This past month, I had the opportunity to vacation/survive in India. It was our first time going as a family of four. My husband and I went 15 years ago, a few months after we were married, to meet the extended family. This time, we were going with our kids, and planned several stops within […]
Last week, we found a littler of baby bunnies buried in our flower bed. My dog had been sniffing around a certain spot and when he began digging, he unearthed this group of babies, huddled together, their eyes still closed. We managed to transplant them to another area where they could grow undisturbed. We have […]
Today was my day off. When you imagine having a day off, what do you see? A long, leisurely cup of coffee? A good workout? A nap? Watching a movie? Those are all delightful things. However, that is not at all what my day off looks like… I usually have a list of things that […]
“Be the woman who fixes another woman’s crown and doesn’t tell the world that it was crooked” I ran across this quote several months ago. I loved it so much that I posted it on the wall in my closet where I can see it everyday. I love the thought that as children of God, […]
In the New Testament, we read several incidents where Jesus cast out demons. As He approached these individuals, the demons inside of them would cry out to Jesus by name or identify Him as the son of God, begging for mercy. Mark 3:11 (NLT) tells us that Jesus didn’t even have to approach these demons […]
This week, I am going to give you a peek behind my screen… For the last few months, I have had a hard time hearing from God. Nothing in my life has really changed- I still have my quiet time in the morning. I still have my worship music blasting in my car. I’m not back […]
My kids love helping in the kitchen. Well, scratch that. They really love helping in the kitchen when it’s something that THEY want to eat- usually desserts but sometimes dinner. When they hear me start to prep, they run into the kitchen (especially my daughter) , frantically asking “Can I help? Can I help??” (I […]
I have been re-arranging my kitchen. Here’s the background: I have lived in this home for almost 11 years. On the day that we moved in, my wonderful cousin unpacked my kitchen and set it up for me. It was amazing. She has an incredible knack for organization and workflow. It was perfect. It was a […]
Warning: This is completely my opinion. Recently, I was talking to a friend of mine about decorating our homes for Christmas. She has had her decorations up since early November, and I was jealous as my decorations didn’t go up until the day after Thanksgiving. We agreed on how seeing the decorations made us so […]
This Monday morning, when I turned on the news, they were discussing the synagogue shooting . It’s just unfathomable that this continues to happen in our country. To try and put a happier spin on things, the newscasters were asking people a question: “How can you spread love today?” People were responding via Facebook and Twitter […]
Give Thanks
My sister, Binu, has referred to herself as the “Thank You Police”, no matter how big or small the deed. Well, maybe it runs in the family, because I am a bit of a "Thank You"
