What foods would you like to make? I want to make homemade marshmallows and marshmallow fluff. I’d also like to make Beef Wellington. That’s two things I always talk myself out of trying because they intimidate me. I failed twice at making marshmallows. They still tasted great but they weren’t fluffy or anything like I…

Dogs or cats? Dogs. I’ve never been a cat person, but we got a cat for our daughter a few years ago and Gary and I were both highly allergic to her. I’m also not a fan of how they smell and shed. I can walk in someone’s house and immediately know if they have…

Yes! Norah Harper’s kitten was the sweetest thing ever, but she made us both soooo sick. Thankfully we had the nicest people take her. I’m allergic to their hair and it was EVERYWHERE! It took me 3 months to stop “feeling” her being here. She was the cutest thing though!

Are you seeking security or adventure? Security 100%, no hesitation. I had enough adventures in my 20s to last a lifetime. By the time I was 30, I’d lived in 7 different states. Now, I love being settled and a little bit of a homebody. We’re blessed to live in a place people vacation to…

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain. Jesus saves. Period. No footnotes needed. Kids grow up too fast If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Laughter really is medicine. Bonus points if it’s over something petty. Pain teaches you patience. God’s timing > your timing. Even when it feels like He’s running late.…

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? Can they be from the past? If so, Jesus! But he would probably fuss at me for running around like Martha did.. 🤣😭🙌🏼 I clean when I’m nervous. But yeah, I’d make fresh sourdough, a steak and…

What do you need to let go of, for the sake of harmony? My irritation over my husbands ex stalking our lives for the past 15 years. Analytics don’t lie. The last week it’s been a significant increase. Wow, shocker. I thought it was better (it didn’t stop but it WAS better), but of course…

What is your favorite genre of music? I’m not sure I have one. I love 80’s music, but it’s an era, not a genre. I guess adult alternative or folk is what I’d say I listen to the most but I like almost every genre of music, other than sad suffering emo crap. I just…

What’s your definition of romantic? This may be weird but one of my favorite things (that is in no way a romantic gesture) but I just love it and how it makes me feel, is when I hear my husband say “Let me ask Jenny what she thinks” or “Yeah, let me run it by…

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes. (my Mom’s AMAZING recipe) She made it a lot since it was my Dad’s favorite, and it’s my husbands favorite now too. It’s made with a sweet sauce, and it’s soooo yummy.

Who is your favorite historical figure? Can I name 2? Jesus Christ- no explanation needed. Belle Boyd – She was a very brave and wild spy during the civil war with lots of sass and smarts. She used her charm and connections to start spying for the Confederacy. She used her Southern drawl to woo…

What is a band you once loved but can’t listen to anymore? Elliott Smith, Ben Folds and The Counting Crows. I mean I can.. but it’s painful. ❤️🩹 I’ll always love Elliott Smith though. I always wanted to marry a boy with the last name Smith so I could have his last name. My AOL…

Write about your first crush. Hard pass. 🙄🤣 Sorry, I’m kidding, but I’m not real big on reminiscing about past romances. I’ll be brief – I was crazy about him all through high school. He was very handsome and popular and I thought I loved him. He left for college and I moved to La.…

What countries do you want to visit? No thanks. 🤣 I mean, in a perfect world I would love to, but in these weird times travel seems scary and risky. But when the kids are older, I’d consider going out of the US. I would like to visit my cousin Mandy’s hotel in Bocas del…

That photo you posted pulls me in, Jennifer. I’d love to see tons more pics of it, but to go there (anywhere)– No thanks. I have always wanted to visit Germany and Israel, but I am not adventurous and being such an introvert I’m not comfortable being away from home for even an overnight, let alone a trip that far. And that’s not even counting the current dangers. That’s one of the reasons I love my blogging community. I get to go vicariously through other people’s posts 🙂

So many countries, but sticking home, It’s a turbulent world. When I write I can visit anywhere, when I draw, it pulls me in. I do love to travel to dumpsters… I am a dumpster diver. I donate (yes, after cleaning up) usable good then donate. My goal to save our earth so place like the photo Jennifer displayed are still there and not filled with trash!

Who do you spend the most time with and why? My husband and I love it! He just makes me happy and makes me feel safe and loved. We’ve somehow managed to be together almost 15 years and we still really like each other..🤣 I think a big reason for that is we’re both natural…

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 sure been a good one!! Trane ac’s are the best!!!!

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 reminder that God’s grace is for the weary, not the worthy and you don’t have…

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 something grounding about working with my hands, shaping the dough, and watching it come to…

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 old vintage cameras that I have stored away for a future hobby one day. I…

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, but it is about being proud of what we’ve accomplished and how far we’ve come…

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? Finally a question that isn’t depressing! 😆 The oldest thing I’m wearing today is my skin! I’m in my swimsuit and a coverup, and I’m not even wearing jewelry, so that’s all I’ve got! 🙂

What is the legacy you want to leave behind? I hope to leave behind a legacy of love, faith, and family. I’ve tried to live in a way that honors where I came from by preserving the stories, the traditions, and keepsakes. I want my children and grandchildren to know who they are and whose…

Have you ever broken a bone? Yes. I’ve broken both ankles, and I broke my foot in a few places. Which is why I walk with my feet turned out, or I used to anyway. I really don’t anymore, I’ve kinda corrected it through the years, but sometimes I catch myself doing it because it…

Are you a leader or a follower? I guess both depending on the situation, but I’m pretty headstrong and prefer to lead when qualified. 😂😂😂 I’m not stubborn to the point that I can’t take instruction or criticism from others though. I just prefer to have control if it’s something I think I can do…

What do you do to be involved in the community? Admittedly not as much as I should. I think I chalk that up to moving so much. I’m also kind of a homebody and love it. 😆 There’s no shame in my home game. I am involved in my neighborhood though! 🤍

What gives you direction in life? God is the foundation of everything. He’s my compass, but my anchor points would be my husband and children. My kids keep me moving forward, my husband walks beside me, and my faith reminds me who I am and why I’m here. Even when I don’t have it all…

Have you ever been camping? Like in tents? Sure. I have, but I’m not a fan of sleeping outdoors. Gary and I stayed in his Aunt’s camper years ago and that was fun, but it had a nice bed etc. Maybe in a climate that’s more enjoyable than what we’re used to would be nice.…

Who is the most confident person you know? I would easily say my husband, but he sure hasn’t always been! In fact, he might have been the least confident person I knew when I met him. He’s not confident in an arrogant way. He’s very calm and soft spoken. He’s not overbearing or cocky, but…
