Comfort food. That's what this recipe is all about. Travis loves cheesy potatoes, so he loves when I make this hash brown casserole. And so do I! I found this recipe on Nancy Creative. The problem was, and I have this problem with most recipes, it was a recipe for a whole family. A family of four or five people plus leftovers. Travis and I like to eat, definitely, but I really needed the recipe to be for just two. So I cut the recipe in half to fit our needs. And we still have leftovers! While I was editing these photos, I was getting so hungry. Just looking at it makes my mouth Continue Reading

More Bridal Shower Ideas
After we looked at the decorations, ate the delicious food and played some really fun games, which you read about in my first post, we did my favorite part of the whole shower. My hosts had asked each of the guests to bring an item that represented either a memory they had with me or of advice they wanted to give me. I didn't know anything about the shower before arriving, so I didn't know they had brought these items. Each woman stood up, displaying her item and telling me about a memory they had with me or a piece of advice they wanted to share. Each of these moments was so special. Some Continue Reading

Triple Mint Marshmallow Oreo Brownies
Sometimes I just get in the mood to cook/bake. I say sometimes, because other times I'm in the exact opposite mood. I'd rather do anything than cook or bake. But when you get something like Oreo brownies, I'm all about whatever it takes to make them so I can eat them! When I am in that in-the-kitchen-housewife-wearing-an-apron-kind-of-mood, I really like trying new recipes that I find on Pinterest. And I enjoy sharing the final product with friends, family and co-workers. And I think they enjoy it too! How delicious does that look?! Last summer, I tried what I'm calling Triple Mint Continue Reading
A Blessing
Remember when I wrote that post about my friend Ricci? How she is going on a journey around the world to spread the love of God? And remember how I asked you if you would consider financially supporting her? Well, Ricci had a total of $15,500 she needed to raise for this trip to 11 countries in 11 months. She had raised a total of $3,500 in order to meet her first deadline. Ricci was planning different fundraisers such as selling T-shirts or having a dinner with a raffle. She also wanted to speak at my mom's church, where I grew up going. This past weekend, she came and spent the weekend Continue Reading
