I spy a little boy's hand, swiping some bacon. Thanks to my backyard hobby farmer & the amazing God we serve, our refrigerator has been filled with an over abundance of GREEN BEANS! To put this in perspective, I had a whole shelf dedicated to only gallon Ziploc bags that were stuffed full ...
Moment by Moment
This morning at breakfast I met an elderly woman who mentioned she lost her adult son to a heart attack. She said she loved him and was glad for the time she had with him, even though it was so hard losing him. Yesterday I met a woman at the park whose husband passed away a year ago. The cause? ...
Where Can I Improve?
When I did the Passion Pursuit Bible Study I asked my husband a hard question. It was “Where do you think I need to improve, or what can I do to be better for you?” Now due to the nature of the study, you may be expecting something kinky. So before we go any further- I assure you, this is PG! ...
Do Better. Be Better.
Do Better. Be Better. A friend mentioned this theory that we are all great at two things. The problem is that we can't do both of those things well at the same time. For me, one of the things I'm good at is blogging. The other is being a mom. Right now as I'm trying to write this post in bed ...
An Open Letter To My Adventure Boy, As He’s Turning 8!
Dear Buddy, Just a couple more sleeps and you’ll be 8 years old. 8! I remember when I was pregnant with you, and your daddy and I went to the gender ultrasound. When the ultrasound tech told us you were a boy, we cried tears of happiness. Then we called to tell your great grandpa, Carl (dad‘s ...
For Real Red Devils Food Cake
I whipped up this 'tried and true' recipe last week for a friend's birthday. It was in a binder I filled with my grandma Edna's recipes. After the cake cooled I used a glass to cut the cake into circles and stuffed it in the bottom of a plastic cup. My hubby stepped in to help out while I made ...
Counting Blessings July 31st 2015
I have so many blessings to count tonight. So many meaningful conversations, glimpses of joy despite my sadness, good food, smiles from 20+ happy story hour kids, S'mores around the fire pit with the family + Mr. Awesome's dad. The best of all? When my tween says "mom, I love just hangin' out ...
Sexual Intimacy… On a Shelf In The Church Library.
I was asked to type up a book review of Pulling Back the Shades for my Church Library. It's been about 6 months since I've talked about PBTS on my blog, plus I don't even know if my review will be approved for the church newspaper, so I thought I'd share my little review here with all of ...
Product Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs
We got struck by lightening this week which means I can't use my regular computer. booo. That means this review is not as thorough as I'd like it to be and I have way more pictures and a video I'd like to include, but I just can't get to them right now. Ready for it? So I wasn't thrilled at ...
Be Kind
While shopping tonight I met a woman who just lost her mother-in-law and is preparing for the funeral next week. I didn't ask for her name, but I talked with her, hugged her, and we parted ways. That was it. Hearing her story made me lose it; I mean I held my crap together as long as I could, but ...
