So my little buddy, David (who’s birthday is December 26th), his mommy and I were talking with some other little friends of ours at the dessert fellowship last night, when David proudly announced, “I’m FOUR now!!” His mommy said, “That’s right! His birthday was last week…it was on the day…
Happy New Year
Almost four months it has been that I have been “bloggin”..and I have so enjoyed meeting so many friends and hearing your stories, visiting your homes (through photos), and getting to know you! I wish all of my friends a beautiful New Year’s Day!! I am excited to see what…
New Year’s Eve
Yes, it is hard to believe the last day of the year has arrived. Have you heard a few people say, “Wow, where did the year go?” or “My, this year just flew by….” I think I’ve heard a few hundred (or maybe a few dozen, at least) express that…
Hot Curried Fruit
Last week, I asked for new brunch ideas and got several good suggestions…my thanks to everyone. Since some have asked, I ended up with mostly “tried and true” classics…mainly because my family got wind that I was going to get creative and they were less than enthusiastic – who knew…
Shields Tavern Blueberry Crisp
Happy Monday…I pray that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I will not bore anyone with our family details…trust me, they will never make a TLC original reality show based on our family! – but God was very good and we had a sweet time together as a family. As they…
Merry Christmas

What’s With December 21st??
Let me say..for the record… I am not superstitious in any way what so ever; however, I have been, shall we say, somewhat leery of December 21st. It was three years ago – December 21st – that my Tyler was diagnosed with his brain tumor and one year ago –…
Casserole Anyone??
My goal for this weekend is to finalize my brunch menu for Christmas morning. I have some tried and true favorites but was almost thinking I would like to be a little creative – or, at least, new – this year. So, I was pulling out the cookbooks in search…
God is Good
Thankful Thursday…today I am taking the sweetest eight-year old out for lunch and some fun for her birthday – just the two of us! She (and her brother and sister) just make my heart happy! As I was thinking about my day..it occurred to me how fortunate I am to…
Ready for Christmas?
Thank you to those who left notes of real encouragement for me yesterday. Truly, God promises to meet our every need…but one day at a time. I am encouraged today – and especially looking forward to the little Christmas party I have each year with my little ones at church!…
