I don’t know about you, but I need clear reminders, throughout the day, of how to behave. {Oh, be-have!} Stop laughing. I’m serious. In the midst of upturned bowls of tomato soup, leaky diapers, sassy ‘tudes and unfinished adult conversations…I need to be reminded how to love well. With patience, compassion, kindness, grace, hope…and perseverance. […]
At The Well: Guest Post {plus August Desktop Wallpaper}
Do the words ‘weary’ and ‘burdened’ resonate at all with you? They sure do with me! And quite possibly every other human being I know. Here’s a good reminder for you: At The Well: Guest Post Want another reminder to help keep your heart nestled safely in the hands of God, rather than caught […]
Lettuce Be Real
It came up in conversation with a precious friend the other day…the difference between how cool and confident we may appear on the outside, and how insecure and fearful we may be on the inside. And, as it often does when I process ‘life’, my garden came to mind. I’ve never grown lettuce before, and […]
{Triple}Berry Shortcake
As berry season forges on, full throttle, I couldn’t help but give this quick {and anti-oxidant packed} dessert a whirl! As easy as it is to make, eager little hands actually make great helpers on this one, and the catching and devouring of runaway berries is welcomed too! We’ve become big fans of pulling the […]
Happy Birthday, sweet Bean!
Today you turned four. Even though you told your auntie ‘Poo’, who called all the way from South Africa this afternoon, that you were “something like 15 now”…you’re actually four. You’re starting preschool this Fall! And using words like ‘condensation’ and ‘moisture’ in everyday sentences. I haven’t quite figured out how you got here so […]
And the Grand Conclusion is: We Like Camping!
We actually really do! Are you as surprised as I was? Because I sure was caught off guard by this revelation. It sort of snuck up on me. Granted, we cheated a little by enjoying most all of our meals with precious friends at a nearby cabin, which eliminated the tedious task of planning, packing […]
Camping Prep & the Baby Face
We’re headed out to the west side of the State to go camping tomorrow. You know, the ‘sleeping in a tent’ type camping. For 3 days and 2 nights. With our children. For the first time ever. Yes, we’re crazy. And no, we haven’t a clue what we’re in for. I am both terrified and […]
Luscious Lemon Pie {oh my!}
Knowing my sweet sister is on the mend and no longer stranded on a mountainside in Botswana with a broken ankle (you know, the important stuff), I can share this frivolous fabulous recipe without feeling like a poopy big sister {thanks for all your prayers and kind words, our family has been blown away by […]
Prayer Request for my {baby} Sister
I interrupt your regularly scheduled lame blog post – about lemon pie – to bring you this rather important prayer request for my sweet sister who, to put it mildly, has had an eventful day in Botswana… My delightful {ambitious, intelligent, hard-working, compassionate} baby sister has been teaching, preaching and volunteering in Kigali, Kenya and […]
At The Well: Guest Post {Far More Valuable}
Read this post here: At The Well {And yes, I have been mildly obsessed with the bird life in my yard this season. Be thankful…it’s more invigorating than my potato plants, which you’ll be seeing soon!}
