Book Review: Lord I Give You This Day

Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Not to be dramatic, but this is probably my least favorite daily devotional I have read to date. I was excited to get Kay Arthur's book, "Lord I Give You This Day: 366 Appointments with God" because I generally appreciate Arthur's other works and her well-researched fleshing out of Scripture. But I am sorry to say that this book was not at all...

InstaGlance: February 2013

Thursday, March 07, 2013
February has been a busy month!  It always happens that way with such a short month.  But to wrap it up, Gia & I had a blast at our middle school Nerf wars.  It was a little weird to see my toddler wielding a gun- albeit a Nerf- and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.  But she enjoyed it and...

Dimples

There are days when I don't think I can take it any more... She's growing up so fast. She already knows all her basic colors. She says "I love you" spontaneously at dinner (though her dad had to translate that one for me). She feeds her baby dolls like the Duggar mom, and has strong opinions about cheese (loves it) and milk (hates...

Book Review: Unglued Devotional

Tuesday, March 05, 2013
To say that I have a tendency to come unglued in certain circumstances would be an understatement.  It is embarrassing to admit, but I tend to be a bit high strung.  Little things like a dirty sock on the floor or crumbs on my newly vacuumed carpet can send me over the edge.  A friend who cancels last minute can unravel my "togetherness"...

Oscar Party 2013 Pt. 2

Monday, March 04, 2013
Now for the Food & Favors (aka the swag bag)! THE FOOD I am so sad I didn't get picture of all the food.  I had a pretty great menu planned, and even managed to incorporate all of the Best Picture Nominees.  That took quite a bit of thought!  Here was the menu: Hors d'oeuvres Proscuitto Wrapped Asparagus (Les Miserables)... this was a...

Oscar Party 2013 Recap Pt.1

Monday, March 04, 2013
I can't believe its already been a week since the Oscars!  I still have not recovered.  Though my husband did take Gia out of town for the day on Saturday so I could work on our guest room/craft room.  It seemed to explode in the weeks leading up to it.  So although the rest of my house is still a mess of clothes,...
