I'm Possible
Called To Be MORE

Ever feel like it's just impossible? Its too high a goal? Too hard to accomplish? Too lofty a height? Too scary? Too big a thing for little old you. So you tell yourself its impossible, that you'll never touch those stars... Me too. All the time!


Happy Homemaker Monday
Simple Joys of Home

Welcome to another week everyone!   How was your weekend?  We took a trip to the library and had fun choosing books with the girls.


Book Quote Poster
Over The Apple Tree

Make personal, one-of-a-kind wall art by printing and framing your favorite quote, book passage, or music lyric.


Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups Recipe
Hello Creative Family

Today is such an exciting day for me. First of all… I’VE BEEN PUBLISHED IN A COOKBOOK FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!!!! Second, I’m going to share with you a delicious (and healthy) dark chocolate almond butter cups recipe from the book! These almond butter cups are the things that dreams are made of!


The Paradox of Mercy
My Life As An Adventure

I have been in need of so much mercy in my life. And I have never ever earned it.  Not even once.
I have received so much mercy in my life.  And often as I let it do its work in my parched soul, I have found myself filled with gratitude and shame.  Gratitude for the mercy, and shame for needing it.


THIN MINT CUPCAKES
 Just 2 Sisters

It's Girl Scout Cookie time! Stock up and make Thin Mint Cupcakes.

It’s that time of year when you can find Girl Scout Cookies just about anywhere. If the girl next store wasn’t selling them, head to your local mall or grocery store and you’ll will probably find a booth where you can purchase your favorites. Speaking of favorites, those darn Thin Mint Cookies are my weakness.


Coconut Almond Energy Bites
Simple and Savory

These tasty coconut almond energy bites are made with only 4 ingredients: medjool dates, almonds, coconut flakes and cacao powder.  They are nutritious snack when you are craving something sweet.
