I haven’t a clue what to call these babies. It’s complicated. “Divine” would be fitting. They have a heavy dose of smashed banana and shredded coconut, a kick of cinnamon and allspice…all topped off with a delectable crumb topping. So here you have it… Coconana Spiced Crumb Muffins {oooh aaaaah} Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of […]
The Birds and The Bees…and Some Little Apple Seeds
While my hubby and I love talking to couples about the {regrettably under-talked about, within-the-context-of-the-Christian-community} topic of sex, and the undeniably crucial role it plays within a healthy marriage…we really didn’t know how – or when – to broach the subject with our kids. We actually look forward to having “the talk” with […]
Could It Be?
I have been a busy beaver this past week…designing, proofing and tweaking my{ever-expanding} heinie off during every quiet moment I can forage. Creating Christmas cards for other families. And I love it! Snowflakes. Christmas Bulbs. Bright colors. The Eiffel Tower. Gorgeous kids. You know, all the standard Christmas card details. Oh, well. Except for the […]
Sweetness
This little lady steals my heart most every day. Between listening to her lilting medleys {of Jesus Loves Me, 3 Blind Mice, Twinkle, Twinkle…finished up with…”green means go, yellow means slow and red means stop!”} and watching her patiently and tenderly love on her {often rough n’ tumble} little brother, she just woos me with […]
Wintery Morning Motivation: Baked Oatmeal

Need a little wintery morning motivation? Try […]
A Bugalicious {Heart} Update
Our little Bug got to see his cardiologist this morning. The one Cricket pretends to be 99.9% of the time they play doctor. {Side note: he weighs between 27 and 29 pounds, depending which scale you plop him on, and he’s a whopping 33 inches long. At 15.5 months old. That’s our boy!} His doc […]
Caught Kissing
I walked into Cricket’s room yesterday afternoon to snap some photos of her dressed to the nines in tutu, shades, hat, scarf, jewelry & heels… and was met by this delightful sight instead: {he had been kissing his reflection} What can I say? He’s a rockstar.
Christmas {Desktop} Wallpaper: For You!
I’ve been itching to create my own spiffy wallpaper for months now…and seeing it’s Christmas and the sharing vibe is surging strong through the air…I finally gave it a whirl and wanted to share my first ever with you! Aren’t I sweet? {just smile and nod} Simply select the size you want, click on the […]
Balsamic Glaze, Walmart & the Epiphany {oh my}
I just returned from a date with this hunk of scrumptious man tonight. It was most glorious. We talked about life. expectations. disappointments. Work. kids. sex. marriage. How much we loved the balsamic glaze. Friends. The power of prayer. Our future. Laundry. And how domestically inept I am. How thankful we are for each other. […]
{Drooling}
I am ever-so-slightly, just a wee-little-bit, experiencing some mild “baby bug” symptoms. Okay, so I would be lying if I said my uterus didn’t cramp just a tad when I look at these beautiful baby blues. She’s completely and utterly perfectly delicious in every way. {the fact that one of my best friends is […]
