…this is what I want my retirement to look like. I don’t have to work anymore so that I can give and give and be and go and do. This man knows that God has given him a gift and he is using it for others, so many others. It makes my heart smile from ear to ear to see these beautiful people given clean water. I love that he [ Read More ]
Africa is where my heart is. My mind is often there. I cannot wait until my feet can stand on that ground someday. For now, I choose to use my voice to bring awareness to Africa, its beauty, its people, its struggles, its hope. A friend posted this on facebook this morning and I thought it was fascinating. I find that fascinating, with as big as Africa is, as many [ Read More ]
I did a little straying from this recipe because I didn’t want to spend $20 on bourbon! Call me cheap…anyway…I cooked some seasoned chicken, until almost cooked through, sauteed some onion and garlic and put it into some BBQ sauce, added a little orange zest and brown sugar. I then put the chicken in a dish, topped it with the souped up BBQ sauce. On top of that I put [ Read More ]

Call me a paranoid Mom, over-reacting, too strict or sheltering if you’d like. We have decided not to let our kids play with guns, on any level, or other similar weapons. As Christ followers, we are told to put down the sword. Jesus chose to live on this earth in peace with everyone He encountered and we are to strive to do the same. We have chosen to teach our [ Read More ]
I used a Paula Deen recipe tonight and tweeked it to make it my own, so you could say that since I tweeked it enough, I came up with my own recipe tonight! Fall is upon us so we had these pork chops with some baked sweet potatoes and green beans (Caedmon’s favorite)! 4 pork chops 1 onion – chopped mushrooms – sliced (as many as desired) a lil butter [ Read More ]
I am so thankful to have billionaires like the Gates in our world today. They’re inspirational. They want their kids to understand what and why they are doing with their wealth. They want American children to have opportunities for education to break the cycle of poverty in their family. They want children in India to have healthy lives free of polio. They want a cure for AIDS and HIV medication [ Read More ]

We are so excited that we are expecting Number Two in April…April 24th to be exact, Easter Sunday! So far, this pregnancy isn’t anything like my first! I am nauseous, alot of the time, but mostly at night. I have to eat pretty often, which I’m not [ Read More ]
