Relief, Doing Weird Things, and Skincare Routines

The relief I feel when a big baking order is out the door is the best! Three dozen brownies, three dozen chocolate chip cookies, two dozen peanut butter cookies (with a chocolate drizzle!), and three dozen happy birthday Oreos left our house and I slumped with relief!

That was probably the biggest order I’ve had since Dakota was born and I did it. Woo hoo! (more…)

Catching Up and Growing Up

I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever! Life has been extra full lately. Some of the fun stuff we have going on:

  • We’re hosting Friday night Bible studies at our house for the next several weeks.
  • Jimmy and I are taking a marriage class together.
  • I’m helping to get a homeschool co-op started for the beginning of next school year.
  • I’m studying and preparing a Bible study for the mom’s group at our church.
  • We’ve been bringing Jimmy’s step sister to church with us!

Add to that list the usual stuff I do: real estate work, homeschooling Sadie, caring for our five month old baby, housekeeping, laundry, and cooking. No wonder blogging has fell to the wayside a bit lately!
