When Nathan and I got married I had no idea how to cook. The most I could do was cook noodles and eggs. I didn't even know how to heat up spaghetti sauce. (mostly I was just lazy and didn't want to dirty a pot...) Nathan loved to cook so luckily we didn't starve. I have come a long way since those dark...
Today is my amazing mother's birthday! I am so so SO thankful for my mom for so many reasons. She is such a caring, encouraging, selfless, funny, and supportive person. And then when you mix all that with her motherly instincts...wow. Like none other. So happy birthday mom! I love you and can't wait to spend a little bit of Christmas break with...
I like to think that I'm a pretty productive person. Especially if I get going on a roll. There is no stopping me. When I worked at the University (aka office job) my coworkers used to ask me how I stayed above water and I would just tell them that I guess I am productive. I thought I would share some things that...
Well, my birthday is actually tomorrow and I am sure it will be great, but I thought I'd talk about my favorite birthday(s) I've ever had. I thought I would be able to narrow it down to 1 but I just can't. I have a couple that stand out to me. My 10th birthday. Growing up we didn't have birthday parties with friends...
December is by far my favorite month of the year. Its my birthday month (December 5th!) and its Christmas! Now that I'm a teacher, I get half of December off so that's not too bad either. ;) Yesterday started the season of Advent. This is the time where we wait in anticipation for Christ. A lot of people think that the end goal...

Public Service Announcement: I LOVE STOCKING STUFFERS! My mom is the ultimate stocking stuffer queen. Its not all candy and toothbrushes in there. One year I got perfume, movies, jewelry, makeup, and my beloved Victoria's Secret underwear all in one stocking. I aspire to be like her one day. Thought I'd give you a few ideas on some stocking stuffers this holiday season....
I have so many things to be thankful for. I most certainly do not recognize them enough. So with Thanksgiving being this week, I thought I've give ya a little something to hopefully get you thinking about what you have to be thankful for. 1. First and foremost, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for the sacrifice that he...

So I was trolling pinterest the other day {like I hardly ever do. HA. today is opposite day.} and I saw this really cute picture and thought...what a great future post to blog about. So here it goes... 1. I would lead worship. I LOVE to sing and I have always wanted to be able to sing good enough to make the worship...
I'm sorry if you are one of those people that says "no Christmas before Thanksgiving" because I am wanting Christmas everything lately! Its all I can do not to decorate my house and sing Christmas carols all day long. {actually I have been making my students listen to Christmas music for about 2 weeks. Oops...} I think I may actually decorate this weekend....

You can see what I wrote on her blog HERE. Her blog is so amazing. She posts regularly about life, faith, decorating fun, advice, and just all around humorous stuff....
I have a LOT of pinterest pins. Like a lot. And if you're anything like me, they are {somewhat} organized. Most of the time I see my boards and think "why didn't I split this board up into 4 subcategories (yes, I just said that...I'm type A...) A couple of months ago, I started pinning to a board called "Wishlist". Pretty self explanatory....
Long time no blog post. I have been MIA & incredibly busy! Lots of house updates & teacher fun. Today's post is brought you by the fact that our guest room #1 (aka the grey room) is almost done!!
