I have been on the lookout for whole grain breakfast recipes that are easy to make (so if you have a good one, please do post it!). My latest find is this oatmeal pancake recipe. You make the dry mix, keep it in the fridge and add the eggs, water, and oil when you’re ready to make a… Continue reading Oatmeal Pancake Recipe
On September 18th my twins, Joshua and Caleb turned ten years old. We celebrated with the entire family yesterday. So much fun. Wish I had more time to write about my little guys. Maybe later this week. In the meantime, this is the lego cake they requested – very specifically. It was easy and you… Continue reading Twins Turn Ten!

I read the Esther and Ruth commentary earlier this year and… Continue reading I Wanna Win!!!

Perhaps you recall the last pets we owned. A collection of innocent hermit crabs were brought to our home and lived what I believe must have about the most exciting (if somewhat exhausting) life a hermit crab could hope for. To know more, you can find their adventures recorded here and here. Well we have… Continue reading Heavens to Betsey Johnson (Duchess) Reyes
