Chocolate Cake

Something I love about our little family, is that we love to celebrate. The big things, the small things. Really, we look for any reason to make a cake, to pop a bottle of champagne, or go out to a restaurant. Jordan makes the best double layer chocolate cake.

Psalm 100:3

I have been reading She Reads Truth's Psalms of Gratitude study with friends. And even though it's almost over I keep going back to the first day. This verse really resonated with me, so I wrote it out so that I don't have to keep looking it up.  I have always written out and doodled verses and words in my journals, bible, notes, any...

I was reading this blog post which had some great places, one that i've been to and a few already on our lists. I read A Cup of Jo's similar post (which also had a few that...

ruby's first nursery

When Ruby was 3 weeks old we moved to Illinois (near St. Louis). This is her first nursery and she's already on her second! Although, she hardly used this space, maybe a diaper change here or there. This space was mainly for me.  We knew we would be moving in June and Ruby wasn't due until the middle of May. So at first we...
