Hi friends! I don't normally pop in over the weekend, but I wanted to share this fun St Patrick's Day treat today so you'd have time to whip it up for tomorrow's festivities! I stumbled across this little gem on Oopsey Daisy blog three years ago and I've whipped it up for my preschoolers to enjoy every year since then. If you're not familiar with Alison's blog, she's got tons of kid-friendly activities and easy DIYs. She's not posted in quite … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {February}…
March 3, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
After all the stress and angst of last week, God granted me a wonderful weekend of peace! I was so blessed to spend Saturday with a dear friend, watching her daughter (my god daughter) play in a volleyball tournament and catching up. Don't you love it when it's as if no time has passed since you last saw one another? Sunday was warm and lovely and after church I spent a few hours in my yard, clipping, raking, and bagging debris from the … [Read more...]

So sorry for the radio silence. Oh my, y'all. If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you might know I was at the beach last weekend for a girls' trip... where I was brought down by a nasty stomach bug inflicted upon me by my preschoolers. Ugh. I want a DO OVER! Anyway, I'm back in the land of the living and the petri dish I call a work place... just a tad behind on anything and everything. Sound familiar? :) Our spring schedule is … [Read more...]
January Recap {In Case You Missed It}
February 3, 2014 by · 3 Comments
February?? Wow... not sure how that happened. For a month that's supposed be of the "slowing down" sort that I love, January sure sped by. We had such an enjoyable weekend and I cooked up a storm for our little Super Bowl party yesterday. Got a new crock pot recipe to share soon, so stay tuned! I was looking back at my posts last month and while there were definitely projects, there was lots of "other"... thoughts, goals, reads. That's my … [Read more...]
Buffalo Chicken Dip {Super Bowl Perfect!}

Wow. Snowmaggeddon - snowpocalypse. Call it what you may, but we are in the deep freeze with a terrible traffic disaster on our hands. I'm sure you've seen it on Facebook if you're friends with any Southerners (especially Atlantans), but hear me when I say -- we were unprepared and unequipped, and many folks are still stranded in their cars. I could do a whole post on this, but I'll spare you. My 18 year old son was 6.5 hours enroute home … [Read more...]
Favorite Squash Casserole

Hump Daayy! I have to confess, it still feels like Christmas break around here. Schools were closed yesterday due to the frigid wind chills (Yes, go ahead and make fun!) and a shortage of natural gas in the Atlanta area to heat the schools. Craziness... but it was delightful to be able to watch the entire National Championship Game without worrying about getting up and going to work this morning! Especially since we had to watch until the … [Read more...]

Quick Start Chicken Soup

Are y'all running like me? I don't know why I'm surprised every year by how busy we get once Halloween is in our rear view mirror. Maybe I block it out so that as November approaches I'm not paralyzed by angst about getting it all done. Thank you, Lord, for that! :) Anyhow, I have to admit I come up short in the meal department during the great build up to Thanksgiving Day as I'm furiously making lists, beginning Christmas prep in the midst … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {October}

Holy Cow. October flew by in a hurry, didn't it? My pause did not last nearly as long as I'd hoped, but I'm thankful there was a bit of one in there. Here we are in November and the slide into the holidays is on its way! I think I'm actually ready to get some Christmas crafting going soon... is that scary or what? ;-) Unfortunately when I look at our calendar for the month, I'm not seeing much time to spare! Guess I'll have to get clever, … [Read more...]

First of all, Y'ALL ROCK. SERIOUSLY. Our (in)Mercy Classroom Addition was fully funded by 3:30 yesterday afternoon. God is good and His mercy showed through each and every one of you that contributed in some way to this project. Look at these faces... these girls who will have opportunities anew now. I'm seriously in awe and so humbled to have shared the need and the story! There is more work to do for Mercy House … [Read more...]
