I’m not gonna lie. This hasn’t been a shining week in our household. Shocker, we’re not perfect. Honestly, though, most of the issues have been rooted in my deep-down struggles–struggles I didn’t even know I was having. And when one person is dealing with personal trials, problems overflow onto your spouse. Am I right? I was […]
The One to the Cross
[originally posted on wechasetheson.blogspot.com] Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and […]
On Leading to the Cross
Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and wear pretty dresses. Those […]
The One with My Key Habits
My mom commented on my salsa-losing-story. She seems delighted that I’ve joined the ranks of forgetfulness and sends her condolences that I’m becoming more like her everyday. :) It made me smile and reminded me of yet another “moment” of mine. On Friday morning, I was busy baking a batch of pizzelles to fill my first […]
The One with the Missing Salsa
I thought I was going crazy. It was Tuesday night, and Kevin had left for his final class of Free Methodist History and Polity. (woot.) I chopped up some veggies, shredded some cheese, heated up some black beans, and created a lovely dinner plate for myself. Gathering my quesadilla and tortilla chips, I realized I […]
The One with the Food Features
You may remember when I officially opened my Adorkable Bakery on Etsy? It’s only been a few weeks, but so far I haven’t had any sales. But what I have had is lots a wonderful support, exposure and features of my delicious cookies and candies. I know that first sale is coming! :) While we were […]
The One with the Library Lovers
My husband and I are well aware of the fact we are dorks. And you know what, we totally embrace that. We love reading, learning, sitting in peace and quiet. Sunday afternoon we proved our dork status once again. The local library we frequent closed down last Spring for building renovations. We were still able to […]
The One with Harry Potter
I’m a late bloomer. At least where fads are concerned. :) Harry Potter books first took my peers by storm in 8th or 9th grade. For the past eleven years, I have firmly opposed even the idea of of reading these widely popular books. I think most of my hesitancy lied in the subject matter. […]
The One with the Thunder
journal entry Monday, April 4th, 2011 Land Between the Lakes–Hillman Ferry Campground It’s raining. Hard. The winds have been whipping since 3am, thunder has been rumbling and occasionally clapping louder than I’m used to, and the rains have come down in sheets loud enough to drown out conversation. It’s to be expected, though. I mean, […]
The One with the 10 in KY
Top Ten Reasons I Am Thankful for Camping on this Beautiful KY Day Wearing 2 long sleeve shirts on, a fleece, and a sweatshirt-vest. I’m gloriously comfortable. Falling asleep reading thanks to the warm sun beating on my face. Eating Raspberry Blueberry Pancakes. They are delish. Finishing a book and starting a new one. Being […]
