I’m so sorry I haven’t been very good about keeping you all updated about Sophie.  I kept meaning to do it and it just kept getting away from me.  I thought it was high time since she turned 3 months old yesterday.  Time is flying by! She is doing great! The picture above is her […]

From my family to yours, I pray you have a fabulous Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Savior! I’m enjoying my family for a few days, but will return on Thursday with a new recipe. Also, I just have to ask since Adam and I debate this frequently…Does Santa wrap the presents, or […]

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great time! We got up and went for a walk/jog and then threw football for a little bit. Then we went and had Breakfast at Cracker Barrel and came back and watched the Parade. Which was really good this year. Especially loved Jimmy Fallon’s rendition of […]

We’ve been running crazy this week, so I’ve only been cooking super easy meals like grilled chicken and veggies. So I thought it would be fun to give you a peek inside my grocery cart.  I recently had a big shopping trip as we were out of a ton of stuff so I thought it […]

Happy Weekend Everyone! I’ve never accepted products to review before, but when Laughing Cow contacted me to try their new line of cream cheese spreads, I jumped at the chance.  I’m kind of funny about doing this kind of thing and would never do it for a product I wouldn’t actually use, and when they […]

  9.11.01.  It was my sophomore year in college.  My roommate came in and woke me up and said ‘you need to come watch this.’ We watched in horror with the rest of the country as the second tower was hit and then as both towers fell and so many lost their lives.  I remembering […]

Our town was one of the ones ravaged by the deadly tornadoes last week. God was so good to us and all we had was a tree down (didn’t hit our house) and power out for a while. We are so blessed and thankful for God’s protection because the devastation throughout our town is heart […]

Recently we went to visit our friends Pete, Tracy & Titus. We had such a great time with them! They have a new house and it is so cute. Titus has gotten so big and is super smart. He would bring me a book to read him and then Tracy would tell him to go […]
