust me, you'll be so glad you read this.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the last party!  I'm so grateful for each person who links up.
