Ahh, yes. It’s Monday. Oddly enough, my weeks are less stressful/busy than my weekends. So I kind of look forward to Mondays. Except that my husband isn’t home. Cause I miss him. But I get more stuff done when I’m alone. So that’s a plus. Stuff like admitting the truth about my perfect looking lifestyle. […]
Banana Cream Pie
Today is our Pastor’s birthday so I got some great dessert ideas from his wife. Banana cream pie made the list and since this is another dessert I hadn’t tried my hand at before (and I had a crust in the freezer) I figured “why not”? I used Betty Crocker’s recipe for the filling and […]

The One with Fall
I love fall. I think it might be my favorite season. There’s just something perfectly unique about autumn. Maybe it’s because I’m a November baby. I’ve always been quite partial to the months leading up to “my” day. (By the way, isn’t it true that the whole world stops to celebrate me?) In any case, […]
The One with the Phone Call(s)
I’m not sure how this happened. Or when. When did I fall in love with my job? With teenagers? With the soul-searching, heart breaking work known as the ministry of Jesus Christ? It’s hard for me to comprehend. I worked with teens before. When I was a teenager myself, I was leader. Throughout college I […]
The One with the Monday Confessions
Join me (& MckMama) in my quest for brutal honesty. Or not. You can just laugh. Or shake your head. Whichever. I have perfected my culinary skills. Therefore, I would never misread a recipe. Especially one for simple “fantasy fudge.” Nope, not me. I read thoroughly and follow directions flawlessly every time. I would never […]
The One with the Memory
Five years ago yesterday I was embarking on what would prove to be an unforgettable journey. I was pretty much scared to death. Alone. Nervous. Awkward. Naive. And way over-prepared. It was five years ago yesterday that I met the man I would marry. And the girls who would become lifelong friends. I could never […]
The One with a Food Confession
I need to get this out there. I need you to know. I need you to not laugh. Too hard. Or be disgusted. Give it a chance. I did. Kevin refuses. He is totally missing out. One of my favorite meals is a gluten free alternative to a Rachael Ray sammy. (Sammy=slang for sandwich.) She […]
Polenta Pizza
This specific recipe was found on another favorite foodie site: BrownEyedBaker. I fell in love with the idea of a (simple!) gluten free alternative to a Friday night favorite. And knowing Kevin has a bit of an obsession with cornmeal (which is the base for polenta), I figured there was nothing to lose. As predicted, […]
