February has always been a bit of a rough month in spite of its fewer days… My timehop and on this day entries seem to witness some passionate celebrations of love and friendship in the midst of a lot of struggle- February is a cold miserable time back east (well, it is for those like me who hate the cold) Continue reading
The Cupcake Theory of Love
I have been surprisingly exhausted all week… plus, it’s that time of year (Lent) where I do some more personal journaling about sin, prayer, etc. all sorts of things that don’t usually end up online but are really good for me.

Cooking #6: Meatless Monday Duo
I have two delicious meatless recipes for you today. The first is a full meal and the second is great for a snack. A few weeks ago a fellow mom friend of mine mentioned this recipe and that it was one of her favorites and I have been looking forward to making it ever since. It’s quick, easy, delicious, and will be a great thing to bring to rehearsals with me since it isn’t a hot meal! Continue reading

C is for Choices…
I have talked a little bit about how this month has been about choices regarding how we will spend our time and money this year and how we are already seeing some of those choices fall into place. Continue reading
Nostalgia, or, my life is awesome
So… I have been working on various ways of chronicling this month. I am in the process of creating a Shutterfly book (because really you can’t beat free and I have a free one about to expire), keeping up with the Project Life app to document the day to day of this year, and I just started a physical project life kit to catch up on scrapbooking photos from our belated honeymoon we took to Italy a few years ago.
