I’m somewhere not so far away today. Or rather I’m blogging somewhere not so far away… When your mom runs a ministry site and then asks you to do a post for the “Family Counter” is is kind of hard to say no. Not that I minded one bit. Check out my post on…

Frozen Banana Ice Cream
The whole ice cream in a bag thing has never quite worked for me. I abandoned the idea several years ago when the bag that held the soon-to-be ice cream came open and doused our front porch in sugar, milk, and ice. Several months ago I, being now older, wiser, better at following directions, and…
Life is Good
The other day I was driving down the road by myself, the sun setting before me, when the song “waitin’ on a woman” by Brad Paisley came on. It was like a smile from God that He understands my waiting, and a reassurance that something beautiful will come out of it. And I realized…
Diversified Roamings {Snapshot 2}
{1} I’ve been stressed lately. With one class ending and another class beginning, babysitting, and church I’ve been feeling very stretched. In an attempt to de-stress, I’ve back off on some of the things I enjoy most (blogging, photography, knitting, journaling, drawing). Yet the effect was the opposite of what I had hoped for. I…
Family Photo Shoot
And thus the journey begins…my first “official” photo shoot! These are the best after sorting through the 550 I took, and the 61 I am giving to the family. How did I do?

After being inspired by other bucket lists and giveaway on this site, I decided to re-write and re-commit to a bucket list! -Fall in Love and get married. -Have kids. -Learn to play an instrument. -Put lyrics I’ve…
Practice Shoot
This is what you get when you drag your sister out for a practice photo-shoot. “Are we really doing this here? On the side of the road?” “Do I look like a model?” “Oh my gosh Maddie. The cows are going to come attack us.” “This is seriously freaking me out.” “It’s too sunny!” “Oh.”…
Summer’s Changed
I’ve just finished unpacking the last of my suitcase from our 4-day trip to South Carolina. While we arrived home yesterday, the fact that I had purchased a new picture frame meant I had to re-arrange every table and desk in the room before even thinking about my Vera Bradley duffel. Not to mention…
Review: Woman of Faith CD
CD reviews are interesting. With books, one can analyze the content, the writing style, the brilliance of the tactics, all in a relatively unbiased way. Reviewing music is almost entirely biased, based completely on the listener’s personal opinion and taste. This is especially true when dealing with remade lyrics. Before I give my opinion of…
