I have to admit, it's always hard for me to pick a blog to write about each week; every blog I read I do so because I love the content - whether it's a fabulous recipe, a fun outfit, or something that just speaks to my heart. If you guys haven't read Naptime Diaries, you should know that I do so because Jessi is one of the most beautifully honest and well-written women I've ever come across in this online world. I started reading her blog last summer, smack dab in the middle of ... continue reading...
Friday News
Y'all, I had big plans for a really rockstar post today, and then...well, then I got a cold/sinus thing and fell asleep for several hours instead. Totally fine since I feel slightly better and I guess it's my body's way of telling me to rest up a little more. In the spirit of that I figured I'd share just a couple of news tidbits with y'all as we all prepare for Easter weekend...sound good? GOOD! Let's do this: First things first, Weston learned how to kiss last night and my heart is now ... continue reading...
Coffee Date
Good morning dear friends :) Let's sit down over some coffee, shall we? I know what I'm going to have - homemade coconut mocha! (click the photo above for a link to the recipe). The coffee date is nothing new; in fact two of my favorite bloggers ever have them frequently on their blogs, and it's always one of my favorite ways to get to know them. I actually do pretend we're sitting down and drinking something frothy and caffeine-y and wonderful and just dishing about ... continue reading...
Creamy Cheddar Sweet Potatoes
As I type this I have a chip on my shoulder. Ugh. It's almost painful to think about, let alone type it out. SIGH. OK. Here goes. The Bible study that I've been going to every Tuesday at our church here was having a brunch, and everyone was asked to bring a brunch-y dish to share. Easy, you know? I mean, I cook for a living. I create recipes as my job. Easy peasy. I got this. Or do I? So ... continue reading...
Dear Tummy: A Letter to My Least and Most Favorite Body Part
Even though it feels a tad strange to write a letter to my body parts, I just have to get this off my chest: I need your forgiveness. For so long I've looked down on you, sad that you weren't a 6-pack, upset that you jiggled a bit at times, and self-conscious that maybe you weren't the star of the show when I wore a bathing suit. To be fair I never really did anything to take good care of you though; I didn't eat food that would satisfy you and help you nourish the rest ... continue reading...
Prosciutto Crackers
Yesterday we went to church in Little Rock for the first time in several weeks - our family has celebrated the lives of loved ones in various ways almost every weekend lately, and it's starting to get where life is almost back to normal. Whatever that means. See, I think normal means kind of getting to sleep a little bit. It means having a semi-regular schedule of eating and sleeping for Wes, which means a semi-regular schedule of eating and sleeping for mom and dad. It means ... continue reading...

What I Love About…Yes, I Want Cake
About a year ago a good friend told me about Yes, I Want Cake and y'all, I kid you not, I have been obsessed ever since. See, this was back when I was living outside of Denver, and Katie did too! I was so excited that there was another momma in the area and immediately staked a claim on her daughter to be my daughter-in-law someday. Yes, I did. I'm not ashamed. The more I read Katie's blog the more I completely fell in love with her beautiful spirit, her beautiful ... continue reading...
Always Good
I read this verse yesterday and can't seem to get it out of my head. I feel like this is a good thing - you know, it's not like Taylor Swift continuously singing some version of "never" or "ever" a million times over and over again. It's the word of God, the promise that no matter how inconsistent I get, God is always the same. He always loves. He is always faithful. He is always gracious. He always understands. He always wants me. He always thinks I'm ... continue reading...
Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Pineapple Chicken
You know what I was remembering the other day? I was just thinking about how the summer months are going to be upon us very very soon here in Arkansas, and while I'm excited about it heating up I can't say I'm overly thrilled about the whole keeping the house cool thing. See, we're renting a house that is fantastic, but we're finding it's not super energy-efficient so far. I think the plan is to have fans going in every room to help circulate all of the air while we have the A/C ... continue reading...
How a Mommy Does It: Fast Food at Home
Picture this: a newly-minted toddler sits on his mom's lap while she tries to feed him chicken and sweet potato and maybe (just maybe) some pinched pieces of bread. He's struggling to get out and explore the world, and despite his mom's continuous efforts to get him to eat he just won't do it. Oh, this is my story like every day. Just in case you didn't catch that ;) The thing is that Wes will refuse to eat, throwing his food on the ground much to the pleasure of two very ... continue reading...
Fig Newton Pecan Balls [Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free]
So yesterday I did this thing called, "make a mess of my entire kitchen and house" and didn't clean it up because "it's part of my job." You know, part of my job to make a mess and part of the job is not cleaning it up. See, I have this nice, neat and newly remodeled (thanks to a bajillion emails and major help from Kacia - I OWE YOU!!!) website but the measure of a good work day is how big of a mess I can make. And the not cleaning it up part? I can only equate it to seeing a ... continue reading...
