It’s Time to Eat!
One of my favorite times of the day comes in the moments after I call out from the kitchen, “Let’s Eat!” We all gather around the table and share a meal.

Oven-Roasted Pork Roast
February 17, 2016 By the time dinner rolls around, no one is looking to become the superstar.

Preparing dinner isn’t about receiving culinary accolades. It’s about surviving. Feeding the…
Fervent Book Review (and Book Giveaway!)
February 4, 2016 “Because this is war. The fight of your life.

I’m talking about sticks and rocks and other things that are intended to maintain their existence outside. Or…
This is the Day
December 8, 2015 In the midst of all of this holidaying, I got to do some celebrating of my own last week. Had myself a little birthday. Let me be honest. My guys. They spoiled me. I had a day to shop and do lunch and put all laundry on hold. We…
