her cuteness redeems her

I think we have more teething. Or a sickness. Or good God, anything! Please make it something! We have one crabby 17 month old on our hands here.
Cora was up at 5:15 am this morning. AM! That is before one should be up and out of bed. [...]

Tuesday Mail Call

what’s keeping me busy

Besides my 17 month old terrific toddler?
Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cinnamon Bread, and Cupcakes, Oh My!
I’m on a baking spree today. It started with cupcakes for my bible study tonight. Yes, that’s right, my bible study. It’s a group of 20-something women that has been getting together almost every Tuesday night for the [...]

kitchen remodel? part 3

So the countertops are looking to be about 2-3 times more expensive then we thought they would be. That’s no fun. We aren’t sure where we are going from here.

kitchen remodel? part 2

This morning we came home from church (in our church clothes mind you) and decided to see how easy it would be to take off the backsplash that is up right [...]

kitchen remodel? part 1

first park trip

We’re having record high temperatures here today. I believe the temperature reached 78 degrees today. We decided to have lunch with Kelly at a park today. I packed up the food, the dog, and the baby (toddler, whatever) and we were on our way.
The park was gorgeous (though a bit “rough”) and [...]
