#LightTheWorld
Today was a sweet day.
Today, we prepped and served lunch at the Ronald McDonald House. We grated carrots and browned hamburger and dumped in cans of beans until the biggest pot of minestrone I’ve ever made simmered with the smell basil and love.
We tossed salad and baked cookies and watched brave souls feed their bodies and hopefully their hearts.
And I remembered. I remembered being there last year. …
4-Ingredient Artisan Bread
My mom makes amazing homemade bread. And rolls. I can do neither. You know when you watch all of those cooking competitions (MasterChef, Food Network Star, Worst Cooks in America, The Taste, etc…), you always here about baking being a science. That it’s tough. That it requires precision. Yes. I’m no scientist. I’m…
DIY: Scarecrow
So here’s the thing. I hate being scared. I’m all about dressing up and having a good time on Halloween, but you’ll never find me at a haunted house, haunted corn maze, or haunted anything. I’m 25 and if I remember correctly have only been to 2 haunted corn mazes and pretty much hated them…

Are You Ready? Keys & Copies
I missed a call from my college son last week. He’d locked himself out of his apartment. Fortunately, all his viewing of Psych episodes helped him get in through the window. You see, as lovable as he is, he’s a bit “key-challenged.” In high school he’d head to the gym to play basketball at 5:30…
DIY Nacho Bar & Recipes
Almost three months ago we moved in to this lovely little house, only two weeks before we were due to have a baby. And we needed a lot of help and a little bit of kindness. Some neighbors we met at church stepped up and provided just that-and we’re so grateful. These are people…
Mission Possible – Family History Activity
I was recently called as a family history consultant in our new ward. It’s a new-to-me calling and I’m learning a lot and enjoying it! We were asked to put on an activity for the youth in our ward and decided to do a Mission Possible theme. It was fun, pretty simple to put on,…
Candy Corn Cupcakes
Which Halloween candy do you hate the most? About five years ago a poll of candy consumers were asked by a market research firm to name their favorite treat brands.
