Happy Easter everyone!! I hope you all had a lovely weekend with family and friends and were able to enjoy an encouraging Easter Sunday service at church! We certainly did! We spent Saturday hunting eggs, eating too much candy and preparing for Sunday. Sunday we had a wonderful morning beginning with the BEST homemade cinnamon [...]
It's nearly Easter and while I've yet to figure out what we're going to eat for our celebratory Easter lunch, I've got the girls' Easter baskets ready to stuff with goodies from us and their grandparents! Easter has always been a big deal in my family, as well as my husband's. Growing up, Easter was [...]

Not to mention blossoms, sunshine and finally getting out of the house after a winter of hiding out indoors. I'm ready [...]
This was going to be a totally different post but as I began researching the origins of Valentine's day I inadvertently tumbled down a rabbit hole and quite frankly, was shocked. My initial questions were; where did Valentine's day originate from, why do we celebrate it now, and are we truly honoring the traditional meaning [...]
