I think this picture was taken around 1976ish. My little sister looks like she’s about a year old, and she was born in 1975. We were living in Texas at the time and it was our very snow. You can tell because we’re wearing lightweight jackets. Mom said we were a little puzzled but we…
Throwback Thursday: First Snow
With the cold snap that’s gripping the nation, I thought it’d be fun to share a picture from my first snow. We were living in El Paso, Texas at the time, so I think my twin sister and I were about four or five and my younger sister was about one or two. Notice how…
Throwback Thursday: Photography, the Beginning
And this is where it all began. My husband and I were walking through an underground tunnel and the light was just incredible. I snapped and a hobby was born. It wasn’t until a few years later that The Hubs surprised me with a Nikon D3100, but it all began with a cell phone, timing,…
Throwback Thursday: Easy Vegetable Lasagna {In the Kitchen}
In honor of Throwback Thursday, a repost from 6 March 2012. Enjoy! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about Meatless Monday, I guess because we’ve mostly been eating soups on those days but last night was totally different.

Throwback Thursday: Remember the Sabbath {In the Church}
Originally posted: 30 November 2011 Rush rush rush, it always seems like I’m in a hurry to catch up on stuff. That’s my life, 24/7. Whoa, wait! Did I just say 24/7? Yes, I did. And that’s a problem. The Lord tells us in Exodus 20:10 that the seventh day is the Lord’s day and…
Throwback Thursday: Homemade Potato, Corn and Shrimp Chowder {In the Kitchen}
Originally posted: 8 November 2012 Have you ever wanted to eat something so badly that you thought about it all day long? That’s how I was the other night. I wanted Shrimp and Grits with Fried Chicken. Desperately. So I quickly drove home and, guess what? No grits anywhere in the house. So I started…
Throwback Thursday: Handwritten Treasures {In the Dark Room}
Folded in my wallet are four letters that my sweet little babies wrote to me when I left home for my first business trip. At the time, they were 4, 6, 6, and 8. The notes were neatly tucked in the side pocket of my suitcase, to be discovered when I unpacked. What’re you sharing…
