Senior year is full of rushing around, prom, college prep, and so many exciting things. I think for my kids one of the most bittersweet things about their senior years was all the senior recognition nights. It's bittersweet because they've worked so hard to get there and it's exciting but also because it signifies the end of high school. For us, it was years of basketball, softball and volleyball games, but also at church years of acting in dramas for one of my children. There will tons of smiles and maybe even some tears. Everyone wants their senior night to be a memorable, special event that they will always remember and after helping to plan several of them over the years, I want ... read more

Farmer’s Market Squash Casserole
It's the end of summer and I bet you're wondering what to do with all of that squash? I have an idea! Make a squash casserole. I promise you'll like it and it's a great way to use up some of that squash you have in the fridge. I just bought a bunch of squash from the farmer's market and I was trying to think about what to do with it, besides fry it (my favorite) and I remembered this recipe. It's been so long since I made a squash casserole that my kids didn't think they'd ever had it. That's way too long to go without making one, so I decided that I would definitely make it. This recipe is based on an old recipe I had found years ago in a vintage church cookbook that was given to me ... read more
Getting Started with Children’s Drama Ministry
Drama ministry is one of my absolute favorite things! It can be crazy stressful, fun, silly, eye-rolling, frustrating and a huge blessing all at the same time. It is my happy place. At least one of my happy places! But, if you've never done drama ministry or you're looking to start a drama ministry or do a children's Christmas play, this is the place! First things first! Pray about it. Pray about the direction you should go, pray about talking to your pastor, parents, the children, etc. Then go talk to your pastor about your desire to start a children's drama ministry or that you'd like to do a children's Christmas play. You may want to have the following information: Have an ... read more
Apple Pie
I love apple pie! When summer starts to wind down and everyone is screaming for pumpkin spice, I'm screaming for apple anything. Don't get me wrong. I love pumpkins, but I'm crazy about apples! I have been craving an apple pie and thankfully we just had our fall church picnic early and it gave me the perfect excuse to make an apple pie. Making an apple pie is so easy, most pies are, that there's no reason that anybody can't make one. Everyone can make a pie! If I can make a pie then you can too. The scariest thing is probably the crust, and if you're really freaked out about making your own, then buy a premade crust. There is no shame in buying a premade. I've done tons of time ... read more
A little update and I have a surprise!
It's a been a crazy few months this summer! I had to take a short break from blogging to focus on life a little bit. Over the summer, we've had two more surgeries in our house. My husband had rotator cuff surgery (his second one) and my son had his very first and hopefully his last surgery ever to remove a bone and reroute tendons in his foot. My life is never boring and I should have gone to med school! We've also been crazy busy doing 12 week VBS at our church on Sunday mornings. It was a blast! It was Toy Story Themed and I'll be posting pics soon and sharing more about what we did. But if you're interested, click here to see the curriculum. Did I mention that we bought a ... read more
