In seeking the Lord these past few weeks, I’ve felt moved to beseech him to go before us–in all things. God has set out our path in front of us as only the Almighty could. Puzzle pieces falling together, forming a picturesque image of where He is leading us. Just as worry seeps in about […]
The One with the Teens Loving Jesus
Want to know the highlight from my week with our teens at Family Camp? The sunshine in my days? The time that made my heart happy? Every morning, after most of the teens had spent an early morning hour chatting and laughing and enjoying a bowl of cereal, it was time for personal quiet times. […]

The One with Family Camp Photos
For the past 8 days and 7 nights, we have been at Somerset Beach Campground for our church conference’s Family Camp. It’s quite the epic experience that we plan on being a part of for years to come. Having been on many sides of Family Camp, we have an unique perspective of the week+ long […]
Candy Bar Cookies
I wanted to make cookies to thank our awesome neighbors for taking care of our cats every time we leave town. It’s a blessing to know we’re leaving our animals in such good hands. As I started brainstorming cookie ideas, I spotted the Snickers Bar staring at me from the refrigerator door. Hmm. Snickers in […]

The One with the Camp Report
We’ve had absolutely gorgeous weather! Fire-cooked pizza sandwiches are a big hit. Deer flies love me. I hate (hate HATE) Deer Flies. I would officially declare myself a youth worker and not-so-much a children’s worker. Me + coming up with kids games = fail. Having my mom out at camp with us is super fun. […]
Pico de Gallo {Fresh Salsa}
We’re smack dab in the middle of homegrown tomato season, and I would highly encourage you to make your own salsa. Fresh salsa from fresh tomatoes, fresh jalapenos, fresh onions, fresh garlic, fresh cilantro, and fresh lime juice is on a level of un-paralled awesomeness. So bust out your food processor (or get REALLY good at finely […]
The One with the Serious Campers
Packing for a camping trip takes a lot of preparation, planning, and forethought. Packing for an 8 day camping trip with 15 teenagers and 5 adults is just crazy talk. But ladies and gentlemen, that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. For the past many months I’ve been keeping track of notes and thoughts on how to […]
Sausage, Peppers & Potatoes (Slow Cooker)
In search a a perfect quick and delicious after-church meal, I came up with this tasty combination. Potatoes, sausage and peppers (with onions and garlic of course!) is one of our favorite combinations. Traditionally I cook up the trio in a large skillet. In the name of efficiency, I opted to give the crockpot a […]
