Man, if only you could hear all the blog posts I have written in my head! This blog would be full of honest thoughts, real struggles, and gracious inspiration. But alas… I’ve not moved any of these thoughts from my head to the keyboard. I do want to start somewhere, though, and this rainy February […]

My poor blog didn’t even remember me when I tried to log-in… that’s a bad sign isn’t it? Well, I’m going to try to resurrect things here. A few sweet friends have inspired me, and there are so many sweet/funny/delicious/memorable things I could be sharing… as much for our looking-back pleasure as for others to […]

And what did I do with my 8hrs? Brian (who starts teaching next week) and I let the bunny explore her more-or-less bunnyproof porch. I went running, cleaned & did laundry. We had a lunch date at Baha Burger (so delicious!!). I made these amazing cookies for an after school treat (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/chocolate-peanut-butter-cookies-recipe, best to use […]

I don’t think I could be more excited for The Big Game tomorrow! The last time the Packers won the Super Bowl, I was recovering from surgery on my couch in our UW-Green Bay apartment. My parents were there for the weekend, and I watched the game from a pain-medicine haze during our small “party”. […]

I got a huge basket of peaches for just $14 while we were driving through South Carolina last weekend. They had been fresh-picked Sunday morning! Love, love, love fresh peaches, but of course, these have all ripened within a day or two, so I’ve had to get busy using them! Here’s what I’ve been doing: […]

It’s unbelievable that I haven’t ever posted this recipe. It’s a highly requested and anticipated dessert at Clearwater Community Church events. I’m not exaggerating when I say I make it probably 3x a month, sometimes once or twice a week, depending on what events our schedule holds. It is fail-proof. Seriously moist, and super-chocolatey, without […]
