Last week, I shared that my DS would be deploying soon but he has found out that he is NOT deploying for now! He is scheduled for a school later this year and it’s just not worth it to send him for just a couple of months, I guess. So, for this momma’s heart, it... Continue Reading →
Cinderella, Breakfast Tacos, and more
This weekend I took my mom to see DD’s performance in Cinderella. It was wonderful and of course, she was beautiful. She amazes me every day. Her bravery, her talent, her determination. I ask myself all the time, “How did YOU raise kids like this?” They are both just amazing people.She didn’t have a lot... Continue Reading →
Zucchini Bread
In my post Wednesday, I mentioned that I was going to make some zucchini bread, and I actually did AND… It was pretty good. It’s an old recipe I found 2006 from a blogger friend, Ask The Helpful Housewife, aka Leanne Roman. I don’t think she blogs much anymore but I did find the old post... Continue Reading →
The Snooze Button
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button. And you throw in Daylight Savings time and UGH! What do you do with your snooze button time? Do you use it for a few extra minutes of sleep? Or maybe you use it to slowly wake up. Or maybe... Continue Reading →
Feeling the Empty-nest
Oh my. So much to say. Let’s just start with how I’m not totally digging this empty-nest thing right now. Oh, I don’t mind the empty-nest as much I mind the distance between my kids and me. Once again, I’m asking myself what I was thinking, raising such independent kids!!
Busy little bee
I have been a busy little bee this weekend. I had a wonderful lunch with a dear friend I haven't really seen for several years. It was a three-hour lunch date! It was so nice to catch up with one another again. I had really missed our friendship so I am really glad we are... Continue Reading →
Distractions
Good morning! It's 8:13 a.m. where I am and I already feel productive. I decided I would treat myself for breakfast today and it was yummy! Now, this isn't a cooking blog by any means. I don't make my own recipes (at least not to share) and I don't take the best photos of my... Continue Reading →
A cooking post…
So, I know I don't usually post twice in one day but I have to tell you about my new discovery. Have you tried these? I did last night in some pasta and I wasn't sure how I felt about them but I put a couple of spoonfuls in my eggs this morning with a... Continue Reading →
More Empty than usual
So my nest has been more empty than usual. DH has been on the road. It's been so quiet here! In some ways it's been really nice and other ways... well, I prefer to be alone all day and then have him come home to me in the evenings. I finished 2 series on Netflix,... Continue Reading →
Passion – fireside musings
When I think of my passions I can only think of two things, my family and God. When trying to figure out my ‘calling’ or purpose in life though… well, God seems pretty broad and my family... is my family. I keep trying to narrow it down. What is my passion with God? What is... Continue Reading →
