• {recipe}: Authentic Homemade Flour Tortillas

    Pin It So clearly, my tortilla rolling skills are lacking. But who really cares about the shape of them when their yummy goodness is all that matters?! During a recent visit, my wonderful mother not only cooked up some of her down-home traditional Mexican dishes for me and my family,…

  • A sweet new angelface

    No, no, he's not mine!  But I held him like he was!  One of my dearest friends just had her baby last week and I was privileged enough to come by and see them both and hang out for a bit.  Oh, my how I suddenly realized that I would…

  • Memorial Day weekend recap

    This was by far the BEST Memorial Day weekend to date! Jacob is finally old enough to really get a kick out of our annual KC Jiggle Jam tradition, and we got to hang out with several of our great friends, which have become more like family! I {humbly} serve…

  • Comfortable

    There's just something about a good ol' laid back Girls Night Out that rejuvenates the soul.  I guess in this case it was technically a Girls Night In.  A friend of mine so graciously hosted a Bachelorette watch party at her house last night and it was just the thing…

  • Family medicine

    My what a whirlwind week it has been.  This past week I have spent praying harder I think, than I ever have.  I've witnessed compassion and love like I've never seen before.  With my dad undergoing his surgery, I have been moved to look at life in a whole different…

  • My heart is in Texas.

    My heart's in Texas. Last Wednesday my dad suffered a heart attack and thankfully although he was alone at the time, was able to drive himself to the emergency room.  Doctors determined that he had major blockage in at least one artery which warranted putting a stent in.  They also…

  • Family portrait.

    This past weekend we spent celebrating my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday.  Her one wish was to take a family picture – kids, spouses, grandkids — the whole crew!  So yesterday we headed out for family pics at a local portrait place.  And, although they aren’t the style of photos I would…
