ABOUT

Hi. I'm Trish. I love blogging on Blogger. And I enjoy helping other women whose interests are similar to mine. Blogging is just the tip of the iceberg. I also write self-help books, I transcribe in different niches, and I enjoy crafting and reading. 

I make sure to spend quality time with my family along this journey. In particular, we eat dinner together and have a family Bible study almost every night. And we also watch a few old movies throughout the week as we wind down before bedtime. Sometimes we'll even find time to play a fun game of cornhole.

Joy is what I'm always seeking. I hope you will find a little bit of that here on your visit. Simply Making Life was started in April 2020 at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. At that time, I thought women could use a little good news along the way. And it has since turned into a passion to help women who are looking for ways to simplify their lives regardless of the season of their lives they're in. It's better than worrying about what to do next, right?

Ladies, if you enjoy this blog, please tell your friends about it. My goal is to spread as many smiles around the world as possible. Whether you need housework tips or need someone to transcribe for you, I want to help you. Thanks for dropping by today.

Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret . I recently bought a new four-pack of  Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore. As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per r...

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...
