    Censored By My “Peers” Of The Writing World

    04/21 /No Comments

    Hypocrite: One who assumes a false appearance; one who feigns to be what he is not, or to feel or believe what he does not actually feel or believe; especially, a false pretender to virtue or piety. This word has been what I have discovered in the group, Her View From Home Team, that I once was part of to be. It was all rainbows and puppy dogs until you have a matter of difference in opinion or a voice that does not align with the rhetoric. I suppose had I put hearts as a comment vs facts I would still be part of the group. One of the owners…

    Easy Homemade Crepes

    04/05 /No Comments

    Crepes are a type of very thin pancake and I absolutely love making them! My favorite variety is with Nutella, Strawberries and Bananas! You can fill them how you like however and make them savory or sweet! I do not have a Crepe pan but I use my coated cast iron and they turn out fabulous! These are insanely versatile and are a great dish for any meal.   Video Below: Crepes With Nutella Hope y’all enjoy these as much as my household does!

    To the mom/woman that ______, I donโ€™t See you.

    03/05 /1 Comment

    To the mom/woman that ______, I donโ€™t See you So many titles these days that have โ€œI See Youโ€ and this may make me a bit unpopular but, I don’t See you. I don’t See the struggles you face with depression or anxiety every day because of your situation. I don’t See the difficulties of having a child with special needs. I don’t See the woman that has spent countless hours injecting herself with a cocktail of meds and praying this time will be her miracle and conceive. I don’t See the mama that is with the love of her life in the NICU, praying that she will get to…

    Pirate Themed Birthday Party

    02/18 /4 Comments

    I had no idea this would be one of the most fun partyโ€™s to plan and decorate for! My little one is into pirates so it only seemed fitting to have a ย pirate themed birthday party. We had his party at an indoor trampoline park and the kiddos had so much fun! Enough of that though here is the details for decorating and the cupcakes/ cake. Since COVID is still a concern I had an individual cake made for him and made cupcakes for everyone else so he could still blow out his candles. Thank God for ETSY and the talented people on there! I have link backs to everything.…

    Are We Practicing Grace, Love & Forgiveness As Jesus Would?

    My kiddo has found a new show that he adores and I am on board as well as it teaches great life principles and lessons. The show is Superbook. It is 2 children and their robot that are transported in time by “Superbook” to the biblical era. They are always transported into a point that teaches them something that they are experiencing in real time. We have watched a dozen or so episodes now and not only is my child learning, I am learning. How am I learning you ask, I will tell you.

    What Lane Are You Living In?

    10/29 /2 Comments

    I live in the Atlanta area and I am sure that most of you have heard of our traffic nightmares and the different roads here. We have a few highways that we joke about referring to โ€œspeed limitsโ€ or the lack thereof. I will explain how one of them are and that highway is 400. You have several lanes including the shoulder during rush hour. Rush hour is all day of course and not one span of hours in particular. Anyhow I digress. The far left lane is the โ€œBat Out Of Hell Super Speederโ€ lane as I like to call it. I am sure there is a speed limit…

    The Parable of the Dragonfly

    08/26 /No Comments

    My husbandโ€™s aunt passed away last week and while the service was short it was profound. There is a parable that is read at all of his family’s funerals and this one touched my life! I will comment more at the end:   The Parable of the Dragonfly   THE DRAGONFLY Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in awhile one of their colony seemed to lose…

    The Summer My Gen Alpha Got To Experience Summer As A Gen X’er!

    07/29 /3 Comments

    I was truly nervous this year as the pandemic virtually shut down any summer vacation plans for our family. My little one is three and we had “big plans” that included a trip overseas. That all came to a screeching halt in March however due to COVID and lock-downs. I literally panicked as what in the world is going to keep my little one busy all summer with no friends, no travel, nothing! I had to take a deep breath and think back to my childhood. There were no big trips and elaborate vacations. My summers were full of riding our bikes until the street lights came on. Playing in…

    Has Quarantine Life Changed Us And The Way We Behave Toward Others?

    07/27 /No Comments

    Okay hear me out for a minute. I live in the South and we are known for “Southern Hospitality”, but I fear the virus has changed us and I hope we can get back to the way we were. We went to Blue Ridge, Georgia this weekend and while it is normally the sweetest little southern town you would ever, it has turned ugly. People are just, different. I know we are fearful of catching a virus that we still don’t know a ton about and what we do know changes daily, but when did we stop being polite or hospitable to each other? I wear a mask so I…
