homemade bagels
These homemade bagels put store bought ones to shame. Shame, I tell you. I really want to make some more. But seeing as I ate the majority of them last time, I keep resisting the urge. I’ll share the recipe with you on Wednesday. Until then…dream of carbs, my friends.

enjoy these years
Last week, my kids and I visited a sweet couple in our church. We filled the crockpot with chili, brought a bag of books, and a million other accessories such as sour cream + cheese, diapers + wipes, pants + underwear {for my potty-training 2 year old}, and the all important blankie for Miles. Say…

needy.
Needy: being in want. I’ve been feeling pretty needy lately. Not ‘needy’ in a financial or physical sense. I mean, I recognize I’m not the wealthiest person in the world and my body is falling apart. But lately, I’ve been noticing my needs in other areas. Especially spiritual areas. Like just this week, when I…

a little favor
just a little favor on this Friday, the 7th of March in the year 2014. I decided to enter this contest: There are some seriously a.ma.zing. projects and contestants over there. And I thought I might not even enter. But then I figured, “hey, it never hurts to try.” So I took the plunge and…

March Goals 2014
I have a love/hate relationship with these monthly goal check-ups. I love them because they keep me accountable. I mean, if I’m gonna put my goals out there for you to read, I really don’t want to come back a month later and be like, “nope. didn’t do ’em. i’m a failure.” Here are my…

the future is bright
I like to worry. It gives me a feeling of control – kinda like if I’ve at least thought of every possibility under the sun, then at least I won’t be taken by surprise. Take a couple weeks ago, for example: My husband came home sick. For days, he had headaches, nausea, and a high fever.…

Pallet Art Tutorial
Approximately 6 months ago, my husband came home with a surprise for me. Namely, these pallets: I was so thrilled that I actually told you all about it here. And I also told you about some free paint from Lowe’s & random 50 cent boards I bought at Ikea. I had no idea what I…

Pinterest Scarf Holder {& why sometimes you should not DIY}
I’m all about a good do-it-yourself project. And if it adds organization to my life? BRING. IT. ON. So when I saw this image on pinterest, I was like, “Yes! I need this in my life!” So I went to the store, bought a pack of shower curtain rings and set up my own personal…
