Why I Don’t Want to Have Fuzzy Memories About the Hard Days of Parenting
One day last year my daughter Julia had a doctor’s appointment. I had picked the big kids up from school and drove all four of them, along with Janna who hadn’t taken a nap, to town. I mistakenly thought that the doctor’s office wouldn’t be very busy and that we wouldn’t have to wait long. It wasn’t until we…

What I’m Into {February 2015}

Stevia Sweet Tea (Sugar-Free)
My husband loves sweet tea. He grew up drinking his grandma’s sweet tea which was very sweet (sugar induced coma sweet). I made sweet tea with sugar for many years and, while mine was quite sweet, it still wasn’t as sweet as hers. I didn’t mind making sweet tea for my husband because I thought it had…

Party Food: DIY Personal Pizza
I love planning for and hosting parties. I don’t do it very often but, when I do, it is always fun. So, when two of my oldest and dearest friends planned to visit over Christmas, I went into full-on planning mode. I try to do a different theme every year when they visit. One year it was a…

What to Do When You Feel Like Complaining
A couple of days ago I was outside feeding our animals dressed in coveralls, a coat, a hat, and gloves. Even with all of those layers I was frozen. The air was so cold that my cheeks felt like someone had slapped them and my nose was so numb I wasn’t sure it would ever…
