Sometime last fall, Kelli invited me to be a part of a meal swap with four other girls. It was a success, so we’ve done it several times now since then. We all just make five casseroles/meals/soup/whatever and freeze them, one for each family. We all have kids, so we all try to [...]

I don’t really feel like rehashing September 11 on the blog today…I did this post last year with my recollection of the day.
Instead, I’d like to ask you to pray for this family, the Nevils. Jeremy enlisted in the Army 3 years ago, and 2 months ago, he was deployed to Afghanistan (his unit was [...]

No, not the show, silly…my cute SIL Heidi is the bachelorette, and Saturday night was her big night!
Here was my itinerary:
Friday, 11pm: Try to fall asleep despite kid-at-Christmas anticipation.
Saturday, 3am: Awakened by Bennett, who needed something random in the middle of the night; contemplate just getting up for the day. Change my mind.
4:30am: Wake [...]

Today is “applesauce day,” as I affectionately call it, where my friend Heather and I take about a bazillion apples (technically speaking, 4 bushels) and make applesauce to last throughout the year.
