I love food and I love eating out. Cooking at home is a different story. As a teacher and mom of 2 little ones preparing meals is a difficult task for me. I prefer using recipes that take little to no time and have minimal ingredients! My favorite type of food is hands down ITALIAN! I love everything about Italian food from the history to the flavor!

We are called to L O V E PLUS my Valentine's Gift Guide
I love holidays!!!!! I especially love a day that is centered around LOVE. Shouldn't that be everyday though? Love can be a beautiful thing. Love is a choice. Love is a feeling. Love is patient.

Ainsley no longer needs as many "baby" items in her diaper bag . With her being 2 I feel like I need pack just as many items though!

What’s your job?
Today as I was reading the Bible to my class and a phrase that John the Baptist said really spoke to me. He was preaching to the Israelite's about getting their lives right with God and that the Kingdom is on its way! He says to " Do your jobs well and without grumbling!"
