This was the first time I had attempted a “Chex Mix” and I chose two varieties–cinnamon and barbeque. I checked out a variety of recipes on the Chex website and came to the conclusion that I should just throw a few of my favorite ingredients in a bowl and call it good. :) This mixture is […]
The One with Top Ten Things I Love about…
The Office. Currently our favorite tv show. We enjoy dvd marathons and this is one show I really miss when it’s not around. Here’s why. 1. There’s something wonderful about Michael Scott. Mostly the fact that he’s the worst boss ever, and I absolutely can not stand him. 2. Multiple people have randomly pointed out […]
The One with the Weekend Goodness
A lovely weekend was experienced by yours truly. Friday, Husband got home early thanks to the school’s pep rally. I always love when he comes home to me. We spent a few hours chilling and then got ready to meet his family at Ruby Tuesday in honor of my early birthday celebration. YUM. I had […]
I need to remember this blog title…
…because often enough I try to just let Jesus come to me. I sit in church on Sunday mornings, I play bass guitar, I baptise (which was awesome…Christopher Brian is now a baptized member of our church family!), and I listen to one of our teens preach the Sunday morning sermon…I spend a relaxing afternoon […]
Philippians 2: unity in the Church
First, I apologize for my GEPC negligence. I was sick this week. But also just lazy. Neither are really good excuses. I’ve missed it. Philippians 2 is one of my favorite chapters ever–verses 6-11 in particular. Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped; 7 but […]
That little two year old in your ear…
You know, the flu did something to me this week. It gave me time. I had a ton of time to sit around, lay on the couch and lie there. The first day this was great, we caught up on some TV we’d been meaning to watch, maybe a movie. Then day two…and day three…it […]
The One with the Phases of Home Keeping
I have reclaimed my house! It needed to be done, folks. After almost a week of snotty tissues laying here and there, sneezes spreading germs for miles, coughs ensuring that the world will share in your pain, my house needed a “disinfect and more” treatment. (Yes, I realize I’m referring to this home as “my” […]
Slow Cooked Vegetable Pork Roast
This is one of the easiest meals to put together and by the end of its cooking time it’s completely irresistible. I’m not a huge meat eater, but I was in love with this. Kevin went back for seconds and thirds–which only happens if he’s totally crazy about the meal. Slow Cooker Vegetable Pork Roast serves 4 […]
Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti
Biscotti are a twice-baked Italian cookie that are just begging to be enjoyed by dunking into your favorite hot beverage. I grew up around these–being from an Italian family. My grandma would always have these hard cookies around to eat with her cup of tea. I never really understood their appeal back then. But now? […]
The Washington Monument
Something has been bugging me lately…I’ve been hearing quite a few people ask me why God allows bad things to happen. How in the world can an all-powerful God who loves us allow life to be such crap sometimes? (no, this isn’t brought on by my recent bout with flu, but it’s hardly an antithesis) […]
