Top {TEN} Things I’m *Super* Excited About (or, to be grammatically correct–“Top ten things about which I’m super excited.” You’re welcome.) 1} getting to go running this morning. 5 miles in the brisk winter air with my awesome new cold gear Under Armour is pretty much awesome. 2} seeing my face on the home page of […]
The One with a Teensy Bit of Foodie Joy
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 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 the Bountiful Baskets
Today is just one of those days when I have so much on my mind, I can’t seem to settle on just one topic to expound upon. My thoughts are forming a gigantic tangled web and if I don’t start talking, I might just explode, but yet I have no clue where to begin. Can anyone […]
The One with an Appreciation of the Crispness of Fall
Today I am thankful for… …the chill in the air, the smell of fallen leaves, the sunny blue sky mixed with deep blue weather-filled clouds. …pounds and pounds of Empire apples for only $0.39 a pound. My kitchen is overflowing with apples and I love it. …the opportunity to help my sister build an awesome […]
The One with a Candy Corn Confession
Are you a fan of candy corn? It seems to be one of those divisive foods people love or hate. You know, along with Bleu Cheese dressing and Cilantro. I have a few specific thoughts concerning this autumnal sugary snack. source First of all, I like my candy corn to be soft and chewy, not hard […]
The One with a Grilling Plea
We love to grill. Ok, ok. My husband loves to grill. I love to eat things that have been grilled. Every time I try to use the grill, I almost burn my eyebrows right off my face. No joke. Just ask the teens we took camping this summer. I started that mini propane grill many times, and […]
The One with “Mastering” a Great Day
What a fantastic day! It was just one of those all-too-rare days when my mood was good and my spirits were high for every moment of it. Even the getting-up-at-6am-on-a-Saturday didn’t deter me (despite the struggle to fall asleep the night before). Besides the great mood, it was the first Bible Quiz of new school year–over Hebrews and […]
The One with Beans Coming Out My Ears
I have been going a hundred miles per hour in 10 different directions lately–but loving all of it! I’m not usually a fan of this-is-what-I’ve-been-doing-in-the-last-48-hours type of posts, but this is good stuff that I want to remember and I’m a little impressed at how much I’ve been accomplishing. tee hee. Sunday was busy, busy, but beautiful! We […]
