Fiesta or Siesta :: 18/52
I have been a bit absent from blog-land this week. I didn’t even post on Wednesday – I don’t know if that has ever happened since I’ve started blogging! Remember last week when I told you I had some sort of nasty sickness? Well, it never left. I thought it was on its way out, but…

Make a Miracle
“And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:13-14 I want to tell you about a little…

Ever seen one of those shows on TV where awesome design artists come into a house, discover what the homeowners want, and then transform the home in 24 hours? It’s cool, isn’t it? I love seeing the before & after pictures. I love watching the homeowners’ faces as they see their room transformed into something…

Homemade Taco Seasoning
We love Mexican food at our house! Hot & spicy is our thing. Even my 2 year old likes salsa. Major win. I used to pick up quite a few taco seasoning packets when I went grocery shopping. Then one day, I was making taco meat for some friends and realized I had no taco…

Sedum Rubrotinctum
Last week, I took my kids to Lowe’s. I must start early if I want home improvement stores to be one of their favorite places on earth. We picked up a few of these guys: These are my first succulents ever! Can you believe it? After Nester and Sherry posted about their succulents, I began…

Sacrifice :: 15/52 + Book Winner
Sacrifice. What comes to your mind when you hear this word? According to Merriam-Webster, sacrifice can be defined as the “destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else.” Many things come to my mind when I think of this word. That’s because there are many people who have sacrificed for me. Jesus sacrificed His…

Green + Red = Healthy
I bet you never learned that one in math class, did you? Allow me to explain: Green. Red. Put them together. Add a little of this. And there you have it, my friends. Green + Red = Healthy. I decided to make a homemade strawberry poppyseed dressing. I did not use a recipe. It turned…

Easter Hoppenings
I hope you caught my pun in the title of this post. I love a good, corny pun. Here’s an update of our Easter weekend in pics. I love a good sugar cookie recipe. But sometimes you just need to start with a mix. True that. And you can’t have good sugar cookie fun without…

Meditating on the Gospel
Today is Good Friday. While for some, that may just be a meaningless event pre-written on the calendar, it is much more to me. This weekend defines the existence of my entire life. For it is on Good Friday that I remember the truth of my total depravity: “And you were dead in the trespasses and…

Foolin’ Around :: 14/52
The other day, my little girl was eating lunch. Part of her lunch consisted of raw spinach leaves. Yep – I’m one of those moms. She was doing pretty well with them until she noticed a brightly wrapped object on the counter (AKA: a Godiva gem). “What’s that?” “Ohhhh…just something.” “Chocolate?” {how does she know things…

In case you’re still looking for some ideas of food to serve on Easter, I’ve gotcha covered. Food is certainly not the most important part of Easter. Not by a long shot. However, I love to have special foods to celebrate special days. It just makes it more … {can I say it again?} special.…

Details :: 13/52
Details. Life is full of them. And yet they’re easy to miss. Especially when you have kids. My little girl has a new favorite game. It’s called “hide & seek.” She loves to play it with her Daddy, Mommy & BearBear. I’ve also heard her trying to play it with her 5 month old brother.…
