I LOVE my 5 Dollars Dinners cookbook. A lot of the recipes use basic ingredients that I usually have on hand. The author, Erin Chase, believes that eating healthier means eating fewer processed foods. The book has many bread recipes. One way she suggests saving money is by baking your own bread. A hot French [...]
Watching my girl play in the backyard by herself for the first time. She wanted “to go play!” She even put her strappy sandals on all by herself. Little Brother wants to go out and play too but he might eat a lizard or something so I can’t let him out there without my eagle [...]
Amanda and I have been enjoying the first season of the sitcom “Community”. We love it’s witty writing, character development, and obscure pop-culture references. After the first few episodes of the show, and while The Office was in a writing slump, I formally disavowed the Michael Scott Variety (half) Hour for the funny new kid [...]

About two weeks ago Daniel left for a 10 day trip to help with a Pastor’s conference in the Philippines. Unbeknownst to him I was planning a surprise bedroom makeover while he was gone. In almost 5 years of living in this house we never even once hung anything on our bedroom walls. We lived [...]
In an effort to blog more I downloaded the WordPress for iPhone app to see how easy/dificult it is to use. So far I am impressed by the features and responsiveness of the app. The geotagging feature is nice. I’ll try to add a photo from my recent Philippines trip next. The photo add from [...]
