“Don’t Let Go”
This past weekend, my hubby and I took our senior high teens on a rafting trip in West Virginia. It was definitely a great time! (Well, actually, the river manager didn’t want me to go rafting since I’m 34 weeks pregnant. But I had a great time with the teens before and after the rafting…

Brownie-Cookie Bars
I think I’ve mentioned before that my hubby is a youth pastor? Last week we had the kick-off for our Wednesday night youth group. We had planned to have individual bags of chips for a snack. But I randomly offered to make something sweet in addition to the chips. I should mention that I offered…

Little Bit o’ Happiness
This is a happy fabric, isn’t it? Bright & cheery! I found it in the fabric remnants section and it was definitely calling my name. I don’t know how else to explain it… 😉 I pondered what to do with the fabric…here I am pondering away: It was a labor and sweat-intensive ponder. 🙂 Enter…

A Discovery
Growing up, my Mom made homemade bread. One of my favorite things was when she made cinnamon swirl bread and topped it with a marvelous powdered sugar glaze. Of course, if there was any extra glaze, I always made sure to pile it on more than just the top. Amaaaaazing. This summer, when I was…

Garlic White Sauce
Yesterday I cruelly showed you a picture of some amazing and glorious food without telling you what it was or how you could make it. I hope you’ve forgiven me by now. If not, just wait one moment and you will presently have a reason to forgive and forget. This ring a bell? Ahh…

Magnolia Wreath
I’ve been needing a wreath for my door ever since I moved…um…2 months ago? I had several qualifications: inexpensive (read: less than $5) seasonally appropriate (which is why I haven’t hung my Christmas wreath up…) pretty (basically just something I liked) I saw some really pretty lima bean wreaths around the ‘net, but when I…

31 Days Series
Last month, Nester invited all bloggy people to join her in a “31 Days Series.” Scheduled to start in October, this series could focus on anything…from photography to holidays to imperfection.
