    December Book Stack

    I believe every book we as believers read, must be compared to the truths of Scripture. Any book I recommend does not necessarily mean I agree with 100% of it. All reading we do, should be done with the Bible truths in the forefront of our minds. I completed 2 book this last month. Wonder in…

    Grandma Jones’ Mac-N-Cheese

    You know how blogs love to have a long story before they share the recipe? Well I’m about to do that! You’ve been warned! While I have multiple fond memories of visiting my Great Grandma Jones as a girl, one stands out in my mind. My mom and I went to visit her (I’m guessing…

    Christmas Recap

    The week right before Christmas was a busy one for us. My daughter had her driver’s test scheduled. We had some unforseen “speed bumps” before she could actually take the test, but once she did, she passed! I sent her out to run a couple of errands for me….this is gonna come in real handy…

    I Wanna be a Dandelion

    I want to be a dandelion because they’re useful, in particular, they’re edible. I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten them, but I did see my nephew stuff one into his mouth once! Just like the dandelion is useful to others, I want to be useful too. I want to be a dandelion because they…

    I love Christmas cards…well I love receiving physical, hand written cards anytime, but Christmas is when we get the most. And now that we’re back in the US we actually receive them. A few cards have started trickling in, but then today, I got a card that completely surprised me. It was from a couple…
