I love this song. Singing it puts a yearning in my heart to do His work for the people I encounter everyday. The city I live in needs Christ and He is working there. The city you live in needs Him and He is working there. Be a part of it. I love that Kris won Idol. I think he will represent Christ in the music industry in his humble, [ Read More ]
Last night brought the finale for Season 8 of the show our family obsesses over each year…American Idol. And my boy decided to stay up and watch it…all. Now, he’s usually in bed and sleeping before 8pm (the night before, he was out like a light at 6:30 in fact!). Note the time on the clock behind Caedmon in the picture below… That’s right, he stayed up past 10:00! I [ Read More ]
I asked my hubs what special treat he wanted this week when I did my grocery shopping. His reply, “homemade, Paula Deen, good Southern lemonade.” So I found this recipe, very Paula Deen, and ran with it. Today, I made some yummy lemonade, I can’t wait for it to cool down. I may sit outside and drink it on the balcony. I said I ran with it…and I’m not lying. [ Read More ]
I cannot wait for tonight! To see the fun production that is the finale of American Idol and all the guest stars and performances and the past Idols all coming together… Who are you rooting for?

We took Caedmon to the pool for the first time tonight…I don’t think he was too impressed…he just looked around and watched all the big kids playing…eventually he laid back and lounged in his floatie… I love experiencing these firsts with my baby boy!
Since I’ve been blessed to stay home with my Caedmon all day, I’ve noticed that I don’t aimlessly watch TV like I used to. I have found that I don’t get anything done when I am purposelessly flipping channels at 10:30 in the morning. One show that I do watch everyday is Rachael Ray’s talk show. I like learning things from her segments in the kitchen and her interviewing at [ Read More ]
