My dear friend Kristi bought me a devotion book called Daily Strength for Daily Needs by Mary W. Tileston. It has been refreshing, challenging, and inspiring. It has scripture and quotes from different people in it. I wanted to share today’s entry. I’d love your thoughts too. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He [...]

What a Week
Posted in Uncategorized on January 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
We worked like crazy around here this weekend and I’m exhausted. My family was so helpful and there are many more functional things around here now because of them. We painted our bedroom because I love a warm, relaxing, stress free environment in there and yellow wasn’t cutting it for me. I love it, but [...]
Home Sweet Home

I am soaking in every glorious ray of sunshine. It’s beautiful and I love that our house has so many windows that allow us to enjoy it to it’s fullest. We have some yard work to do (maybe even this weekend if the weather stays this lovely) but here’s a quick glimpse of Jenna on [...]
“Just Call Me Danger”

So I’m afraid that’s what Isaac would say if he had words right now, “Just call me danger.” He is all boy and if anyone says that boys are girls aren’t all that different I would have to beg to differ. Isaac and Jenna couldn’t be more different. Although Isaac is as sweet as can [...]

Tonight while I was getting gas I noticed a little delicatessen (Edelweiss Sausage Company & Delicatessen) around the corner. Since we’re new to the neighborhood I decided to take the kids in and have a look around. Let me just say that this was one of the highlights of the week. I know, a trip [...]
Humbled and Blessed

The past 6 months have been challenging in so many ways. Each day has a new challenge or unexpected twist now doesn’t it? But along with those challenges has been a resounding theme of God’s grace, His provision, His care; for me personally and for our family. We have been blown away by how God [...]
Our Little Yellow Bungalow

I’m kicked back on my couch watching American Idol in our new home that we like to call the little yellow bungalow (because it is indeed yellow, on the inside and out. It’s a good yellow though, that picture below isn’t the greatest representation.). There are still many things to be unpacked but I’m sooooooo [...]
We’re Moving!!!

The time has come my friends, we are moving tomorrow morning!! It’s kind of funny because I don’t remember a time when we’ve moved that it didn’t snow. So as if God were saying now is the time, it’s been snowing this week. Perfect. We signed our papers today, got keys and will be moving [...]
Best Pie Crust Ever

One of my favorite meals is Chicken Pot Pie and Cornbread. They are totally comfort food and usually what I take to friends if they need a meal. I decided to try a new pie crust recipe because my friend Sam said it was amazing. And oh my, it was. Anything with that much butter [...]
Today and Teachable (Funny) Moments

I didn’t grow up in the south where much of the racial segregation took place in our history between African Americans and white Americans. But I did grow up in a small town that is VERY white and racism was still very much alive. Now having a son that is a quarter African American today [...]
