Encouraging moms they can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens them!
Every year, as the new year approaches I start trying to decide which planner to use for the upcoming year. I scour the internet and search my local office supply stores but I never quite find exactly what I’m looking for. Last year, I had an Erin Condren Life Planner, I loved that planner, it was so pretty and had a lot of great […]

Ahh.. summertime in the south.. Sweet tea. Tomato sandwiches. Corn on the cob. Fried Squash. Does it get any better than that? Those were the things I grew up on. My Dad always had a huge garden so my mom made us garden fresh dinners or “suppers” like the one above all the time. There’s just something about a huge plate of vegetables straight from the […]

July 4th is just days away and as I was doing my meal planning this week I realized I’ve never shared this recipe on the blog! It’s a tragedy really because these little bite sized treats are a crowd pleaser for your summer picnics! I made them a few years ago and they’ve been a Fourth of July tradition ever since! […]

I’ve discovered a few hidden talents this week! First, I can talk to cats! My Dad got a couple of kittens this weekend and the poor little things were just heartbroken and not eating. On a long shot, I decided to call to them like a momma cat. This wasn’t just an ordinary, half-hearted meow. It was a very distinct […]

The dress was in fact blue, but LOTS of people saw gold. There’s another Blue/Gold confusion sweeping the nation but it’s not a vision problem- it’s a heart […]

I love eating zucchini everyday while it’s in season (no, really, I do!) but I’m also a practical girl. I wanted a way to preserve zucchini and squash throughout the year for all types of recipes. So, naturally, I did what anyone does these days.. I asked if anyone had any suggestions on facebook, LOL. That’s when my friend Merissa, from […]

“Hey Mama-mia Bring your Mama to Carrabba’s” Have you heard that catchy little jingle? It usually comes on around Mother’s Day but it sticks with me all year long. Ask my husband, I just randomly belt it out. Monday was my Mom’s birthday and of course that song came to mind. Since we are on a budget, taking her to […]

I mentioned last week that my little girl loves strawberries! (What’s not to love?) As a result we almost always have some in the refrigerator. One of my favorite things to do with them is make strawberry spinach salad. Yum. It’s light and a little sweet- perfect for a summer dinner or even a quick lunch. I love the simplicity […]

During the summer I love to make things for dinner that don’t heat up my house. I use the microwave, the grill and the crock pot to my full advantage! It’s already 90 something degrees outside- who wants to stand over a burner or crank an oven up to 350°? Not me! Especially since our air isn’t really all that […]
