Life's a Beach!

We just got back from the beach last night! It was a wonderful vacation. I love my life here but I could seriously live at the beach. I just LOVE it there, especially in September when it's cooler and less crowded. There were so many times when I went out on the balcony and just had this incredible peace and thankfulness to God.....the cool breeze blowing, listening to great music on my iPod, watching God's glorious ocean, seeing the birds fly by. It's hard to leave that. I tell ya, though, on the way back home, I couldn't get home quick enough...I was so anxious to see Rosie Love!!! :) After 11 hours in the car, it was GREAT to be back. I can't wait to go again, though.


Kathryn met us there and spent 2 days with us. What a blessing that sweet girl is! I want to be like her.

LOVE this towel wrap!!! I have been wanting it since I saw it on an e-mail Bath and Body Works sent me. I even went to B&BW to look for it but they didn't have it. I was planing on ordering it online but hadn't yet. We stopped at the Watermelon Patch at a town about 30 miles from Hattiesberg (I was thinking that was the big Watermelon Patch my friend had told me about) and there was the towel wrap I've been wanting. Isn't it CUTE?! I love it!!! I love the cute ruffle at the bottom. We ended up going to the huge Watermelon Patch (cute store!) in Hattiesburg and they didn't have my towel so I'm glad we stopped at the little one.

I LOVE the beach!!!

I'll write more later about our whole beach vacation. I don't have time now because I've got BUNCO tonight!!! YAY!!! I absolutely love Bunco! Great food, great friends, great fun, and great gifts to the winners! :) We had our first Esther Bible study this morning. I love those Beth Moore videos so much....she makes me laugh so hard and she so obviously adores the Lord. I'm so thankful that God has given her such a gift to bless others...super thrilled about the study! Afterwards, I went to YaYa's with a few girls in our small group. Of course, I got dessert and was the only one. :) HA! :) Then, I came home and made Rolo brownies with Rosie. I bought her an apron and chef's hat while I was in Orange Beach because she loves aprons and she loves to cook. Those Rolo brownies are so good. I need to get them out of the house quick!!! I'm getting a cold. Fortunately, I still have some Zicam swabs left and my sweet sister, Marci, sent me 2 of her boxes. Those things save me from colds. I've already taken 2 today so hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow. Better boogie...gotta leave in 45 mins!

More later! :)

So jealous of your beach trip and bunco night! I dropped out of my group when we moved a few years back and haven't plugged into a new one.

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...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
