I heart Sundays

By -
Sunday is my favorite day of the week. Its the most relaxing, its filled with God & family and I love that even though not everyone starts the day off with Worshipping God at church, it still seems to be a "down" day for everyone. Our neighbors are always found out on their porches, shootin' the breeze, the kids playing baseball in the street, people watering their lawns, acting like its the most strenuous thing they've done all day, and the yummy food we always seem to eat on Sundays. I think I enjoy cooking more when I'm more relaxed. Chocolate chip cookies and lemon squares are on our counter today... for no good reason, other than our week was relaxing and I experimented with some new recipes. Jason loves weeks like that :-) 


I enjoyed being at church this morning. Due to being sick before our trip to California, then being in California for 2 weeks and then coming home and getting sick again... I haven't been to our church since Mother's Day. We stopped for Pad Thai on the way home. Tried to talk ourselves out of it {don't ask why, its such a dumb thing to do} and it seemed extra yummy today. Perfectly hot, perfectly spicy, perfectly tasty. I need to give them a good review on Yelp. 
We have some friends over for the beef stew and grilled cheese sandwiches we'll be eating for dinner. We're all getting way too competitive in our wii game; its amazing we all continue being friends after such heated games ;-) 
And even though the weather isn't cooperating in perfect summer-like fashion {its only 73 degrees outside} I'm thankful we're not sitting here in 100+ degree weather - my sympathies to those of you back in our old hometown. Plus, I love any excuse to try a new beef stew recipe, which smells divine by the way. 


I'll leave you with the recipe. I got it off allrecipes.com, so go to this link and you'll find it. Enjoy the week ahead, everyone!

Sundays are my favorite too. Worship, fellowship, family time make the day so special to me.

And thanks for the recipe. I'll save it to try when it cools down here in a few months..... :-)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
