Butterfingers Cupcakes

I've shared the sheet cake version of this before, and it's the cake I've now made for my husband the past four birthdays. This year, however, I wanted to try a little different take on it. I decided to do cupcakes in hopes of a little portion control. (Or was that just wishful thinking?) Last …

Seeking Fulfillment in God During the Single Years

I'm excited to share with you the very first guest post here on my blog, written by a friend of mine, Halle Nelson. Y'all go check out her blog, As God's Own, HERE and be sure to give her a follow! The single years. A dreaded, negative term, that so many wish they could avoid. …

Garden Update #9

It's been a while since my last Garden Update. Since then we've gotten a lot of green beans and cucumbers, but they have finally slowed down to a stop. We sure enjoyed having them fresh and I made a batch of pickles with the cucumbers we had. I think I wound up with six or …

Books I Read This Year (January-June 2018)

Last year I had a goal to reach. I wanted to read 3 books each month. Like I mentioned in a post earlier this year about the books I wound up reading, that's a lofty goal. I started out pretty well, but then got busy with our garden and failed miserably at reading like I'd …

10 Must-Haves for Extended Breastfeeding

Making Sauerkraut

We harvested our cabbages yesterday from the garden. I think we wound up with eight this year (I saved two to eat fresh). Last year we put up about ten heads of cabbage and that made a huge batch of 'kraut in the crock. This year we had fewer heads and a slightly smaller crock, …

Garden Update #8

It's been quite a while since my last update on the garden. We haven't had much rain lately--just a shower or two here and there, and then it gets hot again so fast everything dries up too quickly. But last night we had a good soaking, although it would be nice to get a few …

7 Fun Daddy-Daughter Date Ideas

Father's Day is coming up this weekend and it's got me thinking just how lucky I am to be married to a man who is such a good daddy to our daughter. And not only do I have a husband who is a good dad, but my dad and father in-law are good dads as …

Garden Update #7

This morning before it starts raining, Eden and I decided to go out to check on the garden. I haven't been out there since probably Friday because we had such a busy weekend, so it was a nice surprise to see how everything has grown even in just a few short days. (Cord checked on …
