My Fav Quote from Brenden

"Why do lazy people always claim to be perfectionists?"

Camping June 10

There is nothing like camping in the PNW. We love it!

Hard Times

We've hit some hard times professionally. Financially, we are hanging in there but the down-turn economy is bearing its weight on us. I know that some of you will nod in understanding while others will thank God (or your karma or your lucky stars) that you don't understand. But I thank God for these hard times. It's through times like these that I see the strength of my marriage. It's through times like these that I realize how much I trust and love my husband. It's through times like these that my faith is strengthened. No, I will not thank God for what He has spared me, I will thank Him for what He was brought me through. It is an honor.

Excellent Reminder

"Keep life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have for He has said, 'Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.' So we have confidence to say 'The Lord is my helper, I will not fear.'" Hebrews 13:5-6

Homemade and healthy

Toppings: mushrooms, green pepper, tomatoes, and I used some spinach, basil, and rosemary from our own garden!

Whole wheat dough

A very curious pup!

Ready for the oven (I used fresh mozz, just love it)

So delicious!

New Project

Can't wait to get started! Stay tuned for the finished product!

More Sewing

I am trying my hand at writing my own patterns. I started with something simple like a bib with a crumb catching pocket for Jax. I made a set in an adorable elephant print.

I need to finish them with a Velcro fastener and then they are ready for Mr. Jax to try on!
