  This might be one of my new favorite things. And because it’s so great, I wrote a pretty awesome review on Amazon already. I wrote an awesome review, because I’ve read an awesome book… which was entirely deserving of my highest possible accolades. My boys’ reviews go something like this… “Please just ONE more [...]

The Campout Party

May 2, 2013

My son turned 7 on Monday.  I’m not sure when or how 7 years just passed, but somehow they have. And, the pictures of that baby beside the doorway above have evolved into a really handsome, clever, and spunky young boy. I’ve had some “moments” this week…he’s 7, this year we’ll celebrate our 10th wedding [...]

Renovations…Kitchen Love!

April 15, 2013

Our house didn’t sell.  Which is ok really.  In the past week however, after almost 2 months of silence, I’ve had 6 calls to show our house.  It’s off the market now though since another neighbor is buying the house we’d wanted just 2 doors down.  I’m not moving just to move!  We love our [...]

Stains…Adventures in Egg Dying

March 25, 2013

Seriously, isn’t that precious?  Look at my cute kids happily concentrating on decorating Easter eggs.  The time-honored tradition that has absolutely nothing to do with the true celebration of this season, but we participate nonetheless.  It’s a delightful craft filled with joy and creativity.

A Heavenly Carnival…

March 1, 2013

My dear friend, Melissa, went to be with Jesus yesterday. Brokenhearted doesn’t really begin to touch the way we’ve all been feeling. Our group of friends has fought with her for nearing 2 years now.  We’ve watched children, and taken meals.  We’ve been on our knees… praying and texting scriptures with truth and encouragement between us [...]

While We Breathe, We Hope…

February 25, 2013

My friend Katie always says, “While we breathe, we hope.” So that’s what I’ve been doing around here lately…breathing…and hoping.  And all of that breathing and hoping is the reason that I’ve been quiet around these parts. After returning home from Bangladesh, I was surprised that it took me almost 2 full weeks to really [...]
