I am always looking for good recipes. It’s hard to please 7 people! I have found a few great recipes on Pinterest that were family hits, and this is one of them. A kind Miracles member brought in some green beans a couple weeks ago (thank you!), and then I found this recipe. Perfect timing! […]

Fall has definitely been in the air this week with the cool weather, school supply shopping, and school e-mails. I love having my kids home with me, but honestly I’m looking forward to routine again. My workouts and my eating habits have not benefited from having all these crazy-snacking kiddos around (of course, blame it […]

I woke up early this morning with Dan’s alarm and couldn’t get back to sleep. The sudden reminder of “It’s my birthday” started a whole array of thoughts, and I never could get some more z’s. It was followed closely by the “Oh, yeah. It’s my birthday” kind of feeling, like does it have to […]

Dan and I are blessed to be in a small group with 6 other couples from our church. We get together twice a month: once with just adults and once with all the kids (25 and counting). On our adult-only nights we usually try to have a simple theme like Mexican, Italian, chili, salads, etc. and everyone brings something. […]

Source: Pinterest I haven’t written in awhile because, to be honest, there really isn’t much to write about. How often can I tell you about my struggles with fitness and weight before you throw up your hands and yell “Enough already!” at your screen? Well, I guess it’s not really “struggle” anymore. The struggle has now turned […]
