One of my simple pleasures:
Stove-popped popcorn and tea with my husband as we wind down for the night.


On my bedside table:

On my TV:

Homemaking Tip for this week:
When I make homemade pesto, I freeze it in an ice cube tray and put the cubes in a ziplock bag to use
when I make pasta. I also freeze cubes of chicken broth.


Lesson learned the past few days:
Turning 25 is not as scary as I thought!

On my Prayer List:
My brother-in-law. He is 29 and had a stroke last week which made him lose full control of his legs :( They discovered a hole in his heart that he has had since birth, which cause a blood clot in his brain which ultimately caused the stroke. Very sad and very scary :(


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Okay, I'm convicted. I really need to take time out to read my bible. I didn't have a second to myself last weekend, and I missed church. again. sigh...
