Where Passion & Purpose Collide
My husband is our hero. In many more ways than the obvious. There is no doubt, I’m blessed beyond belief to be married to a kick-butt guy who rocks my world on a daily basis, bakes ridiculously good bread and provides a near-constant flow of delicious hot beverages…but his profession most certainly complicates life a little. My hubby has never… Read More
It has only been a million years since I blogged anything deep or thought-provoking, and today’s post won’t do anything for the average depth of post {re: shallow}, because what lies below is a compilation of random, completely disconnected snippets to give you a nutshell glimpse, albeit a substantial nutshell, of what’s been going on in our crazy little world… Read More
We have about 25 women who have joined forces to encourage each other {via a facebook group} as we work to cut refined sugars out of our diets in 2013. And it’s awesome! The journey is always more fun together. The shared wisdom, chin-lifting & recipe ideas are just beginning to take off and I’m excited to see how we’ll… Read More
How on earth is it possible that it’s November 2012 already? Next month is Christmas, ya’ll! Yay and… yikes. I realize I may be a little slow on the uptake here, but weren’t we just getting all giddy {and awkwardly terrified} by the notion of a new millennium around the corner? Has it really been 13 years already? Gosh, it’s… Read More
I’m tickled pink to be sharing my messy story of redemption with another group of women this weekend. I love, love, LOVE sharing my heart…my brokenness…His goodness with others who ache to know their Creator hasn’t abandoned them, that He is intricately involved in the details of their lives – even if behind the scenes, that He is big enough… Read More
I stumbled upon a recipe for homemade laundry detergent back in 2010, made it, used it up and didn’t remake it. Not because it wasn’t cheap, and not because making my own laundry detergent didn’t make me feel like I should wear some sort of a cape, but because I missed really good smelling clothes. And the stain-fighting power of… Read More
While we’re still pretty new at this whole “kids in school” thing, I’ve already noticed a few things that make all the difference in how smoothly {and calmly…and happily} our mornings flow. Thought you might want to know. So here we go. Yo yo!
We’ve been a busy bunch around here over the past two weeks! Between family festivities, the dynamic food-friends-fun combination, weeding and watering our growing veggie garden, multiple dips in the lake, our first camping trip, a week of recovery from laser eye surgery, and far too many trips to the Whippy Dip to mention, I haven’t had a moment to… Read More
Well, my friends, my 31 days are officially up tomorrow…and at this point I’ve made it through 27 of the 31 “spaces”. While the perfectionist in me is tempted to be disappointed, the considerably larger portion of me that has grown to be more realistic amidst the chaos of parenting… is quite thrilled, actually. {knuckle bumps} While there is… Read More
Our wonderful neighbors spent the entire day here on Saturday with us; weeding, digging, transplanting & sowing. It was a stunningly warm day and much was accomplished in the garden. Have I mentioned yet that we have the coolest neighbors in the history of ever? While we played for hours in the dirt, our kids entertained themselves beautifully, shifting seamlessly… Read More
Mercy, it’s been a wild week. Wild and fabulous. Dish: My hubby and I recorded a little video interview of ourselves for something ridiculously cool that we’re applying for. It was fun. And awkward. And sweet. I’d tell you about it, but then I’d have to kill you. Deadly: I poisoned my entire family the day before Easter. Just doing… Read More
I decided {seeing I’ve been such a sporadic dreadful blogger lately} that instead of attempting to make excuses for why I haven’t written much lately, I’d simply give you a glimpse of what we’ve been up to lately by showing you some rather unimpressive photos from my phone. Sounds deliciously personal, doesn’t it? Here we go! First series of shots… Read More
