Hey there, friends! It's been about three weeks since I hit 'post' on my last post on Instagram and then signed off until April 1st. I promised to keep y'all updated via my blog, but the days quickly turned into weeks and I was enjoying my separation from social media (surprisingly) so much that I just couldn't bring myself to even open up my blog to write. Sorry about that, but the separation has been so good for my heart.First things first - why am I taking a social media break? I promised to ... View the Post

Valentine cookies – puppy edition
Hey there! So - I love to bake. I used to pamper my little puppy Khloe (she's a long haired mini-doxie) A LOT more than she's currently being pampered.

So I decided to make her some homemade cookies - just in time for Valentine's day. Ingredients 1/2 cup canned pumpkin1/2 cup creamy natural peanut ... View the Post
Lemon + Water
I don't drink coffee, soda, or really anything other than water and the occasional juice. Before you start singing my praises - I don't drink pop because I can't handle the carbonation. I don't drink coffee because I can't stand the taste. So... I sort of make healthy drinking choices by default. But I'll take it! One of the drinks I LOVE to drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is hot lemon water with a bit of honey. I have this amazing little portable lemon squeezer / cup ... View the Post
A proper ‘thank you’
When I look back over the past two years of my life I am completely overwhelmed by the amazing community of people - both near and far - that supported me and my family through prayer, acts of kindness, money, watching and protecting Kenzi, the giving of time and so much more! The cards you see above are all of the cards that were given to me and my family during some of our darkest days. I've said thank you to everyone already, but it just doesn't seem like enough - so I needed to ... View the Post
10 Things I Want My Children to Know
I just realized something - Kenzi is 3 1/2 years old. In May she'll be 4! She's so observant, it's one of the things I absolutely love about her. However with that observation and now age she's starting to see some of the not-so-great things about this world we live in. I nearly died on multiple occasions and that has put so much into perspective... there is so much about life that I want Kenzi (and my future children) to know and learn from me. I want them to be instilled with a sense of ... View the Post
