Savannah at 15 Months

March 11, 2012 by Sarah

Look who is now 15 months old!  Where, oh, where is the time going?  So sad, but so fun at the same time!  Here is a rundown of some of what you are up to these days! * You are a great eater!  You eat most everything we offer you, as long as it isn’t super spicey.  Some of your favorites are oatmeal, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese quesadillas, mac n cheese, peaches, … [Read more...]

We Are Still Here

February 28, 2012 by Sarah

Wow, it sure has been awhile since I've posted.  Life has been super busy and I think it may finally be settling down for a bit.  We shall see... We are officially moved in with my grandmother.  Kevin surprised me and decided we should move into her house back on February 12th (I thought we had agreed to moving out the next weekend).  So, off we went!  I was not prepared … [Read more...]

Where is Your Hope?

February 12, 2012 by Sarah

My heart has been a little heavy the past week or so. You'd have to practically live in a bubble to not see all the tragedy, destruction (sometimes even self-destruction), devastation, and utter chaos that is going on in the world today.  Here's a list of just a few of the headlines of some news stories that come to mind when I think about just things I've heard about this week. - Josh … [Read more...]

Friends or Enemies?

February 9, 2012 by Sarah

I think I've mentioned that I watch my friend's 3 year old little boy on a part time basis.  It usually ends up being 2 days a week and it has been a hoot to see them interact with one another. Sometimes, I find them in their latest hiding spot and can even capture a smile for the camera! They usually play really well together! And occasionally I'll catch him doing … [Read more...]

Life on a Teacher’s Salary – CVS 2/7

February 9, 2012 by Sarah

Since I posted about my trip to Walgreens last week, I figured that I better give a shout out to CVS as well!  As I mentioned before, I love CVS and it is definitely my favorite of all the national drug store chains (I have yet to try Rite Aid, so I can't say much about that one). Before I show you exactly what I bought this week, here are some of the reasons why I love CVS so much (in no … [Read more...]

I'm actually cleaning/dusting the ceiling fan in our guest room. I saw this tip years ago and I've been doing it ever since, although probably not as often as I should! 🤪

Snag an old pillowcase and drag it off each blade so the dust stays inside of it. Then, wash it in your next laundry load for easy clean up!

This is where the meal magic happens in our house. This is where the meal magic happens in our house.  Don't ever let anyone convince you that you have to have a large (and often expensive) kitchen in order to feed your family.

Is there anything wrong with a large and expensive kitchen?  Nope!

Can they be helpful?  Absolutely!

This house was built in the 1940s and likely housed a family our size, or maybe larger.  It's amazing to think how our concept of wants and needs have changed since then.

Maybe someday we'll have a larger kitchen, but for now, I'm thankful that this small kitchen allows me to have everything at my fingertips quickly! 😁
"The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness "The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness we feel is found not in us but outside of us. The solutions to our problems and pain aren't found in self-love, but in God's love.

The God who created us, who created the universe, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is the one who provides us with the purpose and satisfaction we're seeking. While self love depletes, God's love for us doesn't. He showed us his love by sending Jesus to die for our sins so that we could be forgiven and live forever with him. Self-love is superficial and temporary. God's love is profound and eternal."

"The first myth that you are enough. My counter was this: you're not you'll never be enough, and that's okay, because God is."
