Happy Election Day! My favorite quote from today is "it's ok to love those who vote differently than you." That sounds like something Jesus would say, because it all comes back to love. I'm blessed to be able to have my vote counted in this election, and although I've not taken that privilege ser…

What. A. Month. If I had known beforehand what October 2024 was going to be like for me, I would have probably crawled into a hole to hide away. I still feel like that’s a choice, but I have too many people counting on me to actually try to “get away.” Blogtober was a fun escape for a while, but life caught up with me…

My first ever monthly challenge was in 2011. It was called Blogtober, obviously, and I had to post every day for thirty days. My posts were not always written ones.

If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that a good plan doesn’t always equal success. On the other hand, no plan at all always leads to zero growth. Some of my best made plans didn’t fall into place as I hoped they would, but I’m proud of myself for putting in the time and effort to try no matter how big or small the …

You guessed it! Today's post is all about my favorite pumpkin recipes of the season. I’m sharing one of my most loved and kid approved pumpkin bread recipes, my momma’s pumpkin french toast, and a new recipe for soft and pumpkin spicy cookies with cream cheese icing from scratch. Watch me make my favorite pumpkin …
