I'm sharing three easy recipes that will never fail you in cooking for a group of 6-8 people.

Road trip hilarity
So this is what happens when you say we're traveling to the Mountains old school style with no electronics. You see the excitement. I was hoping it might spur on some great sibling conversations in the backseat. The best we got was Sophie saying, "Hey, Mitch, is that hair I see on your upper lip?" Mitchell all manlike says, "Why yes it is." With her eyes rolling and a sigh she ... Read More »
Hope for Hospitality – non dinner ideas
So we're talking about hospitality and the art of having people in our homes. Because really, our culture doesn't do this anymore. We're busy, we don't feel like we can, we're afraid, our house is a mess, etc. I've said all those things before too. But I think having people over is important.

This is why Sunday School and Youth ... Read More »
Don’t mess with your therapist!
Three times a week I go to physical therapy for my leg. It's just down the road from our house and it's so convenient for me. But there's one thing I hate about it - it's the BAPS board. Picture a large round disc on the floor with a ball underneath. I have to rotate it with just my ankle while sitting down. I can't move my leg or knee and the disc can't touch the ground. It's ...

Closing out a chapter – whew!
We said goodbye to this badboy last week..... Oh don't get me wrong. I was thankful to have that bed. But getting back upstairs and with my man was a wonderful new day. And got rid of these guys....... I relied on all these things heavily and they provided security for a time period but it's a new day in this girls life. I'm doing therapy three times a week hoping to ... Read More »
When all hell breaks loose on Sunday morning
You are not the only one whose household can go haywire on Sunday morning before leaving church. I promise. There will be time that if it can go wrong it will go wrong on Sunday - either before you get to church or on the way to church. I'm not gloom and doom girl speaking I'm just the voice of reality. So when you show up to church and the older lady in her perfectly pressed ... Read More »
