Year in Review :: Favorite Posts from 2015

Dec312015

This past year was hard on many different levels - my mom had breast cancer and surgery, my dad had numerous surgeries, and emotionally I felt all over the place. Most appreciated were the MANY sweet comments, prayers, and emails that I received from you all. This blogging journey is so much more than just me spilling words onto a page.

10 Best Books I Read in 2015

Dec292015

Although there were definitely more things that I wanted to do either together (and here on the blog), the blog has taken a back seat for a little bit and we have had a great time doing a whole lot of NOTHING. It feels … [Continue reading...]

Graham Toffee Crunch Treats Recipe

Dec212015

One of the Christmas recipes we’ve really enjoyed this year is Graham Toffee Crunch Treats. These are a bit of a twist on an old recipe, using graham crackers (something we had an abundance of from camping) in place of saltine crackers. We also added in an extra sprinkle of some toffee yumminess to the top and the kids have been gobbling it up! With just a few days left before Christmas, this is … [Continue reading...]
