Blessed Peacemakers, Sassy side-takers

October 31, 2011 The Good Word

Ever get a song stuck in your head you don’t know the lyrics to? Please say it’s not just me. It seems like the songs that I don’t know the words to are the songs that are hardest to get out of my head. Can you remember a song with the lyric, “Cos Breaking Up [...]

On Thursday, I spoke a little bit about Making Your Christmas Decisions Now — and I hope that my words didn’t feel like a whole lot of talk about what you should cut out of your holiday, without much talk about what you should put into it. There was one more thing I wanted to [...]

Hey Guys and Gals. I have several important things to tell you. 1. I tried this Baked Chicken with Peaches recipe this week and it was super easy and really good. The chicken breasts are so ginormous here that I only used four (and halved the rest of the recipe) and still had chicken left [...]

The Hubs has taken some B-E-A-UT-Tee-full photos over the past few months. In my humble opinion. But I haven’t shared too many of them here because, well, we been kinda busy and I haven’t gone fishing through his iPhoto library for a while.
