Who Am I? :: Identity Crisis
Who am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here? What makes me unique? These are questions everyone faces – they are often first faced during the teen years, but can present themselves again at different times through our lives – especially during crises. As a pastor’s wife, I find it easy to use…

Live Now. Blog Later.
To say blogging is just writing is like saying cooking is just mac&cheese. It’s not. I mean, blogging is writing. And cooking is mac&cheese. But there’s so much more. Once you add picture taking and editing, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Pinterest – just to name a few), networking with other bloggers and potential…

Fit to a “T”
Remember last week when I revealed my Uno, Dos, Tres shelves? One of my goals for the shelving was to make it unique. I didn’t want to just put a bunch of pictures up there because I already have a bunch of pictures hanging on my gallery wall. (the one I’ve never shown you. whoops.)…

How to Peel a Perfect Kiwi
Oh yes, it’s true. Perhaps it’s because my birthday was yesterday. Maybe I’m reaching a new era of confidence. I don’t think so. Nevertheless, a couple weeks ago when I was making fruit pizza, I needed to peel quite a few kiwis. Now, in the past, I’ve always used a knife to peel off strips…

Oh, How I Love Gifts (CLOSED)
Oh yes, it’s true. Tomorrow is my birthday. And I now give you permission to sing me a small (or large) birthday song. I’ve been prepping Anna Grace for my upcoming birthday since last week. I have her practice singing “Happy Birthday” to me. She’s getting to be pretty good at it. And, about those…

The Prayer Bucket :: Teaching Your Child to Pray
When Christmas time rolls around, we get a bunch of Christmas cards. My fave ones are always the photo cards. I love seeing how people have changed since last year and getting a little glimpse into the family’s life. But what do you do with all the cards once January comes? I used to feel…

Fruity Pizza
What do you think about this? O my. Yes, it was tasty. I do love pizza – last week we had pizza for dinner (homemade crust topped with garlic white sauce, chicken, olives, mozzarella & oregano) and then this fruit pizza for dessert. One can never eat too much pizza. Try this recipe and I’ll prove it…

Uno, Dos, Tres
Remember the post where I shared the 2 Most Important Decorating Rules? If you don’t, you should go ahead and check it out. Some of the comments are gold. In that post, I showed you this shelf that currently resides in my living room: Well, folks, the time has arrived. I have finally added a…

Shrimp & Avocado Salad
How many of you like using your oven in the summer? Not me! I don’ t like being hot unless there’s a big body of water nearby. That’s one of the reasons I love this salad. It qualifies as a good meal for my hubby because there’s meat on it. But it’s a good meal…

Water
I’ve fallen off the P52 photo challenge boat. I thought about letting go and just drowning. Or maybe even swimming to see if I could find another boat. But then I decided to climb back aboard. Linking up at Kent Weakley’s place. If you like to take pics, you should come join me on the…

Happier than Ever
A wedding day is the happiest day for any girl, right? 4 years ago today, I was getting ready to marry Jonathan. And I was happy. Very happy, in fact. But I had no idea how good things would get. To my sweetheart: I know you better… I respect you more… I love you deeper……
