Prayers For a Busy Day.

Today, in our home, we have lots that we each need to accomplish. Chores, cleaning, laundry. You name it, it's happening in our home. Sometimes when we have a lot to do, the ugliness comes out in our personalities. Ok, I admit it, MY personality, and then I set the tone for the day. Not only do we have a lot to accomplish, we also have lots of football we want to watch and also church in the evening. So today, my prayer is for busy days, and for our personalities to all mesh and to work towards a common goal. <3 

Thank you Lord for Sundays, a wonderful beautiful opportunity to celebrate you. Thank you for creating little helpers in our children, each of our Littles can be helpers in different ways. I pray that you help our personalities work smoothly together as we have much to accomplish today. I pray that you enable me with words of encouragement for my guys instead of harsh angry words of frustration. I pray we will work well and work for the good of our family and each pitch in, instead of looking out for our own individual needs and wants. I pray that we have an opportunity to play just as hard as we need to
work today. I ask that you watch over a each of us, especially our little ones as we navigate the day. In your name I ask these things.  Amen. 

This is a photo of Phoenix the last time we we're getting things done around the house. I know it's a bit fuzzy, but this moment was too adorable not to capture. He was playing 'armies' and this was his bunker. I'm hoping we get more toys picked up today than we did this day. 


And this is me cleaning out my parents garage. I tend to get a little...ok, a LOT weird. I had found my sister's bridesmaids dress that we had worn in my sister Jenna's wedding, so I thought, sure, why not put this bad boy on and keep cleaning. So, I did. :)

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...
