I am back at my desk after some fun in the sun down south. No matter how great a vacation is, coming home to one’s own bed is wonderful! I try to be content wherever I happen to be, but I absolutely love being home. Do you find you are most settled at home? I […]
Everything Else
Less Than Perfect by Ann Spangler: Book Review
How many times do you have to read the same story in the Bible in order to remember it, learn from it, and write it on your heart? For me, I have spent a lifetime reading the inspired Word of God. And no matter how many times I may read about the men and women […]

Under New Ownership
Have you ever seen a sign that says under new ownership and thought, “I wonder what the old owner did to lose it?” If not, maybe it’s just me, but I always think something must have gone wrong. It may be our human nature to think negative. But new ownership doesn’t always mean something negative must […]
Don’t Hit That Delete Button!
Former Community Bible Study Executive Director, Camila Seabolt, is known for saying, “When you are walking with the Lord, change is always in your favor.” Her words have resonated with me through the years and I have come to fully believe and understand the truth of never fearing change when the Lord is with me. […]
Stop Blogging, Start Writing
Seven years ago on June 4, 2011, I wrote my first blog post. As blog posts go it was fairly pathetic! I didn’t have a picture of the Asian Slaw but I was so anxious to get a post written I didn’t care. Sometime later I corrected my photo mistake and added a picture and […]
Avocado Brownies
That’s right. You heard me. Avocado BROWNIES. My initial reaction was, “gross… I have to try these!” And when I did, they were surprisingly fudgy and delicious! I have mentioned before how I have an addiction to chocolate. I’m not kidding… chocolate addiction is very real and very serious, kids. Indulge responsibly. I’m on the […]
Valentine DIY
I co-teach the kindergarten Sunday School class with my boyfriend, Tim. We usually have a plethora of personalities to keep us busy, but this week a lot of people were sick. We only had one little girl named Amelia. She’s as sweet as can be and usually really shy. However, this week we got her […]

Edible Nashville Farm Dinner
On October 21st I was privileged to participate in Edible Nashville‘s second Farm Dinner. It was a gorgeous, picture perfect day to appreciate the untainted countryside at Katharos Farm in Columbia Tennesee. I was invited to help with this fantastic feast because I had emailed the editor, Jill Melton, about possible opportunities with the magazine. She […]
Southern Living’s Skillet Caramel Apple Pie
Every once in a while I get out of the kitchen and make way for my Sous-chef dishwashing mom to create something wonderful! That is exactly what happened recently after she was leafing through the fall Southern Living magazine and came upon this recipe. The minute she saw it she knew it was meant for […]
Parmesan Baked Tomatoes
The frost is almost upon us! That means it’s time to harvest the herbs! I work at The Celtic Cup Coffee House in the small town of Tullahoma, Tennessee. I don’t have my own herb garden, but The Celtic Cup does. I love getting to use the fresh herbs when I bake quiches, casseroles, and […]
