Top Ten Ways I Got a Glimpse into My Future This morning was just dandy–everything going according to plan my desire. Or not! The first two hours of my day gave me a vision of what the rest of my life will be like–you know, once my days are filled with our offspring throwing […]
Apple Cinnamon Bread
I need you to know I have a seriously love for all things apple cinnamon–candles, lotions, oatmeal, breads. This recipe fits perfectly into my idea of an amazing apple-cinnamon combination. I’m so glad I saw the recipe appear on both twopeasandtheirpod.com and browneyedbaker.com. I knew that meant it was a winner. I highly recommend you make this […]
The One with the Beauty Inspiration
I have so many beautiful friends. For real–these girls are drop dead gorgeous and their inner lives shine the same light. I am blessed. One woman who inspires beauty in my life is Brooke. photo by studio bree. I met this gorgeous girl when we moved in across the hall from each other our freshmen […]
The One with that’s Uniquely Me
I pray many of you were encouraged by the words Jesus has spoken into my life concerning the beauty of a woman. My heart’s desire is to learn how to fully embrace the beauty God has created in my life and to help all women experience that same freedom. Part of this process, I believe, […]
Crunchy Almond Granola
I love granola–particularly the homemade variety. You can pick and choose the perfect ingredients for your granola, controlling the amount of sugar as you go. The potential mix-ins for granola are almost limitless–chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, other dried fruits, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, et cetera. So good. I have made Peanut Butter Banana Granola and […]
The One with the Beauty of a Woman
Jesus says, “I created you. I had a plan and a purpose for you life even before you were a dream in your parents’ subconscious. You are beautiful. You are wonderfully made. I knit you together, stitch by stitch, placing every limb, every bone, every organ, exactly where I wanted them. I make no mistakes. […]
Garlic Hummus
Snacks can’t get any better than hummus and freshly sliced vegetables. Hummus is a beautiful Middle-eastern creation that combines chick peas with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini (sesame seeds paste). It is chock full of fiber and protein–keeping you full and satisfied for a long time without leaving you any guilt whatsoever. I can whip […]
The One with the New Living Room
I have to confess–I’ve always been a “rearranger.” Growing up I moved everything around in my bedroom every 3 or 4 months. (Until I rearranged it in such a way, that all of the other possibilities were completely overruled by the placement of the oversized dresser. It was impossible to move things around after that. I […]
The One with the OPPOSITE Sexes
Today, I would like to share a little word of encouragement: It’s ok to be different from your spouse. Every form of media seems to have something to say about this topic of relationship compatibility. (Which, oddly enough, is easily mistyped to form “comBatability.”) We hear messages about what type of person you should marry […]
Double Chocolate Coffee Cookies
I have just recently developed a love for coffee. I’ve enjoyed drinking it occasionally for the last few years, but this past week coffee has played a key part in my happiness. :) With that in mind, I bring you to Monday evening. I was wanting to make a special batch of cookies for my friends at Somerset who […]
