Throwback Thursday: First Snow
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 enjoyed it. I wish I’d taken pictures of my kids the first time they saw snow. We were living in Pennsylvania at my mother-in-law’s house, and the kids were all gathered around the window, pointing excitedly. When they saw me, they exclaimed: “Milk, Mommy, milk!” I hollered. Enjoy your weekend, Follow Living…

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 we didn’t have gloves or “winter” coats. But I think the star of the show is my mom’s afro. On a related note {and, gah, I wish I had pictures}… The first time my kids saw snow was when they were between 2 and 5 years old. We were living in Pennsylvania at the time,…

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. I made a Vegetable Lasagna that was to die for… OK, truth, the girls and I loved it, the guys not so much. So while it may not be a total guy pleaser, I think it’s well worth trying. Ingredients 4 Zucchini (sliced) 1 Green Pepper (diced) 1 Red Onion (diced) 1 Package Frozen Spinach (defrosted) Mushrooms (sliced) Garlic Powder Salt & Pepper 1 Package lasagna noodles 2 (15 oz)…

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 on that day we nor anyone in our households are to do any work, that day is to be reserved for rest and worship, not for catching up on laundry or balancing the check book or whatever we come up with to do on that day. We are to observe the Sabbath by keeping it holy…

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 thinking and thinking and thinking and when I finally accepted the fact that I wasn’t going to get in my car and drive back in to town just for some grits, I decided to make chowder. Best decision ever. Here’s the recipe, I hope you agree. What you need: 1/2 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined…

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 for Throwback Thursday? Follow my blog with Bloglovin
