Hello friends! It's been so long! I have missed you guys. I'm trying to make more of an effort to set aside some EARLY morning time to get back on here and blog. My goal? Two or three times a week would be wonderful! So, rather than bore you with my excuses for being absent, I ...

Today is a SUPER special day. It's Hubby's birthday!

Puppy love. We’re getting a dog!
I can't believe it. You all. We are getting a puppy and I've fallen head over heals with this little canine. AND I haven't even met her yet. For the longest time, Nate and Maxim have begged and begged and begged for Daddy and me to get them a dog. "No, they are too much work." "We don't ...

When you’re given lemons…make lemonade
We've all heard this idiom before. Yes, when you're given a lemon (which is sour and pretty awful to eat by itself), make something sweet out of it. Like lemonade. Friends, that is what I'm choosing to do. On Wednesday, I was given a lemon. But mine wasn't sour. It was crunchy. I sent this text to ...
Weekend Recap (a little late): football, faith, and family
I'm aware that this is a day or two late. But I was very busy over the weekend and my busyness continued on through yesterday. Friday was a busy day with volunteering at school and making and baking. I also enjoyed watching Nate as he participated in a skit at his school. He was to wear ...
