S'mores Cake

July 30, 2012

Old Jer Bear's birthday is this coming Saturday and since we will be with his step-mom and dad I decided to surprise him with a birthday cake. He had actually told me not to, as a not to bother with it type of thing. But with all the s'mores craze with food on Pinterest lately I couldn't resist putting my S'mores Cake idea together.  It worked out great, the guys played flag football for...

A Joshua Focused Photo Dump.

July 28, 2012

So weekend before last my parents came down for a few days and brought little dude with them, my sister had to work so she couldn't join. Sucks. Anyway we shopped and hung out with the toddler all weekend. I've come to realize that there is no better age than that of a toddler. The stuff that comes out of their mouths is priceless. For instance, Saturday morning I was in the bathroom doing who knows...

Trying to not be cynical about not being cynical.

July 21, 2012

For the past several Saturdays this summer I have been going through the Beth Moore James study with a group of girl at church. It's been good, real good. James has a way of slapping me in the face that no other book of the bible has been able to do. Reading the book of James feels, in a way, like having a really honest conversation with a super close friend.  He tells it like it is.  I'll...

July 19, 2012

Another Southern Married Woman Problem

July 13, 2012

I've come to notice that at 26 and having been married 3 years that the baby boom is all around me. I use to wonder why on earth these people are having kids so young...but then again let's fact it, anything after 25 isn't so young for child bearing. And my just 2 weeks shy of 28 year old husband seems to nearly be an unheard of commodity. I mean seriously how many married 28 year olds don't have...

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

July 11, 2012

My brain has been somewhere else. The fact that it is Wednesday just blows my mind. Honestly though, it could just be my mind denying that summer is coming to an end. With that said I came across a Farmer's Market that sold spaghetti squash a few weeks back. I had no clue you could get it this time of year. I typically can only find two in the entire month of December. So this was a nice surprise. With...

weekend wrap-up via Instagram

July 2, 2012

Can I just start this post by saying that it always cracks me up how uploading phone photos via the Blogger app in one order and how they appear on the blog is another order always cracks me up. Gotta love some technology.  Thursday: After working out we had dinner with some friends. Needless to say this huge truck was taking up 2 solid parking spaces. Jeremy and I joked in the car about...
