Baking, Luna, and Lolly

 I have so much fun dipping strawberries for people! Blake helps too! Please, don't ever hesitate to ask if you need some! Thanks again for reading and enjoying random bits :). This week I made some strawberries for a co-worker of my sister's. This was my first batch of chocolate on chocolate...dark and milk. mmmm
 So, THIS IS HUGE! I've always been a fan of Pampered Chef, I couldn't be more excited about this gadget! I get strange looks when I try to explain this product by using hand gestures, so here are some pictures! The great thing about their products is that the majority of them help make life a little simpler. For instance, this beautifully awkward looking "salad chopper." It's name isn't very accurate... and of course, it doesn't just chop salad! You can chop meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, you name it! Can you imagine? The next time you make a chicken casserole, you won't have to shred the chicken by hand!! Or, the next time your husband makes you a pizza with bacon on it (in case you missed it, click HERE) he won't have to tear the bacon bits up by hand. Yes, my wonderful husband enjoys cooking dinner from time to time with fresh, smell-up-the-house bacon. I made Blake come into the kitchen so he could see how this thing works. He came, saw, and stated, "I love you" and giggled. hahaa Click HERE to purchase online. If the website asks you to name a Pampered Chef representative then you can choose Kebel Nugent  from Lebanon, TN. :)
 I also got a new apron for my birthday! Blake's sweet Mamaw and Papaw picked out the cutest apron! (Thank you so much!) It looks sooo good hanging up as the newest star of my cute apron selection, just inside the pantry. It will be reserved for cookies and cakes only! Now, if we could just get little Luna to stop chasing the apron strings...sweet puppy. Which reminds me, she's grown seven pounds in three weeks! 
 We have a hose...another benefit of being a homeowner! "Caroline, come see this...(uncontrollable laughter) Lu loves the water..."
 preparing her next attack on the hose...
 "set me free!" "I am not going to babysit this intruder any longer!"
 It's so fun taking Luna on a walk! I've never had a dog before so the experience was a first for me this week. From taking her on a walk, I now have met every child under the age of twelve in our neighborhood! From blocks away they flock to this beautiful pup, "hey lady, can I play with your dooooog????" They come on bikes, scooters, skates, and by foot to pet what they call a chocolate lab. I guess we're blind? She's definitely black! ahahahaa It's pretty sweet to meet little faces that may or may not have the happiest home. We never know what divine appointments the day has for us.

 the prettiest, sweetest kitty ever! Oh, and Mr. Cow, the milk pourer.

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
