I'm just trying to walk myself home.

After a few glitches on the road trip out (flat tires and lost keys and such), we had a wonderful two weeks in Colorado and Utah. We saw new beauties and old favorites! Here are a few highlights of our first few days, which we spent in Aspen, Colorado at Difficult Campground. The Aspens and …
We really try to get out of the heat in Arkansas in the summertime. (It was 107 degrees today!) So we’re headed to Colorado this year again. Whitney took our pictures in Crested Butte, Colorado last year and we have them hanging in our living room, reminding us that soon we will be dancing among …
This is the Award Winning Blackberry Peach Cobbler Recipe that was featured on Daybreak on KATV and that won me a year’s supply of Yarnell’s Ice Cream! This recipe is quite possibly the easiest cobbler you can make since it uses a streusel topping instead of a crust. Easy Blackberry Peach Cobbler with Walnut Streusel …
Sucre Pie from the book about Hutterites. I read this book about Hutterites last year and at the back of the book was this wonderfully simple recipe for a sugar pie. It almost seemed too easy to be good. But the sweet gal who runs Boxed Lunch Book Club at church always brings a dessert …
My sister and her kids came in town last week to get a little bit of Arkansas and a whole lot of cousin time into their summer. We spent four days all together and then the older kids headed off to Discipleship Camp with Taido while we took the younger ones over to Hot Springs. …
A Beauty To Unveil A woman in her glory, a woman of beauty, is a woman who is not striving to become beautiful or worthy or enough. She knows in her quiet center where God dwells that He finds her beautiful, has deemed her worthy and in Him, she is enough. She exudes a sense …
We LOVE fruit smoothies at our house. I’ve been making them since before I even had a blender. I would use my food processor to make what sometimes tasted like fruit sorbets for an after pool snack. In the winter months, we eat a lot of oatmeal in the morning, but in the summertime, I …
This is the fourth in a series of posts about a super fun birthday cruise that was planned by my friends, Sarabeth and Rhonda. Read the the other parts here: part 1, part 2, and part 3. The Story of 12 Women Who Went on a Cruise, Part 4: On the boat! photo by Whitney …
This is the third in a series of posts about a super fun birthday cruise that was planned by my friends, Sarabeth and Rhonda. Read the first here. And the second here. The Story of 12 Women Who Went On a Cruise, Part 3: Road Trip to Our Cruise Port The day finally arrived for …
The Story of 12 Women who went on a Cruise: Part 1, The Planning OR How I went from being a Cruise Skeptic to a Cruise Addict In the winter of 2011, I was strongly encouraging two of my dearest friends to follow through on a dream they had about something that is near and …
I’ve been back for a few days from our cruise (which we hashtagged #cruisazy), and the kids and Taido are back from camp. We’ve been buried in laundry and are all a wee bit tired, but this video that Whitney made with photos from our cruise is making me smile! I will be watching it …
So when I was going through backpacking pictures from Ben’s trip to Colorado, I realized that I have all these pictures of Cole’s trip in 2006. Since that pre-dates this blog, I decided to go ahead and post them this week. That way one day when my kids are looking for pictures of themselves, they …
Remember all those different blog posts about our trip to Colorado last summer? I guess I got a little burned out on mountain pictures, because I neglected to put these up from Ben’s inaugural backpacking trip. My dad, Taido and Bobby take the graduating seniors backpacking every summer before they head off to college. They …
At the end of July we had a homemade ice cream party at the apartments behind our church. A big old fashioned ice cream social. It was all kinds of fun, and the ice cream was definitely the highlight. Before the event Daddy and I were making our ice cream together at my house on …
Every year at d camp we do a hike and swim day. It’s nice to get out of camp for a day and hang around the Buffalo River, famous for drop dead gorgeous cliffs jutting up out of the snaking river. It became apparent early in the week that we were MUCH too big a …
D Camp Oh Discipleship Camp, lovingly referred to as d-camp. Where should I even start? So much could be said about the 6 days of being at camp with over 100 middle school students during one of the hottest Junes ever recorded in the history of this fine state of Arkansas. Really, the amount of …
So, I never finished putting up all my pictures from our trip to Colorado. These are all pictures from hikes we did in and around Aspen. Every day we spent in Aspen we found a new hike to go on. This trail actually left from our campground, Difficult Creek. The kids love to stop near …
We spent a lovely two days in the area of Rifle, Colorado, a place I had never even heard tell of before last week. Though we enjoyed our time there, we probably won’t go back since it is so far west in Colorado. Unless, of course, I take up rock climbing, which is about as …
Crested Butte Yoga in Colorado at Yoga For The Peaceful If you’ve been following me since our last visit to Crested Butte, you know that I enjoy some mountain yoga. I went to four different classes the last time I was here, and wrote about every single one of them. (See yoga archives.) When we …
We are escaping the Arkansas heat this week in one of our favorite spots in the whole world. Crested Butte, Colorado. We headed out this morning for our first real hike of the week. Judd Falls. We drove through the tiny settlement of Gothic, Colorado. Students of all ages were out in the fields studying, …
