  • Happy Friday 🤍

    It’s a stormy night so we’re enjoying Chicken Pot Pie and a movie marathon. Gary’s off for 6 days! 🤍🙌🏼 It smells soooo good in here! Continue reading

  • Good Grief

    It hurts my heart so bad to see people grieving. It’s something I think I’ve become pretty good at or at least extremely familiar with. I watched a little argument (if you could even call it that) take place on… Continue reading

  • What are you passionate about? Motherhood, being a wife, my faith, home making, cooking, politics| my beliefs, and being able to be creative in some capacity (cooking, painting, gardening, decorating etc). Continue reading

  • What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? AC and ours is probably about to go out any day now. It’s the original when the house was built. We keep it pretty cold in here, and it’s Florida, so it’s… Continue reading

  • 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    He doesn’t want us to be comfortable, he’s asking us to come out of the boat, like Peter. Trust him. Continue reading

  • UPS is the worst.

    What’s the point of even doing a 2 day with UPS??? They shouldn’t be able to charge you extra for quick shipping if it doesn’t make a difference. It’s not expedited any faster, so why are the able to offer… Continue reading

  • Monday, Monday

    Good Morning. Sitting down to unwind a little. This past week was fast and furious. I sure hope summer slows down a little. It’s been a weird week. An old friend of mine, is considered “missing” but everyone is saying… Continue reading

  • Ahhh Summer.

    I really do love the sunshine and summer. There’s just something about this season that helps me slow down and breathe a little deeper. The longer days, the warm breeze, being outside more… it all just feels good for the… Continue reading

  • Love it!

    We finally moved our table outside so we can use the fire pit without it getting so warm, and Gary got me this great sofa sectional for my birthday. I love it so much. 🤍 Continue reading

  • Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? Of course. I had a favorite set too. The Monster at the end of this Book. Peanuts Encyclopedias! I loved all of them! Continue reading

  • List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? The Bible- it’s not just words, the Bible is alive. The Ragamuffin Gospel- Brennan Manning -such a good reminder of how much God loves us despite ourselves. It’s a tender… Continue reading

  • ☀️🤍☀️🤍☀️🤍

    What a wonderful weekend and start to summer. We’ve been going to the river a lot, just spending time in the sun. It’s kind of strange, considering that we live by one of the most popular beaches, but the wind… Continue reading

  • What fears have you overcome and how? I could write a book. The “how” is very simple- “but, God.“ Continue reading

  • Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. There are many, but I love making bread. I love making sourdough in particular, because it combines so many things I care about. Creativity, tradition, and nurturing. There’s… Continue reading

  • Do you have any collections? Not really. I’ve never been a real collector of anything, except maybe seashells and old cameras. It’s not a fancy collection, just shells the kids have gathered through the years and I have about 12… Continue reading

  • 48!!!

    One thing I’ve never minded is getting older! It’s a blessing! There’s a lot of people I wish had been given the opportunity. It’s been a great day! Alan called and woke me up early this morning and sang Happy… Continue reading

  • Just thought I’d mention..

    Phil Robertson’s passing in some strange way made me cry and smile. What a homecoming that was. I imagine him hearing the words “Well done my good and faithful servant!”. We aren’t into duck hunting, and we never got into… Continue reading

  • Whew! I’m tired :)

    I had a fun day with the kids yesterday. Gary is working 16hr shifts this weekend and today. He’s working 10:30am -2:30am. It’s brutal Hours, but he actually plans it like that bc they get double pay on Sunday and… Continue reading

  • 🤍🤍🤍

    Norah Harper bought me these earrings with her own money. They are so sweet. I love that baby. 🤍🤍🤍 Continue reading

  • What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? To me, having it all means living a life that feels full in the ways that matter most to me. It’s not about chasing big things or impressing anyone,… Continue reading
