I love to win things.Any little old thing really. I got so totally stoked when Kevin and I won a $10 gift card to Pizza Hut last summer.I was excited to hear my number called at the family camp softball game.I won a rain poncho.And I was still excited.Just because I won.Today I want to […]

It’s that time again.And I’m totally pumped.Check out the whole “Not Me! Monday” gang over at My Charming Kids.And now, won’t you please join me on a journey of brutal honesty on this bright sunny Monday? I would never accept a challenge to memorize I Corinthians 1.No!

Chocolate Chip & Pretzel Cookie Bars

She has some amazing photographs and even better recipes and I never doubted that anything I tried by her recommendation would not fail to impress.

The One with the Working Stove
I can hardly decide what to write about first.So many fantastic things in so little time.I will attempt to start at the beginning.I’ve heard it’s a very good place to start.

Soft No-Roll Sugar Cookies
Once again, the Betty Crocker Cookbook has passed with flying colors. I have made cut out sugar cookies many times but never an unfrosted round simple sugar cookie such as this. I love this recipe!

The One with the Deals
VBS ended on a high note.I was delighted and a bit surprised to discover how easily I fit into the “Bible teacher” mold.It required enthusiasm. Not sure where I mustered it, but it was good stuff.It required a full comprehension of the Bible stories. Check.Thanks to years of Sunday School.VBS.Christian school.SAU religion courses. I’m pretty […]
