In my almost daily perusal of Tasty Kitchen’s website, I was shocked to see this on their main page– eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I haven’t been so thrilled in who knows how long! Yep, that’s right. I guess my little ol’ waffle recipe has been climbing its way to the top of the Tasty Kitchen recipe collection. I couldn’t believe my […]
The One with the First Crochet Project
When Kevin’s family visited us in October, Mom helped me correct my crochet styles and helped give me confidence to read a pattern. I have been “crocheting” for years, since freshman year of college when every girl on my floor was yarning it up during movies and slow Saturdays. But I never made anything other […]
The One with a Little Thing
We’ve had a long, busy, tiring weekend. I’m going to bed now. But can I just say that when I got back from worship practice tonight, I found my husband had done all the dishes. He rocks. Oh, and last night, I got home from our church’s family movie night and another worship practice for […]
The One with the Epic Trip to My Parents’
This year was one of the most relaxed Thanksgivings of all time. At least the Thanksgiving day was relaxing. We started our holiday at 7am Wednesday morning. With the car loaded with pies and bags of who knows what, we hit the road. I drove the first 4 hours while Kevin read his library book on […]
The One with Engagement Photos
The start of our Thanksgiving break included our very first solo photography gig (my first gig ever was Elise’s wedding, remember?). Our good friends, Josh & Amanda, called us a few weeks ago with a request to take their engagement pictures. We were totally honored (not to mention super thrilled) to oblige. The honest truth is we are […]

The One with the Greatest Cause for Thanksgiving
On Sunday my husband preached a sermon that was powerfully applicable during this season of thanks. He walked the congregation through the triumphs and failures of the apostle Peter. This man dropped everything to follow Jesus. He believed Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, right from the beginning and was blessed by Jesus […]
The One with My Bday Day
My birthday was just want I needed. Perfect. Friday night, I had a living room overflowing with high school girls–giggling, sharing, blushing, nail painting, eating, relaxing. It was wonderful. And to top it all off, right as I brought out the ice cream for our sundae bar, the whole room exploded with the happy birthday […]

The One Where She Misses
I would just like to say that I’m really missing my mom & dad. Here’s the thing–I’ve lived far away from them for years and years now. So it’s not that I’m homesick. It’s the fact that they’ve been on this experience-of-a-lifetime cruise to the Holy Land of Israel for the past two weeks. I am […]
