I saw the idea for a cake topped with marshmallow Peeps in a magazine and thought it looked like fun. I am far from blue ribbon category or magazine photo worthy or Pinterest Perfect when it comes to culinary creations. I just enjoy baking and trying out new recipes now and then. When I get […]

Party Cheeseball
I remember my Mother fixing this cheeseball when I was growing up. I always loved it. When I was a kid, I didn’t care for the dried beef/corned beef version of cheeseball and it seemed like it was popular and if cheeseball was on the menu, it was the one! My Mother would make both […]
Wherein I Think About Gratitude
One day, in past days, about two years ago or so, perhaps, I started a Gratitude Journal. I am a journaling, workbook type of person. I’ve had prayer journals through the years and I love the different, workbook-type Bible studies, I’ve worked through or been part of. I know this style is not at all […]
Memoir Monday {No. 17}
Time for some daily details and weekly remembrances! I know, I know. I say it over and over and over and over and over and over, but time really does wing away so quickly. I want to savor each moment as much as is humanly possible and as much as I can, even though […]
At the Roller Rink
Pigtails with bows. Ruffled skirts. Wheels whirring. Chicken dance. Do the Limbo. Shedding sweatshirts. Falling down and getting up again. Perseverance. Snacks and drinks. Laughter. Put your elbow in. Put your elbow out. Put your elbow in and shake it all about. Conversation. Disco ball. Friendly owner. Free spirit. Enthusiasm. Zest for life. Caring for […]
Memoir Monday {No. 16}
We started out our week celebrating my “baby” brother’s birthday! We fixed a birthday supper for him and had Matthew’s older brother come over too. We like to hang out with both of them. It’s always fun and makes some good laughs. Uncle Jordan brought his remote control truck for Tuck to run. And it […]
A Stack of Books
So, I have a stack of books that I am either currently reading, wanting to read, or a couple that I have finished by now. I like to see the books other bloggers share that they are reading or have read. It’s fun to relate to a well loved book or get new ideas […]
Of Teaparties and Good-byes
I really do love a tea party. I hadn’t hosted one for a good while and had thought a few times that it really would be fun to have one. Well, an opportunity presented itself and I knew I really wanted to make the time and effort to do this. {Apparently, REALLY, since I used […]

Willing to Let Go {Five Minute Friday}
Am I willing? Am I really willing to let go? In my daily devotional, I’ve been reading about and studying about and thinking about letting go of my worries and fears and problems. Really letting go and trusting God and turning them over to Him. Really trusting His promises and even embracing problems and thanking […]

Three Things: Winter
Ok, so it’s all cold and wintery out again. We had some nicer weather and warmer temps and I was all set for spring, even though I knew it wasn’t even March yet. I was just ready for spring to bring it on! Let’s see if I can think of three things I like […]
Prioritization
Priorities and Prioritization. Big words. {I had to spell check.} With a lot behind and intertwined in them. Prioritizing can sometimes feel like an impossible, ever changing juggling game to me. Good things are good. There are a lot of good things. There are a lot of opportunities. There are a lot of places that […]
Detailed Nativity
When we pulled out our Christmas decorations and nativities and set them up throughout our house, back in December, Renae took one of the nativities we have and detailed it and set it up in the basement. Then she had fun posing it and taking pictures of it. I loved what she did with it […]
