You would do yourself a favor to go to Lisa TerKeurst's's site and read today's post. It is so encouraging...and reminds me of why I blog, journal, the whole nine yards...because one of the greatest things we can do is write. So go read it...be blessed.

(P.S. VBS day 1...a success...4 more to go!)

I Found It!!

http://anapronaday.blogspot.com/ here's the blog with all the fabulous aprons!!!

And next week is VBS...I'm trying to look forward to it but so far all I feel is under prepared. I have something I want to blog about next week and a book to give away...here's hoping I can work my plan!

I Want One Of These....

If anyone knows where I snagged this image last year (I didn't save the site, just the image) I so heart this apron...I don't know why I am falling more and more in love with all things 50's...but I am and I want one of these...anyway, the blog this was posted on is all about aprons...so if you know which one please pass it on to me...I forget!

We're Back...and Busy

We got back yesterday and immediately went to washing clothes and you know the drill....we came back a day early because...

DH/Pastor is preaching a funeral today.
We left for our trip knowing we might very well be possibly coming back early for just that reason.

We've been at this church only a year and a half and have lost 3 people in death...I admire and respect my husband so much on days like today...I know they are so hard on him...our pastor back home assures us it doesn't get any easier.....that's comforting. Not.

I am at home preparing for VBS which starts Monday...I am trying not to feel overwhelmed with all there is to do...and since July 4th is gone, I know its a matter of days before Walmart starts stuffing the shelves with back to school stuff....and frankly I am not ready.

I am enjoying the next couple of weeks (post VBS that is) of mental vacation before I start back to school as well....

But that is post VBS...so I gotta get back after it. Break is over!

This is Where I Take a Bloggy Break...

Going to Mississippi to see the fam this weekend..spend the 4th...sing some karaoke....enjoy some hometown and old friends at our home church....so I'll likely be having too much to blog.

But I promise to take lots of pictures.

Happy 4th of July.
See you Monday!

Identity Crisis

Sometimes I go through blogging identity crisis.
I read helpful information about growing your blog traffic and such....and one of the first things "they" seem to recommend is know what kind of blog you are....don't try to be a cooking blog, a devotional blog, a decorating blog, a parenting blog, etc....

but....I like all those things. I DO all those things....

and if I am sharing my heart and thoughts about things...it's gonna cover all of those things and more......

It's gonna be a hodge podge of ideas and revelations.
It's gonna be whatever crosses my little mind that day.
It's gonna reflect whatever God is doing in my heart during that season.

So I can not put my blog in a box just like I can't put me in a box. I am changing. Ever evolving in to who God created me to be. I am learning new skills (decorating) and sharing some of my recipe love! And if people read all this....I am so glad....if they don't....that's fine too.

Cause I'm me....and sometimes that "me" is a complicated, jumbled up bunch of hodge podge stuff....and this medium helps reflect it.....identity crisis averted ;)

Changes....

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes....so yummy, filling and non-guilt producing....the recipe can be found over at Recipezaar....



And I couldn't squeeze in an hour yesterday...had unexpected company show up.....but I did manage 40 minutes...ran maybe 6 of them....I am gaining a new respect and admiration for you running folks....you're my heros!
