Gathering up the essentials: a few drinks, some snacks, wide-opened eyes, inquisitive minds, and cameras with extra batteries. These are the necessary items for one of our favorite family activities, a day that we like to call “Rambling”. We all load up in the car and with no particular destination in mind we simply take off [...]

I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen. The kitchen is definitely the room where I spend the majority of my time. I love looking through magazines and seeing different layouts of kitchens and I especially love to read new recipes. I get so excited when I am able to find a new recipe that I might [...]
A couple of nights ago we experienced the most dreadful thing and I’m sure that most of you can relate, no it’s not loosing satellite signal right when they are getting ready to announce who got voted off American Idol. Seriously, it is when the phone rings in the middle of the night. If you [...]
I hear others saying and catch myself often saying, “I wanted to do that, but I was too busy.” Well, I don’t buy that anymore. I have come to realize that the things that are important, my priorities, I always seem to find time for. I never seem “too busy” to have my morning coffee, or to [...]
Normally I am a pretty laid back person when it comes to most things in life, but lately I have been somewhat stressed out. My oldest daughter is scheduled to take the SAT in a few days and for some reason, I have become extremely anxious about this. I have been pressing her to do her SAT [...]

I was brought up to believe that the KJV was the only acceptable version of the Bible, and that all the others were inaccurate. But over the past 10 or so years, I have come to realize that is not the case. I have discovered that my favorite version to read and especially to study is the [...]
Our family, along with another family, had the privilege yesterday of preparing and serving lunch at a shelter. For the most part it was men, a few women, and a couple of children(I can’t even deal with that at all so we will just move on.) As I look at the faces of those coming [...]
In keeping with the “Love” theme for the week, I thought I would blog about some of the things that I love. Of course, there are 4 people that I love more than life itself, but that love is too personal to blog about, so I will stick to simple everyday objects. Mexican food. My husband teases me [...]
Since this is the week of “love”, I thought I would blog in that category. I once heard the phrase, “Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome.” I think most of us can probably relate to that in some sense. Whether we were raised in a wonderful loving home [...]
