Hello Friends! Today I am thankful for the police force keeping our streets safe. Unfortunately, I was the one being unsafe on the interstate…speeding to church. The irony is not lost on me, friends. It’s so silly…I was blow drying my hair, which I never do. And my hair takes FOR-E-VER to blow dry…but…
Thanksgiving 2012
Hello Friends! I took a surprisingly small amount of photos this holiday….okay I took some, but seriously, remember last Thanksgiving?? Lots of pictures…like this sweet one! My sis Rachel and I hung out the night before to do some baking and like last year…she didn’t really do much of anything except be a goofball. What…
{Thankful Thursday Link-up #3} #30daysofthanks
Hello Friends! I’ve surprisingly kept up with this challenge. Surprising because I keep almost forgetting about it…which kind of defeats the purpose of meditating all day on the thing I’m thankful for…but I think focusing on the good at all is a step in the right direction! Getting my natural cynicism to turn around to…
{WIAW #47} Leftover Chili’s
Hello Friends! It’s Wednesday! Another WIAW! {What I Ate Wednesday} (More info here!) Food is like gold around my house these days. I will be moving to the city where I go to school soon, so this means that I will have to pay rent, utilities, buy all the little things that the Daddio bought…
{Recipe Round-Up} What to Take to Thanksgiving
Hello Friends! Are you a host or an invader? This is the question I overheard someone asking at school the other day while talking about Thanksgiving break.

{WIAW #46} Semi-Healthy Weekend
This is how I balance life. I call it “semi-healthy.”
Whole Wheat Chocolate-Peanut Chip Oat Cookies
Hello Friends! Now say this 10 times fast! Yes, it’s a long name for a cookie, but I have so many cookie recipes that I really need to get more specific. I wanted to name them semi-healthy delights, but will I remember what exactly that means a year from now when I’m looking for the…
What Can *I* Do? Hurricane Sandy Relief
Dear Friends, I live in Nebraska, so although I have seen the devastation of hurricane Sandy on the news…it really doesn’t seem real. I don’t know anyone there, so I haven’t heard any personal accounts. It’s almost (almost) easy to pretend that it’s not real…kind of like how I like to ignore most of the…
