Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
So, it’s been rainy and cold (well, colder) so our family had to find some indoors fun this weekend, which happened to coincide with my husband’s birthday. My daughter wanted to pick a gift for him and this is what she chose: Pop Goes Froggio was her choice because she wanted to give him something [...]
Today, I’m going to be really honest and share something embarrassing with you. All I can say is, “Judge not…lest ye be judged.” Okay? Anyway, here goes: This…. is what my plastic container cabinet looked like when I woke up this morning. A complete disaster. You know the kind, right? Cabinets that you have to [...]
Who says Mississippi never comes in first? Jackson was just named the #1 most challenging city to live with allergies in the spring. But, you knew that right? What you might not know is that All Free Clear can help you fight those allergies. Here’s how: “Millions of seasonal allergen pollen grains get trapped in [...]
Today, I finished a Bible study. Finally. I’ve only been working on it since September. It was a six-week study. You do the math. The group I was part of has long since stopped meeting, and I almost gave up on ever seeing the end of Nehemiah. Still, I just had to keep going. Little [...]
Okay, I’ve been on a bit of a cappuccino kick here lately. It probably has a little something to do with the fact that on a recent coffee run with a sister of mine, she ordered “extra foam,” and I just haven’t been the same since. Problem is: My espresso maker/milk frother just isn’t working right. [...]
Let’s be honest….almost everyone loves a good grilled cheese, right? Especially when soup season comes around. My kids love them, and they eat them crust and all. I like them, too, but lately, I’ve been experimenting with more grown-up versions of the grilled cheese. Let me share a very easy and delicious one with you. [...]
(Note from MississippiMom: Ginger sent this to me when the weather was still warm so the napkins seem a bit out of place with this week’s weather, but the trick will work with any napkins so enjoy!) With church fellowships, tail gate parties, Fall get- togethers for football TV viewing, and other social gatherings, here’s [...]
The past few years, I’ve been very blessed to take party in a weekly women’s Bible study. It’s been a bright spot in many weeks for me…you know, that shining moment each week when I get to have conversation with adults. That, and the fact that it’s helped to keep me grounded and growing in [...]
Okay, I can’t take credit for this tip…..I learned it over lunch at good friend’s house once as I was enjoying her delicious vegetable soup. It’s simple. When making vegetable soup, use V8 juice instead of tomato sauce. You up the veggie ante, and your kids don’t even know it! Here’s how I make [...]
Have you had too many bugs around your Banana Bowl this summer? About a month ago those fruit flies were about to take over our kitchen! We’d never seen so many! My husband said, “It makes you think they’re coming in on the bananas; then hatching out!” Maybe they do? We don’t know. But they [...]
