Giving Thanks for Our Littles.

Today's prayer for our little one/s Thankfulness.

Today my little nephew Bleier is having his first birthday party, and I am so excited, I can not wait to get there and celebrate. First birthday parties have such a special place in my heart- that's another story for another day. For today thought we are just going to be thankful for our little guys.

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for each one of our children. Each one you knew before even we did, before the world. You knew them and love them. You have entrusted us with each little life and have perfectly matched us up. We will teach them things about them, and they will teach us thing about ourselves. Thank you for each of their little lives. May you cover each child today with your loving hand, and make your presence known to them. <3 Thank you for the special place you have for children, your special love for them. We ask these things in your name- Amen

The adorable baby B. Fast asleep and only a few days old. <3 what a wonderful little guy to celebrate.

Holiday Deliciousness!

One thing that I love for the holidays and have started as a tradition for my own family is homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch. Now, don't get me wrong, they take a LONG time, and I am not getting up at 3:00 am just so we can have cinnamon rolls. So, I searched the internet for some amazing overnight cinnamon rolls, and I came up with 3 recipes that I combined to make my own holiday morning cinnamon rolls. The rolls themselves come from the William's Sanoma Overnight Cinnamon Rolls recipe. Ingredients: For the dough: 1 Tbs. (1 package) active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (105°F) 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed 4 eggs 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp. kosher salt 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 Tbs. ground cinnamon Directions: To make the dough, in the bowl of a stand ...

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Hello! I am not sure where to start, but my heart has really been praying about my blog lately and my thoughts and feelings on trying to revive it. I decided, its going to happen, and I am going to go back to where my heart was with this years ago...on praying for my (our) children. I see this school year opening and my heart wants to just pray pray pray for my children as they enter the world. A new school year started today and I have the privilege of working at the same school where my oldest daughter Arcadia attends. Our relationship has grown tremendously since she and I have been together. I get to see first hand the struggles of a high school student. What an incredibly scary place to be, but then again, each age presents its own scary situations. If you know me, you know that I have 4 children. Arcadia is 16 and a junior in high school, Eireland is in 8th grade, Tristan is in 5th grade and Phoenix is in 2nd grade. I am trying to raise world changers and what better place...

My Home Away From Home! <3

So, here is the deal- I work 70+ hours in a week, this is spread out between 2 jobs. (and usually, 2-3 outfit changes through out the day...no, I'm not kidding.) Yesterday as I was rushing, ok, let's be real, I was in 5:30 traffic trying to get across town, anyhow, I was rushing from one job to the next...I was sitting in my car eating my dinner, which was pretty awesome; peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Keebler Elf cookies, a Baggie of carrot sticks, an apple and peanut butter straight from the container with a spoon. I felt a little lonely, driving, eating my dinner and listening to some music. Now, let me tell you about my home away from home, aka my car, and the type of relationship we have. I hop in at 7:00 am, usually I'm finishing some type of breakfast, oatmeal, a beagle, whatev, but ALWAYS iced coffee. We drop the kids off and blast some music to wake me up a little more- just incase the coffee failed for the day. We hang out until 7:45 when I get to work- m...
