Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
For the second year in a row, I’m taking part in the 4th Annual 12 Days of Christmas event. It was SUCH fun last year and I got so many great ideas. From crafts to recipes to decorating and more, there are so many amazing festive ideas shared. We’re kicking things off with a collection of […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Or at least, it should be. But sometimes we lose sight of the beauty of the holiday season because it’s buried under the pressure of over the top expectations. It doesn’t have to be that way. It IS possible to reduce the holiday hoopla and simplify Christmas. […]
With the holiday season fast approaching many of us are starting to get excited about the most wonderful time of the year. The truth is though, not only is the holiday season the most anticipated season of the year, it’s also the most chaotic. Not only is there travel to plan, parties to host, gifts […]
Christmas is coming. I know, it feels like we have lots of time. We still have Thanksgiving and Halloween to get through but it always seems to me that time speeds up in the fall. And in that whirlwind, I sometimes find it difficult to keep my holiday spending on track. So, I do what […]
I’ve been watching a lot (like, a LOT) of Hallmark (and other) Christmas movies over this holiday season. I love them for the messages of simple joy and hope that they put forth. But there’s one thing that has rolling around in my brain over the past few weeks. It’s that whole notion of Christmas […]
Last year, I served up a wildly successful Eggnog Bundt Cake recipe. This year to go along with that, I made these Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes. I’d say they were as big a hit as the eggnog cake. My grand-niece had two of them for dessert and then 3 more the next day after school. […]
Did you wonder what happened to me and the weekly meal plan? I was away for a few weeks in Arkansas for my niece’s wedding and after taking a little “recovery” time, we are back into our routine and ready to roll! Meal planning makes such a difference in our week. I found that without […]
I can tell you exactly where I have failed when studying the Bible. As with many other things in my life, I’ve been a tad bit impatient. I’ve expected to zip through it. Read this chapter today. Done. Read the next one tomorrow. Done. It’s partly those “read the entire Bible in a year” plans […]
This simple delicious sweet potato gnocchi recipe is easy to make & a yummy addition to your meal plan. The optional cilantro pine nut pesto sauce takes it to the next level! I first tried gnocchi about 5 years ago. Well, no, that’s not entirely true. I remember buying a package of it when I […]
I love pesto sauce. Any kind of pesto sauce! But this cilantro pine nut pesto sauce recipe is one of my favorites. It’s delicious over pasta, gnocchi, poached eggs, chicken, tacos – you’ve GOT to try it on my sweet potato gnocchi. The flavors complement each other beautifully! Pesto is one of those really great […]
