When I was in high school, some brilliant person (heavy sarcasm) on the student council thought it would be a great idea to sell carnations for Valentine’s day. For several days you could make your way up the to the STUCO table, amidst watching and wandering eyes, and purchase a carnation for the person of […]
The Church, Unity, and IF
For as long as I can remember, this passage in Acts has captivated me. I remember stumbling upon it later in my teenage years and just reading it over and over, trying to figure out what to do with the words. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking […]
Russian culture night and Borscht recipe
So you know that feeling when you spend 3 hours making something and photographing the process, and then your demon possessed camera deletes all of those pictures? Well, I hope you don’t, and if you did, I’d make you a chocolate cake…because it seems like that should help. Praise God for iPhones! We’ve been getting […]
Olympics Culture Tour and Menu Plan
It’s Olympics week! This girl is pumped. Which is a bit funny to me now, because when I was a kid I remember hating when the Olympics came on. All the adults wanted to do was watch all these boring or weird sports and it seemed to last FOR-EVER. I think my perspective changed once […]
Roast Chicken and a White Wine, Lemon, Dijon sauce (GF option)
Sometimes, you just want comfort. Like leggings, you can dress them up, or dress them down, but no matter what’s on with them, it’s comfort. I think roast chicken is the food equivalent to leggings. On a rushed weeknight, you can throw on salt and pepper, and have a one pan dish in an hour […]
Let it Go
I tend to be a black and white sort of person. While I see a lot more gray in the world that I used to (and am grateful for this!), I still tend to view and speak in absolutes. Which makes me sound pretty stupid a lot, and gets me in a lot of trouble […]
Seasons…a time to mourn
I’ve always loved the biblical analogy of seasons in climate to seasons in life. I love that Jesus knows we are going to go through highs and lows, and instead of trying to explain it lofty phrases he relates it to something we get to see every year and have first hand experience with. There […]
Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
It seems fitting that the first recipe I share here, is this one. This recipe is one near and dear to my heart, and like most really great recipes that tickle the taste buds and the heart strings, is from my grandmother. There were a fair amount of food regulations and restrictions in my home […]
Public Service Announcement: noonday sale!
I love noonday collection. If you’re not familiar with them, you can read more about them here. I love buying from places that doesn’t support slavery of any sort. Even more, I love supporting businesses that are directly trying to combat slavery. All that to say, they have some VERY cute items, and they are […]
Beginning
This past year I have felt God pressing on me to get back to writing. I have had a blog off and on, and written here and there, but with no regularity. It’s an outlet, helps me process, and it’s a way of sharing and (hopefully!) encouraging or helping others. I felt this press […]
