Having my fancy-schmany new iPod touch around has been brilliant for so many reasons. One of my favorite aspects of the iPod is the camera. I can whip it out and start taking pictures galore wherever I am, whomever I’m with. It’s not quite as intimidating as the (always stupendous) Canon Rebel and it’s easier […]
The One {in}RealLife
Today, I wanted to share an awesome opportunity with you from one of my favorite online communities: (in)courage. What is (in)courage? It is a “home for the hearts of women,” the online ministry of DaySpring. Through blog posts from Christian women around the world–regulars and guests alike–women find rest for their weary souls, encouragement for […]
The One with Zumba and Pizza {Not Together}
I am looking forward to… my first Zumba class in the morning. I am so going to embarrass myself. attending said Zumba with one of my amazing teen girls. Is it bad to hope she’s as uncoordinated as I am? :) having my mom visit for a few days. She’s so easy to have around, low […]
Top Ten of the Best Photos from {Snow Camp}
This past weekend, Kevin and I (along with 3 other adult leaders) took 18 high school students to Snow Camp. This particular camp is set up in the Old Western style and has been operating for 40 years. They run 10 or 12 weekend Snow Camps each winter and host 200 students at each camp. Many […]
The One with a Blog {That Matters}
I wanted to share a particularly awesome blog with you all. This one has a purpose, a heavenly one. These girls have been through the trenches of depression and have been given a passion by God to offer comfort to others. They are living out 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. Praise be to the God and Father […]
The One with My Focus {and too much of a good thing}
Lately, I’ve been… …eating far too many Crunchy Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies. …loving every minute of teaching piano lessons. …trying to ignore the little piles of this and that stacking up all over the house. …contenting myself in the stage of life I’m in. …becoming quickly addicted to Grey’s Anatomy. Thank you, Netflix. I watched […]
The One with the Last of 2011
I have had this blank blog post opened all day long. And I got nothing. I was hoping for something inspiring or motivating or thought-provoking. Or, at the very least, witty. But any worth while thoughts seem to be eluding me tonight, the eve a new year. Please know that I tried. I really did. I’m […]
The One with our Christmas Wishes
The One with the Mixed Up Days
Funny story. I was going to write a “Top Ten Tuesday” post. But then I realized it was Wednesday. Why am so confused? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I was sick Sunday and missed church and youth group. That totally throws off my groove, ya know? Although I didn’t go […]
The One with the Loveseat we Love
Welcome to our new living room, complete with our like-new hunter-green loveseat. It fits the former-piano-wall perfectly. Moving the piano into the front room to create a music studio was the best idea we ever had. Now we have a worth-while use for that room (with all of our music and instruments in one place) […]
