I'm participating in some of the days in the Wives of Faith Christmas Blog Carnival. It's a lot of fun because they give us topics to write about and we get to read other people's blogs and connect and make friends, not to mention just enjoying Christmas. This post is going to be short and sweet...literally! :) Most people think of cranberry sauce as a standard traditional holiday dish, but it's rare to find a person who actually likes it. That's because most people go to the store and get thi... Continue reading ...

thing to eat? What is the ideal “treat” for you when it comes to these
warm summer months?If you know anything about me at all, you probably know that when it comes to Aprille, there'... Continue reading ...

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL DAY 12. 1. The first thing I don't take for granted this year is God's amazing love...I know it may sound a bit trite, but God is showing me every day how much He loves me and cares for me, even when I don't feel worthy. It's so easy to feel like God can't show us love because we aren't perfect and disappoint Him so much, but the older I get the more I realized that God delights in giving us good and perfect gifts! 2. The second thing I don't t... Continue reading ...

Well I don't know how to read I guess! So my last post was my *blonde moment of the day*...but I will keep it because it is a good post! Now onto the REAL topic: "After all of the packages you’ve packed for your husband, wouldn’t it
be nice if someone mailed you a care package? What would be in it?
Today we’re asking you to write about your dream care package you would
love to receive in the mail for yourself – no expense spared, but it
has to fit in a flat rate box. (Sorry, you can’... Continue reading ...

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL DAY 10. I am once again going to take some writer's liberty with this blog post, partially because when the topics were first posted I misunderstood what this post was supposed to be about, wrote my post, and don't want to change it, and partially because this is a blog post that I have been looking forward to writing for a while. When I read the title of the post, the phrase "First Christmas" in my mind translated into "First Christmas with Ru... Continue reading ...

busy with church and napping today so I just decided that instead of

carnival tomorrow! Tomorrow's post will be my favorite so "stay
tuned"!!!!
Can you believe I've been blogging for a year now?!?!

WIVES OF FAITH BLOG CARNIVAL DAY SEVEN.I have to say that of all of the topics chosen for this blog carnival, this one will be the most difficult one for me to write. This post will reveal things about my life that sometimes I would rather left un-shared. And this post will probably make some people upset or at least stir up disagreement. When I was a child, Christmas to me meant about what it means to most other children of low-medium income families. I was always excited about the presents,... Continue reading ...
WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL DAY 5. I could only come up with a few for this post, but they are all from personal experience. ...if you don't call it “Christmas Break” but instead call it
“Christmas Leave.”
...if you are done with your Christmas shopping in November
because you have to get that care package sent out in time for it to
make its way overseas to reach your husband by Christmas. ...if the brass quartet you listen to while you are shopping is wearing ACUs... Continue reading ...

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL DAY 4.(Disclaimer: To be completely honest, this post is going to be about the 2nd best gift I've ever received. The truly best gift I ever received I will divulge completely in my post on the 21st entitled "What the First Christmas Means To Me.") But, aside from that, bar none, the story I'm about to share with you is one of my fondest Christmas memories ever. If you didn't already know, I am a musician by trade, songwriter by imagination, and ... Continue reading ...

My wife knows that I am writing this blog, but as I am typing she doesn't know what I'm writing. She did tell me there's some kind of contest or something on wives of faith and that she couldn't really figure out what is the best gift she ever gave. To me its obvious. I guess I am "cheating" since I am writing this and not her, and I guess its supposed to be written until the 14th of December, but since I don't really care if she wins I have no problem in cheating. I just want to say this... Continue reading ...

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL....DAY 2.My favorite recipes for Christmas have got to be almond spritz cookies and buckeyes (also known as "peanut butter bonbons.") As those are very popular Christmas foods and the recipes are readily available, I've chosen to post two lesser-known recipes that I really like.
SOFT SUGAR
COOKIES (I got this one off of cooks.com and it turned out WONDERFUL!!)
1 cup sugar 1 cup butter
1 teaspoon
vanilla
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL....DAY 1.My favorite Christmas song is........"On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me....!!!!" (Lol SOMEONE had to say it right?!?!)
Anyone who has known me closely knows that when I say that a song
is “my favorite,” most likely an hour later the identical words
will come out of my mouth in regards to another. I love music, and I
have numerous "favorite" songs.
When it comes to Christmas songs, I have favorites in dif... Continue reading ...
