Merry Christmas! I absolutely love this season. It’s such a wonderful time of celebration for the birth of our Savior. I love the music, excitement, family, friends, great food; I even love the snow. Every year after Thanksgiving I look forward to decorating the house. This year’s a little different, however. With a toddler running …
Living 1,307 miles away from our closest family members can make staying in touch a bit of a challenge. Growing up, my husband and I were blessed to be very close to family and grandparents. Those relationships greatly influenced our childhoods and who we are today. One of our biggest desires is for family to …
It’s been beautiful here lately. One of my favorite things about the East Coast is the seasons, especially autumn. Western Nebraska has a beauty all of its own, but that doesn’t include many trees. The few deciduous trees that do grow there generally have their leaves frozen off by early cold weather. Friday was a perfect example …
There is only one week left till my due date, and our little bundle of joy could arrive any day now. Most of the major things have been crossed off our to-do list; so to help pass the hours I turned my efforts to a fun project for the nursery, a crafty handmade mobile. I …

The days and months of my pregnancy are continuing to fly by. It’s hard to believe that today I’m starting my 36th week, just a little over one month left to go. So, now that we are in the homestretch, friends, family members, and even my doctor have suggested that I go ahead and start …
Welcome to the final post in the Blessings Blanket series. Over the last month and a half, I have been working through the process of creating an heirloom quilt composed of material sent in from friends and family members. This has been a lot of fun and a great learning opportunity. And now I’m happy …
Yesterday’s post on thankfulness was as much for me as for any of the readers. It’s amazing that I often need frequent reminders about the most basic aspects of life which you would think I’d never forget. With busy schedules and hectic lives we seem to dismiss and neglect the simple traits which are vital for …
Craving a taste of home and needing to have some quick options on hand when family came to visit, I decided to give my Grandma’s German Cabbage Burger recipe a try. Back in Nebraska they actually have a restaurant chain that sells something similar, and many call them “Runzas“. The name Cabbage Burger can be a little misleading for …
