    A while ago, in December, I said that I was back. I may have underestimated the busyness of the new year and getting settled back in. But this time I am for real! I hope to post around once a week, just to share what’s going on in my life. I’m trying to be more…

  • weekly menu week 5

    Happy February! I can’t believe my little prince and fellow blogger will be 16 years old in just over a week. So much to write about, so little time. But what does his birthday have to do with this week’s menu plan, you might ask? Apparently everything. It is my constant joy to think of…

  • weekly menu week 4

    Happy Tuesday?! I don’t know where the day went yesterday, but I know we had dinner and it was delicious. DJ did most of the preparation and all the dishes! It’s easier to get help with dinner when you have a plan 😉 I consider it a bonus homeschool class: life skills 101. Happy last…

  • weekly menu week 3

    Well, I’m just now catching my breath from spending the long weekend in NC with an amazing group of teens, worshiping the Lord of all creation morning, noon, and night. The camp staff prepared thoughtful, delicious meals for us and served them up with love. What a gift! Since we’ve been back, we have enjoyed…

    Soooooo I didn’t end up making a salad every day last week, but we did have more salads than we normally do! I think the fresh corn salad was my favorite because it was so simple and tasted like summer in January! And for my next magic trick…I’m challenging myself to a no-grocery-shopping week also…

    Sometimes I feel like Thanksgiving gets lost as Christmas and New Years threaten to take over the holiday season. But it’s a great time to thank God for his provisions, and, yeah, I enjoy the food. Every year my family and I make a traditional American Thanksgiving feast! I mean, we do it all, from…

    The older I get, the harder it is to get back to life and back to reality after what felt like an otherworld experience. I’m still processing the wedding weekend and the countless blessings. My niece put so much care into every.single.detail. What a gift to each guest. From the opening music at the church…

    I love food. Which is why by far the hardest part of the fitness life for me is the diet. But sometimes it’s okay to eat some unhealthy stuff, right? Everything in moderation *wink* No, but in all seriousness it’s perfectly fine to have a cheat meal sometimes. Here are my favorite foods that don’t…

  • the cardio dilemma

    Cardio is a big part of working out. It’s very good for your heart and is a great way to burn calories. But in my opinion … cardio isn’t fun. I mean some people like it, and if you’re one of those people then maybe you should stop reading … (jk, don’t do that, I…

    Well, we can’t believe our blog is a month old today. It’s been fun, but, unfortunately, it’s time to close this chapter. Thank you to all who have read, commented, or reached out to us to say you were inspired. I’m just kidding! My darling boy and I are just getting started and we can’t…
