Baylen’s been working on those pesky two year molars lately, and after a trip to the doctor today, it was confirmed that he also has a pretty raw throat. Poor little man. So tonight I made him a Strawberry Orange Julius to help his little throat feel better and soothe his sore gums. The past …
Emersyn’s Helmet
Hello again! Thanks for hanging with me as I’ve been away from the computer tending to my busy family! I’ve greatly missed blogging the last couple weeks, since it serves as such a therapeutic outlet for me.

Every Hour
Last week was a doozy of a week. It turns out it takes a lot of effort to get a household back to normal after being gone for 15 days with kids. We were welcomed back with loads of dirty laundry, dust mites, heaps of mail, long grass, you know how it is. And kids …

Cookie Dough Cream Cheese Freezer Pie
On a hot day like the one we’re having in Minnesota, I can’t think of much that sounds better than ice cream, or this ice cream type pie. The pie recipe comes from Jake’s mom, and is one of our very favorites. I’m a sucker for my oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough, so I added that, although …
Sunsets
One of my favorite things about our house is that it sits on top of a hill. When we look out our back windows we are able to see clear beyond the homes behind us. Each night as the day comes to an end, our eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful sunsets God paints …
