My precious May


This morning I woke up and noticed our telephone blinking which means we had a message. I knew there wasn't a message when we went to sleep so figured either someone called really early in the morning or late at night. We keep our ringer off in our bedroom because we have been awakened too many Saturday mornings bright and early. :) Anyway, when I listened, it was May. She was so sweet and said she had come to some realizations on her mission trip and wanted to apologize for being negative lately and told me how much she loved me. She said lots more, too. Then I got a text message from her this morning that was so sweet. I ended up calling her and have been really on a high about her ever since. God is just so good! Macy could have been such a messed up child and just through God's grace, she is amazing girl who loves the Lord and has a great head on her shoulders. I am so proud of my 16 year old daughter. She has been wise beyond her years many times in life and I just love her to pieces. I was so thankful this morning to God for all He has done in her life. I have been praying lately and will continue to do so that God will give her an amazing husband who loves Him and loves and adores Macy. I want her to be smothered in LOVE!!! I prayed that she will have a man who is honest and that saves himself for her. I know that's hard to find these days but God can do it! I just so much want her to have joy and happiness in her marriage. I just beg God that she won't make the same mistakes I made. I love my baby girl! As much as I love her, God loves her a million times more and I trust Him with her.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Bye Bye 80's kitchen!!

Well, my kitchen is mostly finished!! It's completely painted!! I am so excited to have a brighter updated kitchen.  It just feels completely different.  I'm not completely finished but here's what I've got for now.   The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Linen White and the walls are Benjamin Moore clay beige. I'm so glad to see the florescent oak square light gone!! I replaced it with chandeliers I got at a flea market!! :) We also hired an electrician to put more canned lighting in because after the florescent square was gone, we needed more lighting. I painted 48 cabinets and drawers and the body of the cabinets (don't know what the official name for that is) and was so burned out by the time I finished the island that my sweet husband suggested we hire a painter to paint the rest for me! I am SOOOO glad he did!!!!  See the faith, truth, love window frame beside the pantry door? Well, my super talented sister-in-law, Sabrin...
Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
