We have this cook book that inspires us to, while our innocent children’s heads are turned, sneak veggies into the most unlikely of places. Garbanzo beans into chocolate chip cookies, spinach into brownies, cabbage into armpits. Well, not really. That last one was simply to make sure you were paying attention. It’s a stealthy health […]
When You Can’t See God’s Hand…
Trust His Heart. We have these words etched into our living room wall. {Okay, so they’re stuck up there in vinyl. But let’s pretend they’re etched. It sounds considerably more dramatic…} It became our mantra during an intense year of hurdle-jumping. Between the loss of my hubby’s dream job, the loss of a living space […]
New Year’s Revolutions

The Choices I Get To Make
I get to choose daily what type of attitude I “clothe” myself with. I get to choose whether I see my cup as half empty or half full {on the days that my proverbial cup doth not runneth over}. And get this: I even get to choose the “climate” of my home. Wow. What a […]

The Tale of Three Trees
One of my favorite stories of all time is “The Tale of Three Trees”. We read it every Christmas, and often act it out in our Christmas Eve service. It so beautifully depicts – in a teeny, tiny nutshell – the story of Christ’s life, through the “eyes” of three trees. I have yet to […]
If Santa Had A Picky Palate
…even he would like these cookies. They’re fantasmigorical. We consider these babies ‘Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies’, but their stage name is in fact, “Everything Cookies”. Because, as the name implies, you can put literally everything into them. Except, maybe, the kitchen sink. And ground beef. Or something. Thanks to the sweet momma of this little […]
