The Encounter
I look forward to going home someday, until then I am so blessed to call Colorado my home on earth. I often dream of living other places, but really I cannot imagine living any place more beautiful and full of wonder.
Hiking will always make me feel close to God. You can see God’s love for beauty. From rivers, rocks, trees and animal [...]
2014 Stampin’ Up! Convention ...
Our travel day started oh so early! Woke up at 4:00 AM, we all met at Jen’s at 5:00 AM and Stef graciously drove us to Denver for our ubber-early flight. This kind of early is even too early with coffee, seriously! But, it was totally and entirely (redundant, I know) worth it.
Our journey to Salt Lake was perfect! Every little detail wa [...]
Summer 2014 – Concerts, Travels...
Whew! Back from a great trip, thinking back on it all, fondly.
If you know me at all, you know how hard it is for me to be away from my family. This year was no exception and probably was even a bit harder for this girl. Why? You may or may not wonder, but I am gonna tell you. Ha! This particular trip always falls on two very special birthday [...]
Fun times at the Sand Dunes
Sum, Sum, Summer time………..
Summer holds a dear place in my heart because I get to spend more time with my family. I enjoy the more relaxed schedules, the sleeping in a bit later, staying up a bit later and our little getaways.
I cannot imagine doing life without my best friend and our two little minions (and their friends). [...]
My Dinner Nearly Killed Me.
I know so many people in the same boat as Kip and I; trying to figure out what causes us to not feel like we should. This journey has been so educational and pushed me to make some amazing changes that I still embrace.
In doing more research this week, I felt I was validated when I read an article about truly knowing and listening to your bod [...]
Mother-Daughter
Ezekiel 16:44 “As is the mother, so is her daughter.”
Moms are the best teachers and trainers in a child’s early life. There is no greater legacy for a woman than to have been blessed with a loving matriarchal lineage.
It is truly a blessing to have one on one time with each of my gifts. February was a particularly fun month [...]
New Years Eve…..FUN!
In all of my years I have never really enjoyed big New Year’s Eve celebrations. It always seemed like a lot of hooplah or an excuse for people to drink and eat way too much. I am a hang at home, play games with the family, eat fondue kind of girl. That is how we have celebrated with our kids and have loved it. However, this past year, a [...]
Happy 2014
In March!
Did someone give the clock a whirl? How is it possible that we are already into the third month of this new year? Mister Time, could you, would you, please do this momma a favor and slow down. I can hardly catch my breath. My once toddlers are teetering on the brink of tweens and teens. Oh my heart, I am so not good at this, [...]
Wednesday’s Wonderful Smoothie
In an effort to get more nutrients into my sweet peeps diets, I have been embracing the lure of smoothies. I mean, who wouldn’t rather have a smoothie over a salad, right?
I know that Kip and I have enjoyed getting creative with our fruit and veggies. Frequently, I will gather a concoction of ingredients and work them so that they are [...]
Native American Day (3rd grade)
Oh what fun!!
Fry bread, berries, jerky, beans, corn, squash AND they get to dress up. What a fun way to learn about the Anasazi & Inuit tribes.
One of my favorite activities other than the yummy food was the “story book skin” they were able to make. What a creative way to show how they were able to communicate with each oth [...]
